  DE-FOA-0000207 Batteries for Electrical Energy Storage in Transportation (BEEST) Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) 1/15/2010 05:00 PM ET 3/15/2010 05:00 PM ET

DE-FOA-0000207: Batteries for Electrical Energy Storage in Transportation (BEEST)

Batteries for Electrical Energy Storage in Transportation (BEEST) - In this topic, ARPA-E seeks to develop a new generation of ultra-high energy density, low-cost battery technologies for long electric range plug in hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles (EVs). The development of high energy, low cost batteries represents the critical barrier to wide-spread deployment of EVs, which if achieved would have a profound impact on U.S. oil security, greenhouse gas emissions, and economic growth. The ambitious goals for this program are largely based upon the aggressive long-term EV battery goals set forth by the United States Advanced Battery Consortium, a public-private collaboration between the U.S. Department of Energy and leading U.S. automotive companies. If successful, new battery technologies developed under this program will give electrified light-duty vehicles range, performance, lifetime, and cost required to shift transportation energy from oil to the domestically powered U.S. electric grid. ARPA-E's objective is to fund high-risk, high reward research efforts that will promote leadership in this emerging EV battery market. Full Applications must be received by ARPA-E by March 15, 2010, no later than 5:00PM Eastern Time.
