Abstract
The Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) advances high-potential, high-impact energy technologies that are too early for private sector investment. ARPA-E awardees are unique because they are developing disruptive and transformational energy technologies.
Under the ARPA-E umbrella, the currently active “Electric Vehicles for American Low-carbon Living” (EVs4ALL) program aims to increase EV market share by developing next-generation battery technologies to significantly improve EV affordability, convenience, reliability, and safety.
This seminar brings the ARPA-E EVs4ALL program to the ECS Detroit Section and anyone interested in learning about it.
