Jackery just launched the Explorer 100D portable power station. This is Jackery’s smallest battery, giving a new level of versatility to power many of the devices people rely on most. Meanwhile, it integrates the durability and safety people expect from Jackery’s larger models into a compact case. The Explorer 100D … [continued]
Utility-scale solar developers are increasingly co-locating battery storage with new solar photovoltaic capacity. As of September 2026, over 16% of new utility-scale solar capacity added this year is co-located with operable battery storage, compared with 2% in 2017, according to data reported to EIA by operators. Reported plans for solar … [continued]
I have been using the Jackery HomePower 1000 Plus v2 in a wide range of applications over the past few months around my apartment in Queens, NY. The flexibility and portability make it especially useful for people living in apartments. I had previously written about the Jackery HomePower 1000 Plus … [continued]
Two approaches to reducing drag: an Artemis Pioneer demonstrator photograph and an illustration of an air-cavity electric workboat. Different vessel roles.
Hydrofoils have an obvious appeal. Lift a boat’s hull clear of the water, reduce drag and move passengers faster while consuming less energy. I’ve written before about the proposed electric hydrofoil ferry between Vancouver, Bowen Island and Gibsons, where floating logs, coastal conditions and uncertain passenger demand make the economics … [continued]
Ireland’s Naas substation shows why flexible batteries and loads must match the location, timing and operating conditions of grid constraints.
Despite Trump’s war on EVs, the US Department of Energy has launched the new “BattMan” battery innovation accelerator led by experts at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
Ahead of the Circular Economy Act, a joint letter from T&E, Recharge, Clean Tech for Europe and EIES calls for concrete measures to support the effective scaling of Europe’s material recovery and recycling capacity. Recovering materials from end-of-life batteries is a key means to secure much needed critical minerals (CRMs) … [continued]
Reliable, affordable electricity is essential for many of the products and services that underpin the modern economy. But the sources of that electricity—and their respective merits and risks—are increasingly the subject of debate and polarization. A flood of narratives and counternarratives is rising in the media and public conversation about … [continued]
China spent much of the 2010s electrifying urban bus fleets while most countries were still testing whether battery-electric buses could replace diesel. By the end of 2025, it had 551,400 new-energy urban buses, representing 87.5% of the fleet. That early success has brought China to a stage other countries will … [continued]
The new energy reality: 1 kWh of battery is cheaper than a barrel of oil The EU is fiercely debating the future of the automotive industry and how far the transition to battery electric cars will be slowed down. Last time we had this debate back in 2022, Europe was … [continued]
