Envia Systems Wins 2009 R&D 100 Award for Electric Vehicle Battery With Highest Energy Density
Font size:
Envia Systems in partnership with Argonne National Laboratory received an R&D 100 award for its lithium-ion battery for plug-in electric vehicles (PHEVs).
The lithium-ion battery developed by Envia Systems and Argonne provides the highest energy and cycle life of all lithium-ion systems available in the market today for electric vehicles. This technology will facilitate vehicle manufacturers in meeting the stringent U.S. Advanced Battery Consortium requirements for powering 40 mile range PHEVs.According to IBM's Report Automotive 2020, by 2020 every new vehicle will utilize some degree of battery power. Underperformance and high costs have kept lithium batteries from being adopted for use in electric vehicles.
"Electric vehicles are the future of the automotive industry, yet batteries have lagged in performance causing costs to be prohibitively high," said Dr. Khalil Amine, Senior Scientist and Manager of the Advanced Battery Technology Group at Argonne National Laboratory. "The partnership between Argonne and Envia has been very successful in developing industry leading technology for next generation vehicles that enable significant cost savings. We look forward to our continued collaboration with Envia."
