Today, ARPA-E announced $36 million in funding for 22 new projects across 15 states. The projects will focus on developing transformative electric vehicle (EV) energy storage systems using innovative chemistries, architectures, and designs.
These projects are part of ARPA-E’s newest program, called Robust Affordable Next Generation Energy Storage Systems (RANGE). RANGE seeks to improve EV driving range and reduce vehicle costs by re-envisioning the total EV battery system, rather than working to increase the energy density of individual battery cells.
