We report on progress in conceptual development of the proposed high luminosity (up to 1035/cm2s) and efficient spin manipulation (using figure 8 boosters and collider rings) Electron-Ion Collider at CEBAF based on use of polarized 5-7 GeV electrons in superconduction energy recovering linac (ERL with circulator ring, kicker-operated) and 30-150 GeV ion storage ring (polarized p, d. He3, Li and unpolarized nuclei up to Ar, all totally stripped). Ultra-high luminosity is envisioned to be achievable with short ion bunches and crab-crossing at 1.5 GHz bunch collision rate interaction points. Our recent studies concentrated on simulation of beam-beam interaction, preventing the electron cloud instability, calculating luminosity lifetime due to Touschek effect in ion beam and background scattering of ions, experiments on energy recovery at CEBAF, and other. These studies have been incorporated in the development of the luminosity calculator and in formulating minimum requirements to the polarized electron and ion sources
