"Envision Solar's latest product, the EV ARC™, is a cost-effective, easy-to-install, standalone solar charging station that requires no foundation, no trenching, no building permit and no grid connection. One of the main prerequisites to mass adoption of EVs is having a sufficient number of charging stations. EV ARC™ captures and stores up to 22.5 kWh per day of power in each integrated unit, sufficient to charge one electric vehicle each day."

It looks like the version with battery storage built into the base is shown around the 2:40 mark. I'm not sure how to convert 22.5 kWh per day into a pbc equivalent. Would it be around 40?]]> Tue, 02 Apr 2013 01:06:39 -0400

BMW Group and Toyota Motor Corporation sign
cooperation agreement
The BMW Group and the Toyota Motor Corporation
(TMC) continue to work together in the field of sustainable
mobility. The two entities signed a contract at the
end of January 2013 with respect to cooperation in
the fields of fuel cells, lightweight-construction technologies
and the development of sports cars.
The BMW Group and TMC also signed an agreement on
the joint research of lithium-air batteries, a post-lithium
battery technology. With the signing of this agreement,
the joint research on the next generation of lithium-ion batteries initiated in March 2012 has now entered the
second phase.]]> Tue, 19 Mar 2013 10:06:08 -0400

I am a long time lurker/shareholder and first time poster. I would like to thank Mr. Petersen and others for their informative posts about Axion and the battery industry in general.

I would also like to get the forums thoughts on the likelihood that Axion would be acquired at some point.

If JCI or another large manufacturer felt the PbC was destined to be as disruptive of a technology as what we're seeing in the white papers and what is being discussed on this board, why wouldn't they be interested in owning that technology?

We know they're aware of it. Are they waiting for the PbC to be fully validated by the customers first? Or are there reasons why that would not want to own it that I'm missing?

I found this 2007 transcript quote from Mr. Granville suggesting that being acquired was a likely future scenario for the company.

"we may license at some point in time, but certainly I think the battery companies in the future will be looking to acquire Axion."

I know a lot of things have changed since 2007, especially with the financial markets, but I would still think it is a very possible outcome.

At what point would a competitor want to step in and at what price would Axion's board be willing to sell?

I'm curious to hear other's thoughts on this topic since its not one I've seen discussed very often on this board. I'm not really looking for speculation about specific companies but more possible business situations that may play out in the future if/when the PbC starts to get some more traction in the market.]]> Tue, 27 Dec 2011 13:32:30 -0500
