Valence Wants in on the Li-Ion Game In a Big Way
Valence Technologies has applied for a $608 million low-interest loan from the Department of Energy under the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Incentive Program to expand operations so they can provide many more batteries than they do now.
Southern California Edison’s 180,000 Mile Li-Ion Battery

One of the things that holds back electric car production and main stream acceptance is the life span of the average battery, be it lithium-ion, nickel-metal hydride, or standard lead acid. Since the bank of batteries in an electric vehicle amount to up to half it’s cost, this is obviously a large economic concern.
