Obama ramps up electric car battery bags

While the Obama administration is preparing legislation for the energy, the focus was on distributing research money to try to keep America in the struggle for production of next-generation batteries that will power electric vehicles.

For example, Vice President Joseph Biden visited a company compaq presario cq42 battery  called UQM Technologies near Boulder, Colorado, who won Friday a $ 45,000,000 grant under the stimulus bill to increase the production of propulsion systems for electric cars . UQM is working with Coda Automotive, a company in Santa Monica, Calif., which hopes to sell electric cars next year. This machine is the tail in the photo above.

The administration just donated another $ 106 for research projects in the energy field including a group of batteries. After all the talk about how electric vehicles compaq presario cq72 battery  will be powered by lithium ion batteries, which struck Drive In was the wide range of battery chemistry that is being researched. They include:

·                Lithium-sulfer. Sion Power Co. in Tucson received a $ 5,000,000 grant to see if you can develop a battery that can go 300 miles between charges.

·                Zinc air flow. A form of slurry of zinc were stored in a tank and passed through a tube to charge and discharge a battery. Revolt Technology in Portland, Oregon, received $ 5,000,000 grant.

·                Lithium-air. Another $ 5,000,000 for PolyPlus battery Berkeley, Calif., to develop a battery hp pavilion dm4 battery  that has the energy density of gasoline.

·                Magnesium-ion battery. Pellion Technologies of Menlo Park, California, have developed a battery cheap with this technology with its $ 3,200,000 grant.

·                Advanced lithium-ion battery. The next generation of lithium-ion battery that is low cost and high energy density through this $ 4,300,000 is for Applied Materials in Santa Clara, California.

·                Lithium solid state. Planar Energy Devices of Orlando hp g72t battery will receive $ 4,000,000 to explore an ultra high density, long cycle battery that uses inorganic materials and solid state electrolytes.
