Pavan Kumar – 11/26/08,

97% of Transportation dependent on gasoline

60% is imported oil Release 2000 metric tonnes Less than 3% of the proven world reserves

Solution?

Possible Technical Issues Horsepower Range Battery Life Efficiency

Instanst Charge/DischargeNO heat or Chemical RXNNo OverchargingLong LifetimeOperating Temp is -50C to 100CNo Harzardous Waste

More Power!Reduced Battery Size – Design and

cost Regenerative BrakingGreater Efficiency – 14%Load Leveling – absorb power during

surges and discharge during dips

1. Energy Density – Stand alone ultracap systems not possible

Cost – Can be 10x the cost of Batteries

Graphene

Graphene has a surface area of 2,630 square meters, almost the area of a football field, per gram of material
