  German automakers are better hurry now to be in time for the electric cars to take the market by storm. GM looks like has bought a ticket into the future breakthrough Lithium Battery technology with Envia news about its wonder battery with 400 Wh/kg Energy Density and the cost dropping to $125 per kWh. Envia talks about 300 miles range for electric cars in sight now and GM is backing the company in its research. 

  DBM Energy has been lost in translation recently - before German start up has announced ground breaking claims about the range and cost for its Kolibri Lithium Battery. Will this technology appear somewhere in the German cars now? 

   Renault Zoe 2014 reported could have 220 miles range and this has not been confirmed by the company yet, but by all means looks feasible now. Tesla CEO Elon Musk is adding fire to the sector with his own claims about the cost of Lithium Batteries dropping below $200 per kWh in the nearest future. With Oil prices pushing Gas prices higher by the day, interest to Electric cars and Hybrids is reported to be growing now and these breakthroughs in lithium battery technology will make Electric Cars  for all very soon.

Lithium Game Changer: GigaOm: A battery breakthrough that could bring electric cars to the masses

"After last week's "Bricking Out" outcry about Tesla Roadster batteries, Electric Cars developers strike back with the new lithium batteries technology breakthrough! Envia Systems claims the new lithium battery technology with Energy Density of 400 Wh/kg and cost of $125 per 1 kWh. Envia Systems joins German DBM Energy, which has been lost in translation recently with its wonder Kolibri Lithium Battery and confirms Elon Musk with his call on cost of Lithium Batteries dropping below $200 per 1 kWh soon. Now, even rumors about all electric Renault Zoe 2014 with 220 miles range could be more credible.

  Our Lithium developers are waiting for this technology confirmation to break out from the consolidation stage now.
   It looks like Warren Buffet will be right on the money again with his call on Electric Cars!"

  We can only guess that Toyota is talking about something similar to Lithium Metal Polymer Battery like the one developed by the DBM Energy from Germany. DBM Energy story in this light is getting even more intriguing - will they manage to survive on its own now and show the commercial roll out of  the wonder battery?

  Suggested cost of the batteries to be cut "one-fifth to one-tenth of the current level" will make the Electric Revolution possible overnight and the chart below will the reminder of the real power of technological progress in this case, when all our estimations will be proven to be too conservative.

The Chosunilbo:

Toyota Develops New Electric Car Battery

Toyota Motor has developed a secondary electric car battery that can last up to 1,000 km per charge, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported Monday. That is five times the energy storage capacity of existing batteries.

Toyota came up with the prototype in collaboration with the Tokyo Institute of Technology and the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization. The new battery is based on a solid core and its simplified structure means it does not require fire-retardant materials. It eliminates the disadvantages of lithium-ion batteries, which are based on an easily heatable and combustible liquid core.

Toyota plans to improve the battery and commercialize it sometime in 2015 to 2020, the daily added.

Japan's New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization predicted it will be possible to cut the battery production cost to one-fifth to one-tenth the current level by 2020.

Mazda has developed a new electrode material that can double battery capacity, NEC a home lithium-ion battery that can last for about 20 years, and Nissan’s Leaf electric car can run 160 km per charge.

  We are monitoring here the story with DBM Energy  - this German start up is talking about  its wonder Lithium battery: Kolibri, which can make this announcement the very low bar to beat. Question is still whether this technology will be commercially proven and on the market in the nearest future. Recently we have found some more confirmations about its potential break through in Lithium batteries performance and cost. As with all technology once the proper funding will be put in place we can expect the rapid technological advance even without the miracles promised by companies like DBM Energy.

German Scientists Plan to Halve The Cost Of Electric Vehicles

BY MICHAEL J. CORENToday

Chevy Volts currently cost upwards of $30,000, but to make EVs truly mainstream, that price has to come down. A team of German engineers is looking at every step of EV manufacturing to do just that.

German engineers are a pretty confident bunch, but then they have a right to be. Europe's manufacturing giant weathered the recession with minimal layoffs and its economy is set to grow about 3% this year. German firms are staring at an enviable backlog of orders for cars, machinery, and other precision goods. Here in the U.S., well, it's a different story.

So when a group at Germany's Karlsruhe Institute of Technology says the costs of building electric vehicle (EV) power trains and batteries could be halved by 2018, perhaps we should listen. Self-promoting as it sounds for German industry, the country is throwing big money behind the boast. The country's $273 million Competence E project will bring together 250 scientists from 25 institutes to commercialize innovations from research, delivering the missing link between government, academia, and industry for commercialization of EV technology. The project (slated to run at least through 2018) is a publicly funded research effort similar to particle accelerators and clean-room laboratories, only dedicated to building the manufacturing foundation for EVs.

“We are no longer focused on studying individual molecules or components, but on developing solutions on the system level, which meet industrial requirements,” says project head Andreas Gutsch in an interview with ScienceBusiness."We are actively approaching industry and will even intensify these efforts…We are conducting excellent research for application, not for the drawer."

KIT will develop a "research factory" that will construct and demonstrate fabrication lines for novel batteries and electric technologies. As gaps in the innovation chain narrow, researchers believe the time and money required to move innovations from lab to market will drop sharply. It bares some resemblance to the (not-yet-funded) $100 million effort to launch a Material Genome Initiative here in the U.S. that we reported on in August.

In the U.S., the Department of Energy is offering at least $175 million in grant-based funding for multiple projects, as well as other initiatives, but a coordinated cross-sector effort does not seem to be on the table.

We'll see which approach crosses the finish line first."

But company claims that the battery in this case was smaller: KOLIBRI 62.928 kWh and that it translates in 714 km range in case of previously used 98.8 kWn battery in the DBM World Record Electric Car Drive in October 2010! To put things into perspective, in case when you drive 225 km every day you will need to recharge the car equipped with this battery every other day and this battery will last 27 years.

New DBM Energy Car for the Independent Testing.

  If the previous claims about the cost of this KOLIBRI Lithium Batteries will be confirmed we have a real breakthrough in Lithium batteries technology which will make Electric Cars reality in a very short period of time. In this case German government and company is very right to hold this technology so close to the chest and it explains that we have only scarce information in the North America. Lithium Rush will be next with the new headlines with DBM Energy hitting the wires.

  Is it still too good to be true? We will continue our forensic research and will check our stocks in Lithium portfolio."

This Breakthrough Will Soon Slash EV Prices Drastically
Published Tue, Aug 30th, 2011 Justin Fritz

As you may know, President Obama announced that he wants one million electric vehicles (EVs) on the road by 2015. But thanks to tepid EV sales from the industry’s leaders – General Motors (NYSE: GM) and Nissan (TYO: 7201) – not everyone’s convinced it can happen.

As The New American reports, “Throughout July, a whopping 125 Chevy Volts were sold, making the seemingly low 281 units sold in February a groundbreaking month.”

And with sales stagnating, Reuters expects that only 667,000 units will be sold by the 2015 deadline. Sorry, Mr. President!

The problem is, most consumers can’t get over EV sticker shock.

It’s tough to blame them, too. The Volt starts at $40,280… the Nissan LEAF goes for $35,200… and Tesla Motors’ (Nasdaq: TSLA) upcoming Model S sells for $57,400.

Like The New American adds, at these prices, “car shoppers would actually save money purchasing a Mercedes-Benz C350 over a Chevy Volt.”

Luckily for EV manufacturers, though, one German company’s new technology should boost sales by cutting thousands off the steep price tags.

Here’s how…

The “Holy Grail” Of Cutting EV Costs

You see, the biggest culprit behind inflated EV prices is the battery. It adds $10,000 or so to an EVs manufacturers suggested retail price (MSRP).

What’s worse, owners need to replace the lithium-ion battery every 10 years. So the cost of ownership is a huge deterrent.

But DBM Energy’s new advanced battery – Kolibri – is constructed with a special lithium metal polymer. Early reports suggest this battery will cost 89% less than existing batteries and will only need to be replaced approximately every 20 years.

Plus, it trounces existing batteries in three other important ways…

~ Weight: A Kolibri is reportedly 29% lighter than the battery pack in a Tesla Roadster.

~ Efficiency: A Kolibri has enough power to keep an Audi (ETR: NSU) A2 cruising for an astonishing 400 miles on a single charge.

~ Charging: You can fully charge a Kolibri battery in just six minutes. The Leaf takes closer to six hours.

The potential for this new technology seems very promising and the company’s already in talks with major automakers worldwide. It foresees a mainstream rollout of its superior Kolibri battery not too far off.

Once this happens, it’s reasonable to assume that you’ll be able to buy a Nissan LEAF for around $26,300. Or $18,800 after factoring in the government tax credit. And since Toyota’s (NYSE: TM) bestselling Prius retails for $23,810, I’m convinced this new battery will ramp up EV adoption considerably.

So whether or not we reach the President’s EV goal by 2015, the market clearly has potential to catapult higher in the coming months and years. And any innovator in the space with the technology to make the transition easier on our wallets is certainly worthy of your attention.

Case in point: My colleague, Louis Basenese, spotted a key player in the space back in May. Just two months after he sent word of this game changer to members of The White Cap Report, shares blasted 25%. Check out Louis’ full analysis of the company.

Good investing,

Justin Fritz"

  News about wonder Lithium battery from German DBM Energy are sipping into the mass media place. We have our Catalyst and perfect storm for this Generational Bull in place: IEA admits that Crude Oil Peak has already happened in 2006; Shai Agassi shares economics of Oil, Auto and Electric Cars industries; and we have the new hype in the U.S.  Lithium OTC market these days. Our take is that there can be any Hype in any market without the Interest - we are close to the tipping point in Lithium market.

  Serious players are coming into the lithium space now. Gas prices are pushing consumers to the idea of Electric Cars even with just few of them which are already on our streets - more are coming. With this development from DBM Energy maybe even German automakers will wake up and for real will embrace the Electric Cars, otherwise we should wait for announcement from another Chinese company about the breakthrough in Lithium batteries technology. Chinese companies are moving into the sector with State-level support and announced target to become the leader in Lithium batteries and Electric Cars.

"International Lithium IPO: Ganfeng Lithium To Establish Subsidiary for The Production Of Lithium Ion Batteries. TNR Gold has found a very aggressive and active strategic partner in Lithium space for its International Lithium IPO. After ten years in production of Lithium materials Ganfeng Lithium is moving into the Lithium Ion Batteries production as well. Now we can see how this Chinese company is building the hole in-house  supply value chain for the Lithium Ion batteries. Company has just recently announced that it is taking the strategic stake in International Lithium IPO - spin out form TNR Gold and now we have this news about the Lithium Ion Battery company."

"Sebastian Blanco from AutoBlogGreen.com has run an article on DBM Energy and its Lithium Metal Polymer Battery in New York Times couple of days ago. Finally, this story has made it to the U.S. and in a grand fashion. Claims about the 375 mile range for an EV on a single charge - this new Lithium Battery technology can provide - are already outstanding, and we had discussed it in the great detail last year, but  now we have some pricing points to discuss and this is where this technology can be a truly disruptive one.

  According to the article mass-production cost of a 98.8 kWh version of the Lithium Metals Polymer Battery would range from 800 to 1,000 euros. Just compare it to the price of GM Volt 16 kWh battery of approximately 8,000 dollars and Nissan Leaf 24 kWh battery is at the same price level of 8,000 - 10,000 dollars. Battery cost and Range Anxiety are the two major road bumps for the mass adoption of   Electric Cars."

  Lithium cells of Kolibri Lithium battery have undergone a very rigorous tests according to this video from the website of German Ministry For The Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety.

"Press Release

01.04.2011

KOLIBRI technology is safety inspections and performance tests!

KOLIBRI batteries (lithium-polymer-based technology) are extensive safety tests.

Independent range-check confirms The performance and endurance of the KOLIBRI batteries.

Electric vehicles for the model regions for planned in June 2011.

Berlin, Germany - 1 April 2011 - For over a year KOLIBRI batteries run by DBM Energy reliability in the application of electric commercial vehicles and logistics. In the framework of a Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology Demonstration Project was required with this innovative battery technology in October 2010 set up with an electric vehicle is a long-distance world record with over 600 km range. The endurance of the technology, let KOLIBRI apparent in 5000 charging cycles. Independent studies now confirm the safety and perform better the KOLIBRI technology.

Security

On 17 January 2011 started the BAM Federal Institute for Materials Research and examination, an extensive testing program for the audit of the safety of the novel technology of DBM KOLIBRI Energy. The recently completed studies have shown the single cells that, as a demonstration ride on 26 October 2010 KOLIBRI technology used, the necessary safety standards on air, land and water satisfied.

Basis of safety investigations is the UN for carriage of dangerous Prüfhandbuch Good. The Prüfmethoden for lithium batteries are recognized as a standard. Effort in test series was to investigate whether the KOLIBRI safe technology for extreme climate and air pressure changes, electrical Kurzschlüssen, Überladung or polarity, as well as strong mechanical influence such as vibration, shock and impact is. The cells of the DBM KOLIBRI Energy have all passed the exam.

"The tested KOLIBRI cells are characterized by a high degree of technical safety," Prof. Dr. Schroder erläutert the results of several repeated tests. All in the UN Prüfserie requirements could meet KOLIBRI cells. The cells were not leaky at the appropriate tests have not been warmed above 170 degrees Celsius, not broken or inflamed, and held more than 90 percent of the voltage.

Addition to the UN Prüfkriterien KOLIBRI the cells were examined for Brandgefährlichkeit. In the underfiring turned out to the cells as KOLIBRI explosion proof and not an accelerant. Conclusion of Prof. Dr. Schroder, of the BAM: "Overall, we can and estimate that the cells KOLIBRI the safety requirements that must be made with such technology, fully satisfy."

Perform better

Supplement to the safety testing of the BAM Keith Tynes was invited by the DEKRA in its Test Center in Klettwitz € Lausitz on one independent range test. In the period from 14 to 18 March 2011 KOLIBRI checked up the technology of the DBM Energy was to perform better and their endurance. Basis for the determination of the range KOLIBRI battery system in the Audi A2 was Versuchsträger the legally valid ECE

The examination, were carried out on systems that meet the requirements of the Prüfgrundlage. In determining the Prüfdaten before starting the test was the vehicle weight - empty weight without driver - below the permissible maximum mass of 1,500 kg. The maximum electrical work of the battery was KOLIBRI 62.928 kWh. In comparison, the battery capacity was the world record attempt in October 2010 was 98.8 kWh. Declared objective of the National Platform is a secure Elektromobilität range of 300 km on one battery charge in 2015. A demonstration project with the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi) showed that this range can be reached now. For this range is the low battery capacity sufficient demonstration.

All necessary for the TEST RESULTS KOLIBRI technology could be demonstrated by DEKRA. This includes loading and unloading of the battery, determining the driving resistance and the maximum speed and technical examination of the general safety of the vehicle. Despite the smaller battery capacity, the newly built electric car made it to the Rollenprüfstand to ECE-R 101 a distance of 454.82 kilometers. This appraisal of the efficiency KOLIBRI battery was 97 percent. Applied to the used battery capacity at the world record of 98.8 kWh, this represents a mileage of 714 km.

The test vehicle with the battery is KOLIBRI of the time 4 to 8 April 2011 on the status of the BMWi, Hall 2, at the Hanover Industrial Fair issued.

Controversial world record-electric car passes test

2011-04-01 | The authors of the controversial world record for electric cars Energy DBM look for an official review of doubts about the safety and reliability of its lithium-polymer battery made ​​from the world. had become necessary the check by the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM), after concerns were raised concerning the in October last year performed more than 600-kilometer ride on a single charge. Models 150 kilometer range. After the record-breaking car was burnt in December in a Berlin warehouse in suspicious circumstances on the basis of an Audi A2, the Federal Economics Ministry had requested such a review.

"The Hummingbird tested cells are characterized by a high degree of technical security", is now cited the BAM experts in a press release DBM Energy. Moreover, the car had a confirmed Dekra on the dynamometer performed range test its long-distance comfort with a score of just over 454 miles at a lower battery capacity. Daily tests are still pending. The operator wants to test his car in June of this year now on."
