Alakaʻi ʻia e Kauka Keke, ka mea hoʻokele ma hope o ka hui ʻo Kenergy New Energy, ua hoʻomaka kā mākou huakaʻi mai nā ʻoihana hanohano: Ke Kulanui o Peking, ke Kulanui o Tokyo, Tokyo Institute of Technology, a me Toyota Central Research Institute. Hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻia ka loea i nā kumu mana kemika, nā supercapacitors spanning, nā pākahi lithium-ion, a me nā wahie. Me kahi kokoke i ʻekolu mau makahiki o ka ʻike, ʻo Kauka Keke kahi loea loea.
ʻO kā mākou hele ʻana i mua o ka ikehu hou: ʻo ka Lithium Battery Research Institute—he ākea ākea, mau kaukani mika square. ʻO ka male ʻana i nā mea noiʻi pākahi lithium-ion ʻokiʻoki me nā laina hana hoʻokele a me waena. ʻOi aku ma mua o 100 mau mea hana kiʻekiʻe, me nā mīkini hoʻopuehu, nā keʻena hoʻomaloʻo, nā welders laser, nā mea hoʻokalakupua Coulombic. ʻO ka hana hou a me ka paʻa hana nui; ka pane ʻana i nā hana, ka manaʻo o nā mea kūʻai aku.
Ke holomua nei kahi hui noiʻi hoʻolaʻa ma ka Research Institute—ma luna o 40 ikaika. Me 2 Kepani loea, 6 PhDs, 8 haku puka puka. ʻO ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i ka hana hou, ʻo ka ʻimi patent ko lākou hōʻailona. Ma luna o 30 mau noi, 12 i hāʻawi ʻia, e hōʻike ana i ka paʻa paʻa ʻole a me nā hoʻokō. "
