H2020 backs EV range extension tech » Horizon 2020 Projects
The European Commission is backing a project targeting the development of advanced battery technology that could increase the range of electric vehicles.
The ALISE project is receiving funding over four years through Horizon 2020 and intends to realise lithium sulfur technology to 500Wh/kg with 2,000 cycles by 2019. It will involve the development of the key components of the cell, namely the anode, cathode and electrolyte and will culminate in an ultra-lightweight battery for a SEAT vehicle for testing on tracks and public roads.
