Welcome to the official Web page of the U.S. Advanced Battery Consortium (USABC) LLC.

Mission

To develop electrochemical energy storage technologies which support next generation electrified vehicle applications.

Strategic Vision:

The USABC seeks to direct domestic electrochemical energy storage (EES) R&D relevant to the automotive industry through a consortium that engages automobile manufacturers, EES manufacturers, the Department of Energy, national laboratories, universities, and other stakeholders.

• Develop advanced battery cell and system technologies to meet next generation performance and cost goals for electrified automotive applications. 
• Develop materials, sub-systems, manufacturing and recycling technologies to support advanced battery systems for electrified vehicle applications. 
• Conduct benchmarking activities for state-of-the-art batteries and ultracapacitors. 
• Publish technical goals and associated test procedures to guide the development of electrochemical energy storage systems. 
• Proactively identify challenges and barriers that must be overcome for EES technologies to meet future needs of the automotive industry, and strive to promote targeted R&D to address. Examples can be found at: http://www.uscar.org/guest/article_view.php?articles_id=87
