Scania and Northvolt have jointly developed a prismatic battery they claim will last as long as heavy-duty electric trucks.
Northvolt offers high-performance lithium-ion cells based around proprietary Lingonberry NMC chemistry. These are available in both cylindrical and prismatic formats. Northvolt prioritizes manufacturing batteries with clean energy, and has a mission to deliver batteries with an 80% lower carbon footprint compared to those made using coal energy and a target … [continued]
Volkswagen could get up to $10 billion in IRA benefits if it decides to build a new battery factory in the US instead of Europe.
IRA subsidies are chief threat to gigafactory plans unless Europe offers accessible incentives and streamlined permitting.
It’s well known that over the past decade, China has pretty much dominated the lithium-ion battery supply chain. It controls the supply of lithium as a raw material and virtually every step in the supply chain that goes into making that lithium suitable for making EV batteries. Why China has … [continued]
In a perfect world, there would be plenty of battery materials available at affordable prices, manufacturing costs would be dropping steadily, and there would be a large supply of affordable electric cars in the world’s showrooms. Sadly, we don’t live in a perfect world. The price of battery materials is … [continued]
Northvolt is looking to make battery cells using locally sourced sustainable materials such as lignin, which is derived from trees.
As the electric vehicle market matures, battery recycling and reuse rapidly becomes a bigger deal. Battery recycling is a long established practice, but never before at the scale we will see for lithium-ion batteries from electric cars and trucks. One might think there’s nothing new under the sun in this … [continued]
Glencore is using electric mining machines from Epiroc to provide emissions free raw materials for electric vehicles.
