References from these reports all seem to be from April 2017 or much earlier....before the Neah battery samples arrive so it is quite interesting

From the Article:
Our goal is to give drivers an experience they're familiar with, and that is being able to pull into a station, charge their battery and be on their way in about 10 minutes," said Argonne chemist and battery expert Ira Bloom, who sees this happening in the near future. DOE's Vehicle Technologies Office is demonstrating its commitment to this effort through a $15 million funding opportunity announced Oct. 24.

If and I mean If, NEAH gets some of that funding then we will know its their battery that sparked the "in the near future" comment.

The three laboratories' findings are featured in the current edition of the Journal of Power Sources.

Summarizes the NREL team's findings on how battery, vehicle, infrastructure, and economic factors impact XFC feasibility

Speeding up battery charging is crucial to improving the convenience of owning and driving an electric vehicle (EV). The Energy Department's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is collaborating with Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), Idaho National Laboratory (INL), and industry stakeholders to identify the technical, infrastructure, and economic requirements for establishing a national extreme fast charging (XFC) network.

A series of articles in the November 2017 issue of the Journal of Power Sources summarizes the NREL team's findings on how battery, vehicle, infrastructure, and economic factors impact XFC feasibility.

There was this email... DOE is not updating project as it has the other projects... Ira Bloom uses powerpoint for reports so that they can not be searched.... Something not quite right. Where is the update?

Julia,

I contacted the PI (Ira Bloom) and here is his update on this project:

Greg: It took a while to get the CRADA paperwork in place. The CRADA was fully executed on 4/18/2017. We received the initial samples for characterization from NEAH Power. The samples were shipped to us on 5/26/2017 and were received in June. The baseline material was characterized in terms of microstructure; these results were shared with NEAH by e-mail and discussed with them on a phone call on 7/10/2017. We continue to characterize their materials and should have more results to share with them by the end of the week. --Ira

So, it looks like things are now on track and the project is underway.

Neah has been added as collaborator with a much bigger budget..


Ira Bloom is listed on websites very little current information from Argonne mostly 2016 news....
