Envia uses nano silicon-carbon composite anodes and manganese composite cathodes to create high energy density batteries for electric vehicle. The company claimed that its technology for high energy density, low cost lithium-ion batteries will deliver the high performance necessary for energy storage in electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.
The DOE and CEC grants support Envia’s commitment to develop advanced battery technology, that will help to revitalize the automotive industry by enabling more fuel efficient vehicles, reducing dependence on oil, and increasing energy security, the company said.
Envia added that its battery technologies will also offer benefits to other technology applications where low-cost, high-density energy storage systems are needed.
Subhash Dhar, chairman and CEO of Envia Systems, said: “We are very pleased to receive grants from the Department of Energy and California Energy Commission as it reinforces the strength and importance of Envia’s technology.
”Just as these grants were created to drive advancements in energy that will transform the global landscape, Envia’s breakthrough battery systems will revolutionize the highest-density energy Lithium-ion storage technology.”
