Title: Design considerations for a lithium-aluminum/iron sulfide electric vehicle battery

Conference · · Proc., Intersoc. Energy Convers. Eng. Conf.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5560651

A study on battery-vehicle design interactions was performed jointly by Argonne National Laboratory and Toyota Motor Company. A Toyota Carina converted to electric drive was used to model the performance of an electric vehicle (EV) powered by a lithium-aluminum/iron sulfide battery. Energy and power requirements for the EV were calculated, based upon achieving a range of 120 or 200 km with acceleration requirements typical of today's internal-combustion automobiles. Cell modeling analysis was employed to relate the battery power/energy, P/E (h/sup -1/), to its specific energy. Battery weights and volumes were derived for the required conditions.
