Horizon Prize - EIC Horizon Prize for 'Innovative Batteries for eVehicles' H2020-BATTERIES-EICPRIZE-2018 Open!
Objectives
The objectives of the prize are:
- To develop a new State of the Art battery solution for electric vehicles to enable enhancement of electromobility uptake in Europe
- Contribute to CO2 and other harmful emission reduction
- Stimulate European battery and battery cell manufacturing value chain
Actions
The prize will be awarded to the entry that best addresses the following cumulative criteria.: Both primary, (non-rechargeable) and secondary, (rechargeable), battery system solutions will be evaluated.
The prize will be awarded to the entry that best addresses the following cumulative criteria. Where a criterion does not explicitly mention the battery system, this is applicable to both battery system solutions:
- Provides high standards for safety, sustainability and recyclability;
- Provides the same experience and user convenience, in terms of range and time required to recharge, as a conventional gasoline/diesel car;
- Has whole-life costs (in terms of battery materials and its functionality) equivalent or better than gasoline/diesel car;
- Demonstrates reliable power delivery without significant loss of performance for an economically acceptable life time (power delivery to be demonstrated for a life time higher than batteries currently available);
- Ensures that other performance criteria (car acceleration, safety, etc.) are maintained in comparison to a combustion engine powered vehicle,
- Demonstrates a significant advance in new material technologies while avoiding dependence on import materials (e.g. expensive, rare, and unsustainable materials)
