3. Nearly 100% of energy consumed in the US transportation sector is from petroleum, more than 60% of which is imported
4. Limited penetration of renewables on the grid due to difficulty in dispatching intermittent resources like wind and solarUS transportation sector 27 Quadrillion BTU’s US electric grid 38 Quadrillion BTU’s Worldwide demand Natural Gas Quadrillion BTU’s Petroleum (domestic) Nuclear Petroleum (imports) Coal Renewables
10. Grid:novel electrolytes, robust flow battery and flywheel designs to reduce installed storage costs to $100/kWh with >90% round-trip efficiency and 10-year life
Most of the existing renewable portfolio on the grid comes from fully developed hydroelectric, which is limited by geography
100-mile range is from test-driven performance of Nissan Leaf; 300-mile range is for near parity with gasoline-powered ICE.$100/kWh is from DOE ARPA-E target
