We are going to have to talk about battery storage and the Moss Landing fire. The fire was located to the Vistra Storage facility within a building that was formerly a natural gas generation unit. Tesla has a storage facility nearby, but not within the same building. You know I … [continued]
Electric vehicle sales keep growing, and quite fast. Year over year, gas car sales have been going down and electric car sales have been going up. The transition is underway. But there are periods of faster growth and periods of slower growth. When growth is slower than expected, that can … [continued]
A little while ago, the great CleanTechnica editor and famous man around what Steve Hanley calls the gold-plated CleanTechnica water cooler, Zach Shahan, mused, “I remember the Tesla fans trashing LFP battery chemistry! I could go on and on about how it was ridiculed and how Tesla fans claimed you … [continued]
A plant-based domestic supply chain for nickel-based EV batteries is emerging in the US, and the Department of Energy is here for it.
The new Goliath prototype solid state battery from Ilika has passed a crucial safety test with flying colors, setting it up for the next-generation EV market of the future.
Battery backup systems like Anker's home energy storage module allow the power to keep flowing even after the sun goes down.
Here are seven questions about residential storage batteries you need answers to before you have one installed in your home.

Altilium, a UK-based clean technology group focused on supporting the transition to net zero, has announced details of the latest advances in its innovative EcoCathode™ hydrometallurgical recycling technology, with breakthroughs in the recovery of lithium from new battery chemistries and the production of cathode active materials (CAM) from a mixed … [continued]
In an old World War II training film, the United States military tried to teach marines and soldiers how to avoid getting killed when fighting Imperial Japan. Instead of telling them what to do, they use the device of a captured Japanese fighter to explain why people get killed. Obviously, … [continued]
Single-crystal structures for cathode materials (left) are juxtaposed with an agglomerated polycrystal structure (right).
A new nickel-rich, single-crystal battery technology is on track for rapid deployment A seemingly simple shift in lithium-ion battery manufacturing could pay big dividends, improving electric vehicles’ (EV) ability to store more energy per charge and to withstand more charging cycles, according to new research led by the Department of … [continued]
