New Solid-State EV Battery Just Tip Of Energy Storage Iceberg
The short and long of next-generation energy storage are represented by a new solid-state EV battery and a gravity-based system.

New York City Gets 500kW Charging Stations
In a move that Reuters perhaps wrongly called the “fastest EV charger in US,” Gravity Mobility opened up some 500kW chargers to other companies in New York City. While not technically the fastest ever (they may only tie for first place), it’s still a big move that signals that the kilowatt … [continued]
Gravity Energy Storage Has A Secret Weapon Up Its Sleeve
As Europe scrambles away from Russian natural gas, Romania’s abandoned mines could lend a hand with gravity energy storage systems.
An Electric Train That Never Needs Charging? It’s Real!
As our own Jennifer Sensiba recently pointed out, “There Ain’t No Such Thing As A Free Lunch” is an established economic principle— but it’s also a pretty well established principle in physics, too. Basically, you can’t get something for nothing, and there’s no such thing as free lunch energy. Or … [continued]
“Believe In Climate Change” The Way You Believe In Gravity
Most people don’t understand most of global warming or climate change and that’s okay. They just have to accept the science just as they do for gravity, GPS and airplanes.
Solar Power In Movies
Originally published on Mosaic. By John Steller. From sci-fi to drama and adventure, movies capture our attention and spur imagination like no other medium. In recent years, as the solar industry has grabbed our attention with increasing efficiency and every-lowering prices, the movie industry has also taken notice of this … [continued]
Gravity Energy Storage For The Electricity Grid
We have all heard of the saying “what goes up, must come down.” This rule of gravity is an important part of so many systems, and it can also be a nuisance sometimes. However, why not put it to more use? Gravity energy storage for the electricity grid involves using … [continued]
