The Automotive Recyclers Association published a battery use hierarchy in partnership with Argonne National Laboratory The goal is to encourage and incentivize the reuse, reconditioning, remanufacturing and repurposing of batteries. The hierarchy shows the preferred path for batteries after they have served their initial purpose, from the most preferred outcome to the least preferred—represents a retention of the greatest value and energy already invested in the original battery.

Coming Soon: DOE Advancing EV Battery Manufacturing and Smart Charge Management Funder/Agency: Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE)   Opportunity Number: Notice of Intent No. DE-FOA-0003382 for DE-FOA-0003383 Description: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced an intent to fund projects that will advance research, development, demonstration, and deployment (RDD&D) in several areas critical to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the transportation sector. The potential funding will drive innovations in low-cost electric vehicle (EV) battery manufacturing, using inexpensive and abundant battery materials in support of a viable domestic materials supply chain, and conducting smart-charge management demonstrations. This potential funding is aligned with strategies detailed in the U.S. National Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization. The funding is through DOE’s Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO) in the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. Topic areas in VTO’s Fiscal Year 2024 Batteries & Electrification funding opportunity may include: Conducting wide-scale demonstrations of smart-charge management to create confidence in the technology and the ability for it to effectively utilize the flexibility that EVs provide the grid. Improving 12V lead-acid battery service life and performance requirements to meet critical safety features while reducing cost. Developing cell, module, pack, vehicle, or structural strategies that reduce cascading effects of EV fires. Conducting research & development that would reduce the manufacturing cost at the electrode, cell, and pack level by at least 30% compared to the state of the art. Researching, fabricating, and testing silicon-based lithium battery cells that meet EV battery performance requirements. Developing high energy density cathodes containing metal chalcogenide, oxide, or halide materials that surpass the energy density of state-of-the art nickel cathodes. This is a Notice of Intent (NOI) only. DOE may issue the described funding opportunity announcement (FOA), may issue a FOA that is significantly different than the described FOA, or DOE may not issue a FOA at all. https://lnkd.in/esGgDq5i   Grant Management Associates has years of experience with opportunities like this one.

🚗✨ Exciting times at EMC Fest 2024! 🎉 We had a blast connecting with familiar faces and forging new relationships at EMC Fest this week. In the ever-evolving landscape of automotive technology, staying ahead of the curve is paramount. That's why understanding EMC testing is more crucial than ever. But what exactly is Vehicle EMC testing? Imagine it as a comprehensive health check for the electronic components within vehicles. Before any cutting-edge gadgets hit the market, they undergo meticulous testing to ensure they play nicely with other electronics and can withstand electromagnetic interference (EMI) from the environment. It's akin to orchestrating a symphony, ensuring all instruments harmonize without disruption. Dive into our latest white paper, available for free download. Let us guide you through the intricacies and empower you to navigate this complex terrain with confidence. Discover more: http://spkl.io/604744rkJ Together, let's ensure the safety and reliability of tomorrow's vehicles. 🛣️ #EMCFest2024 #AutomotiveInnovation #EMCTesting #TUVSUD 🚀
