Electric Car Batteries Lithium Ion Batteries Breakthrough Electric Car Range Tripled

Electric car batteries or lithium-ion batteries advances effectively triple electric car range. Envia Systems, who is a technology leader in lithium-ion energy storage announced a major breakthrough in technology in this field. The new Envia technology builds on the work done at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory which is located in southwest DuPage County, IL, 25 miles southwest of Chicago and managed by UChicago Argonne, LLC for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science.

Building on the existing award-winning Argonne-Envia collaboration, the Argonne license contributed complementary technology to Envia’s development of industry-leading lithium-ion battery solutions. General Motors also invested $7 million in Envia to provide its “battery engineering team with access to advanced lithium-ion cathode technology that delivers higher cell energy density and lower cost.” Other Envia Investors include Asahi Kasei and Asahi Glass, Bay Partners, Redpoint and Panagea Ventures totaling $17 million.

Advanced Research Project Agency•Energy, or ARPA•E gave them a $4 million dollar award grant to help with the research as well. The whole idea of ARPA•E was:

To bring a freshness, excitement, and sense of mission to energy research that will attract many of the U.S.’s best and brightest minds—those of experienced scientists and engineers, and, especially, those of students and young researchers, including persons in the entrepreneurial world.
