The U.S. Department of Energy recently announced a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to provide awards for "cost-shared" (i.e. the award recipient must also contribute funds to the project) development and demonstration projects supporting Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles (PHEVs) capable of charging using a standard 110 volt outlet. The intent of this FOA is:
[T]o further research, develop and demonstrate light duty vehicles such as automobiles, light duty trucks, SUV’s, light trucks and vans, light heavy duty trucks, passenger vans, or any vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 10,000 lbs or less, that can achieve a cumulative electric range (before transitioning to charge sustaining mode) of at least 10 miles on the Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule (UDDS).
The U.S. Department of Energy plans to provide one to four awards, each in the range of $10 million to $30 million. This FOA has two closing dates – February 13, 2008 and April 30, 2008. For more information:

Set up: The World’s First Fuel-Saving and Pollution-Reducing Fuel Tank for Automobile and Ship and Other High Efficient Energy Economizers Project.
Xincon Hi-tech Development Corp. locates in Manhattan, New York, and the founder is Mr. Yixin Guo since 2006. Xincon Hi-tech Development Corporation is a developer of a patent pending the fuel saver by developing the applications of FRI and anion in saving the consumptions of gasoline, diesel oil, coal and gas and reducing the emission of exhaust. It includes: automobile and ship energy-saving and pollution-reducing gasoline tank and vitta project, and also boiler energy-saving and pollution-reducing project. The automobile and ship energy-saving and pollution-reducing gasoline tank and vitta project has already attained positive results in the tests conducted by EPA (United States Environment Protection Agency) listing lab on both urban and expressway.
Xincon needs to get grant for development the project.
