An extensive review of batteries under development for electric vehicles (EVs) has been made for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) as part of the Advanced Vehicle (AV) study at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). This study has emphasized, but has not been limited to, batteries under development by the DOE. An analysis of the battery reviews has caused a rethinking of what characteristics should be optimized for EV applications. The AV study includes two general types of passenger vehicles, and the basic criteria for the analysis are the performance requirements and use pattern for each. The first type is the general-purpose car with no implied range restrictions and the second is the restricted-use car, exemplified by a commuter car. The batteries reviewed are two metal-air batteries, aluminum-air and iron-air; two high-temperature batteries, lithium-iron sulfide and sodium-sulfur; two flow batteries, zinc-chlorine and zinc-bromine; plus lead-acid, nickel-iron, and nickel-zinc. Many specific characteristics of all the batteries are tabulated and, in most cases, projected values are shown for the fully developed battery. The characteristics given are those of energy, power, and cost, and how they relate to the size parameters of weight and volume.
