New silicon oxycarbide glass/graphene anode material; lightweight, high-capacity and long cycle life
Researchers at Kansas State University have developed a new high-performance Li-ion battery anode material combining silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) glass and graphene. The self-standing (i.e., no current collector or binder) anode material comprises molecular precursor-derived SiOC glass particles em...
H2/fuel cell/catalysts merit(s)ed university research, but Bush-type H2 oil/auto 'initiatives' were obvious defraud-the-taxpayer stunts.
Today's materials breakthroughs and super computer simulations into nano scale are now enabling/visualizing so much technology, especially in the energy and genetic technology fields.
It's as if the 1800s automobile engineers were initially blind and then the twentieth century provided enough science to see.
Hyundai Motor powers world’s first hydrogen fuel cell vehicle car-sharing service
Zero-emission car sharing service BeeZero, run by a newly founded subsidiary of The Linde Group, will feature 50 Hyundai ix35 Fuel Cell electric vehicles for public use. BeeZero, which will launch in Munich this summer, will be the first car sharing service using hydrogen fuel cell cars. The ...
"In his 2003 State of the Union address, Bush proposed spending $1.2 billion to develop hydrogen-powered automobiles."
"The Bush administration spent more than $500 million on research into producing and distributing hydrogen so it could be used in cars powered by fuel cells."
http://www.treehugger.com/cars/obama-kills-hydrogen-car-funding.html
Now multiply the 8 Bush II 'H2 Initiative' years by 5, note that the $billions wasted didn't:
change what NASA knew about fuel cell expense from 1970's space research
didn't save GM from going belly up and STILL stealing $billions in tax credits(GM 2015 US tax = $0)
again results in ~no mass market sales(sharing) - this time Europe thankfully

Researchers develop all-weather solar cell that generates power from rain as well as from sun
While many technical advances have made solar cells more efficient and affordable, a disadvantage remains in the fact that solar cells produce no power when it’s raining. Now, however, researchers from the Ocean University of China (Qingdao) and Yunnan Normal University (Kunming, China) have dev...
"The eAxle can improve 0-100 km/h acceleration times by several seconds, provide a useable pure electric range and reduce a vehicle’s CO2 emission rating to less than 50 g/km, the company said."

So, any EV that's solar charged gets:
1 - the car surcharge dropped
2 - an equal refund for electric/CO2 generation not reguired..
3 - a many-fold refund for healthcare costs NOT inflected byelectric/CO2 generation ..
RIGHT?
Singapore considers Model S EV a high carbon emission vehicle based on fuel consumption and upstream power generation
Channel NewsAsia recently reported on the case of a Tesla Model S owner in Singapore who, rather than receiving the Carbon Emissions-based Vehicle Scheme (CEVS) rebate he expected of S$15,000 (US$10,841) was hit with a CEVS surcharge of S$15,000 for having high carbon emissions. Under Singapor...

It's nice to quote replacement 'crate' ICE prices, but the installation labor, scores of mechanical/electrical/hydraulic/air/exhaust/.. parts multiply the replacement price.
I actually owned a 2000 Hyundai Elantra, 30,000 miles, with a two inch hole in the oil pan.
-NO one would attempt welding/brazing the pan in engine fumes
-Body bracing blocked replacing the pan in-place
.. soo, my option was to pull/fix pan/reinstall the engine - with a quote of several times the cat 'Blue Book' worth.
Thank God for J&B welding epoxy(solid for over 50,000 mile until traded[perhaps still])
..think replacing EV battery/bolt-in motor..

5-5-5 is the stated JCESR goal since budget approved day ONE.

Anyone w/ a couple square meters of open, south-facing area can:
- buy a 250 watt solar panel for under $250
- buy a 250 watt grid-tie inverter for under $100 (ex: http://www.amazon.com/Power-Inverter-Converter-Solar-10-8v-30v/dp/B004TVEF8Y )
- buy a Kill-A-Watt meter and wire/solar cord for under $50
angle the panel at ~45 degrees with 2 by 4s, connect the +/- panel terminals to the grid inverter, plug the grid inverter into the Kill-A-Watt meter and the meter into a 120 VAC wall plug.
One will save over a 1,000 watt hour(1 kwh) per clear day, accumulated on the Kill-A-Watt meter reading.
The electric bill will be smaller and as the years pass one notices how reliable 'no moving parts' solar power really is.
The fun part is when electricity home use is low, one can watch the analog utility meter TURN BACKWARDS.
Opinion: Why Buffett Bet A Billion On Solar: Miles Per Acre Per Year
by Henry Hewitt for Oilprice.com During the late innings of the ICE-age (as in the Internal Combustion Engine age) it has become clear that feeding gasoline and diesel to the next billion new cars is not going to be easy, or cheap. In China alone, 500 million new vehicles can be expected to jam ...
America averages TWICE the solar radiance of Germany, yet Germany profits from solar.
Many of the expensive early 2000's German solar(and wind) installations have paid for themselves - meaning nearly free energy for future generations.
Not only will STEM-weak(or lazy or misled) Americans try to compete with those cheaper energy costs, but also a technical society of world-class scientists, engineers, and technicians with a generation of renewable energy experience in their very homes.
Fortunately, America has a dozen years of the Bush Hydrogen Initiative with its deep fuel cell vehicle infrastructure.

"..The plaintiffs maintained that ZEV rules amounted to a regulation of fuel economy .. On October 9, 2002, the Bush Administration, in an unusual move, joined the lawsuit, filing an amicus (friend of the court) brief, claiming that the state, by regulating emissions, was trying to set a gasoline mileage standard, which" only the federal government can do." -- http://www.pbs.org/now/science/caautoemissions2.html
https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/08/28/obama-administration-finalizes-historic-545-mpg-fuel-efficiency-standard -- again, foreign auto makers, like Toyota, usually meet the US/Obama oil saving/pollution reduction EPA standards before past/future US bankrupts.
