In June 2009, IBM announced the battery box as an important topic for future research and policy development to promote actively. Why should we set foot in the field of battery IBM? Unlock the key to this mystery lies in the United States national conditions. The United States currently have high expectations for the battery. Obama said the U.S. president as “the U.S. recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA: AmericanRecoveryAndReinvestmentAct)” located in energy-related policies will be allocated a large budget. In which the amount of greater concern because of the budget, and the electrification of the automobile and management of power network upgrade.
Electric-oriented in order to promote ways that you can travel a certain distance from the electrical outlet in hybrid and electric cars popularity, the U.S. government will produce electric vehicles, car manufacturers, battery manufacturers and manufacturers materials to provide 2.4 billion U.S. dollars and other funding. On the other hand, the grid will be upgraded to provide 11 billion dollars funded, but it is estimated that for the absorption of renewable energy for the movement of the drum up funding.
Currently, the United States has placed on the creation of electric vehicles using lithium-ion battery production base of batteries. General Motors (GM) has announced its intention to set up factory battery (battery unit consists of supply LGChem), Nissan Motor has announced it will establish basic electric car battery manufacturing, and so on.
In future, more high-performance power storage devices, demand will increasingly be no doubt, it focuses on the situation, with many companies, represented by IBM was an active part of better performance than the current “post-lithium ion battery” in development.
