Stellantis and CATL recently announced a strategic agreement for a joint venture that could see up to €4.1 billion invested in the construction of a large-scale European lithium iron phosphate battery plant. The facility, which they say will be constructed in multiple phases in Zaragoza, Spain, is intended to eventually … [continued]
The Lancaster, Ohio expansion milestone is the result of a collaborative effort between the engineering team, operations group and all their partners.
A Cirba Solutions battery recycling and materials recovery facility in Lancaster, Ohio, will create battery-grade metal sulfates and lithium carbonate once it’s up and running. These will then become the raw materials for cathode active materials (pCAM) and cathode active materials (CAM) for batteries. The expansion of the site has … [continued]
Northvolt has completed a restructuring plan that will lead to significant layoffs while it seeks a new path forward.
While the purported slowdown in demand for EVs seems to find automakers halting or slowing their original electrification plans, EVs have actually reached 20% of global auto sales. That number is expected to increase exponentially, and so will EV jobs numbers. In fact, by 2035, EVs could potentially account for … [continued]
Morrow Batteries will begin making LFP batteries at scale in a new factory in Norway by the end of this year.
From Energy has chosen Maine as the site of its first large-scale grid storage installation with a capacity of 85 MW and 8500 MWh.
The EV revolution has come to Thailand, thanks to China’s policy to push exports of electric cars worldwide.
New competence centre for development of innovative, high-performance battery cells and new manufacturing processes Ola Källenius: “Our goal is to reduce battery costs by more than 30 percent in the coming years” In 2024, Mercedes-Benz will invest 14 billion euros in research and development and in its plants – a … [continued]
Northvolt and Volvo are both encountering headwinds that may delay their electric car battery and manufacturing plans.
1,200 GWh per year of battery cells would be enough cells for at least 12 million new EVs annually. Argonne National Laboratory projects that battery cell production in North America will exceed 1,200 GWh of capacity by 2030. That is enough to supply 12 to 15 million new EVs annually … [continued]
