Some headline writers continue to write off 100% battery-electric vehicles as a passing fad, overwhelmed by a flood of hybrids and the insatiable thirst for liquid fuel. That’s just plain silly, of course. Global EV sales continue to rise. The question is how fast. Faster-charging and less expensive batteries with … [continued]
The Texas-based solid-state EV battery innovator Solidion plans on accelerating the vehicle electrification movement with new materials and a radical new battery architecture.
The quest for faster EV charging reached another milestone this month as Israeli battery maker StoreDot demonstrated its silicon-dominant EV battery technology in a prototype Polestar electric car. In the demonstration, the company was able to reach sustained charging rates of over 310 kW and peak charging rates of 370 … [continued]
Candela’s P-12 hydrofoil electric boat is on track to ply Lake Manapōuri, part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site preserved by environmental activists in New Zealand.
Silicon batteries and synthetic graphite are easing fears that new export restrictions will impact the global supply chain for EV batteries
A new extreme fast charging electric vehicle battery from StoreDot aims at 100 miles in 4 minutes, towards an ultimate goal of 3 minutes.
The Israeli electric vehicle battery startup StoreDot is laying plans for extremely fast EV charging in the US, Asian, and European markets.
StoreDot announced this week that the performance of its high energy density fast charging cells has been verified by an independent lab.
StoreDot has some of the fastest charging batteries, but it says solid-state batteries are still at least 10 years away from production.
We’ve been hearing about amazing battery designs and battery chemistries for years. Solid-state batteries that last practically forever, crazy miles added in 5-10 minutes, and even flow designs that allow for filling a battery like an ICE car at a gas station have been promised over the years, and by … [continued]
