This document summarizes the progress of VTO battery R&D projects supported during the fiscal year 2018 (FY 2018). In FY 2018, the DOE VTO battery R&D funding was approximately $101 million. Its R&D focus was on the development of high-energy batteries for PEVs and very high-power devices for hybrid vehicles. The electrochemical energy storage roadmap describes ongoing and planned efforts to develop electrochemical storage technologies for PEVs. To advance battery technology to improve the market penetration of PEVs and hybrid vehicles, the program focuses on overcoming specific technical barriers typically related to the battery’s cost, performance, life (both calendar life and cycle life), its tolerance to abusive conditions, and its recyclability/sustainability. Various battery chemistries are being investigated with that aim.
