Good stuff Bill, maybe, just maybe, some dots are starting to connect.

Bloom, who manages the Battery Post-Test Facility and Electrochemical Analysis and Diagnostics Laboratory (EADL), is a key player.

To be successful, Bloom and colleagues use a methodical approach in which they first identify and characterize the nature of the fast charge problem. This requires the expertise of EADL researchers who perform electrochemical transport properties tests on materials carefully chosen for their potential. After evaluating and understanding their transport properties, researchers model the material in prototype cells and examine the effects of fast charging.

Widespread demand for electric vehicles could hinge on batteries that can be charged in minutes instead of hours, and researchers at the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory are on the road to making that happen.

“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.

Argonne, nationally renowned for its capabilities in battery testing, materials and development, has a prominent role in this effort, and Bloom, who manages the Battery Post-Test Facility and Electrochemical Analysis and Diagnostics Laboratory (EADL), is a key player.

Robert Kruse Jr. Wonder how and if their battery is tied in to Neah Power....and the fast charge VTO focus....

Mr. Kruse is a battery and energy storage subject matter expert. Mr. Kruse is currently EVP Battery Operations at Karma Automotive and was previously CTO for Qoros Automotive in Shanghai China.

n the last VTO post test characterization update in the June 2017 merit review of the prior years testing, there were no profound discoveries announced. They abused a set of batteries and they degraded accordingly. Then NEAH was added to the collaboration and 5 months later the Chief Scientist gets positive about mainstreaming EV's ?

Things that make you go Hmmmm.

As I said, this could be coincidence.

Is it just a coincidence that the Team Lead working with NEAH on the VTO project is quoted here and announced as point on the new development push and the funding opportunity ?

The high range of solid-state batteries is made possible due to the extra energy density compared to the current lithium-ion batteries. Specifically, Fisker’s design is claimed to have 2.5 times the energy density of current battery technology. But solid-state batteries also enable quicker charging. This is due to their three-dimensional electrodes that have 25 times more surface area than flat thin-film electrodes, along with high electronic and ionic conductivities.

NEAH has created a better battery and are just coming out to world with more than " The Battery exceeds expectations ".

There is a reason for that. Not only better but safer. Do you understand the importance of the "SAFER" claim in a Lithium Metal Battery ?

Obviously they got confirmation of dendrite prevention from the characterizations. Which may be the reason that a week or two later they were absorbed into the VTO project which is studying dendrite growth on Lithium batteries that are abused/overcharged and the rate of dendrite growth because of abuse.

Why would a NEAH battery be in a Tesla? NEAH started and still is a "Fuel Cell" company which Tesla's CEO calls "Fool Cells". No kinship there.

I doubt you will see a NEAH battery in a Tesla. Possible that other car manufacturers will jump on the tech before "Fool Cell" boy even thinks to try.

It has come out that they have a superior battery. There are people on the XNRGI team with connections to car manufacturers already, do you think they will not be the first to adopt the NEAH Battery ?

You can rant and you can rail. however I think NEAH will move forward starting now. If they were not ready, they would have remained quiet longer.

JMHO
