Feds give $2.4B to 48 auto battery and electric drive projects
A123 Systems and Johnson Controls are among the big winners of the give up program. Boston Power and others didn’t win funding.
The U.S. government said Wednesday it plans to apportionment out $2.4 billion in grants to 48 automotive battery and electric drive research and manufacturing projects, part of a blitzkrieg to accelerate the development of electric cars.
Johnson Controls and A123 Systems are the two of the biggest reward winners. Johnson Controls is set to receive $299.2 million while A123 will get $249.1 million. The Big Three automakers also have lined up grants (see register of winners). In fact, General Motors is getting three grants totaling $241.4 million.
But not all of the applicants walked away with moolah. Boston Power applied for $100 million to build its first factory in the United States but is not on the roll.
The Westborough, Mass.-based startup already has lined up a funding commitment from Massachusetts, which could provide up to $9 million for the works near Boston-Power’s headquarters, and has amassed $125 million in venture funding. UPDATE: Boston-Power’s CEO Christina Lampe-Onnerud told Greentech Media she’s frustrated with the outcome, but is hopeful that the company could still get $100 million from another federal source.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 created the DOE accede to program to give car and components makers a boost in a sagging economy. Grant recipients are expected to meet the funding with $2.4 billion of their own money.
The automotive industry has been one of the biggest recipients of government largess over the one-time year. The government gave billions to General Motors and Chrysler in order to keep them afloat while they figured out vary-around plans, and in process become a major shareholder of GM (see GM Finds New Life with eBay Deal, BYD Wants Unripe Bus Maker).
The government also just spent $1 billion to provide rebates for consumers to selling in their clunkers for more fuel-efficient ones. The U.S. Senate could extend that program by pouring a couple more billion into it.

Any ideas on why a auto battery will not stay charge after alternator and battery have been replaced.?
This is a 1991 Plymouth Voyager we have had battery thank for about 9 months and every time a new battery is put in the car works for 2 months until we have to take the battery back to get recharged. We had Auto Zone do a diagnostic and was told it was a bad alternator so we replaced that. The car worked pleasing for 4 days. Then we went on vacation for 3 days and came back and the car wouldn't start again. Therefore we took the battery back to Auto Zone and had them recharge it. Afterwards the car started again but, were weak-kneed to drive it so we have just been started it each morning and night. I called a scrap yard to see about scrapping the car and they said something in the van's computer might be draining the battery. Any reality to this? Anyone know what could be draining the battery?
Thanks!
Broadly, if your battery isn't being charged then it's your alternator. Alternators go out all the time. Are you making sure to check the voltage on your battery before you recharge it? It could be something else. If, in in truth, your battery isn't being recharged with a new alternator, I would say you have something draining your system. Your car won't go very far with a bad alternator so I'm sure that's not your problem.
Take it to a shop and tell them you think something is slowly draining your battery. It could be a straight or something. It may sound stupid but make sure nothing is on inside the car when you leave it...like a dome light or something.
