The United States Advanced Battery Consortium LLC (USABC), a subsidiary of the United States Council for Automotive Research LLC (USCAR), and a collaborative organization of FCA US LLC, Ford Motor Company and General Motors, has issued a ‘Beyond Lithium-Ion’ request for proposal information (RFPI) for development of a lithium electrode based cell and manufacturing for automotive traction applications.

The primary objective of this RFPI is to identify developers having lithium electrode technologies meeting the USABC goals for lithium-based cell and/or lithium electrode manufacturing set forth in the full USABC RFPI document: https://uscar.org/commands/files_download.php?files_id=504. Respondents may either reply towards the lithium-based cell goals, lithium electrode manufacturing goals or both. If a developer has a cell technology that is not based on lithium electrodes but can still meet the aforementioned goals, USABC would welcome proposals based on the developer’s technology.

USABC seeks industrial-scale development consistent with intended high-volume automotive usage, supported by a detailed cost model for the lithium-based cell and/or lithium electrode manufacturing, respectively.

All developers or development teams submitting proposals will be required to demonstrate that they have the potential to develop a commercially viable business, which can produce sufficient volumes, and provide engineering and testing support, to meet automotive requirements.

Research organizations with current, direct affiliations with businesses that derive a majority of their income from related product sales will also be considered.

At the time of submittal, all developers will be required to have demonstration hardware and test results available for USABC inspection. Resulting contracts will include a 50 percent minimum cost share.

The deadline for submission is March 20, 2020.
