Cambridge researchers found that applying the right constant pressure to lithium-ion battery cells could double their lifespan without changing the chemistry.
Made from more affordable and more abundant materials than li-ion, sodium batteries promise more abundant and more affordable electric vehicles – but will sodium batteries be practical for commercial trucks? Chinese truck brand FAW Jiefang is working t…
General Motors has expanded its partnership with Redwood Materials to cover every stage of the battery lifecycle — manufacturing scrap recovery, end-of-life recycling, and now second-life energy storage deployed at a GM factory. It’s the first automake…
A commercial sodium-ion battery used in China is getting closer to Tesla-style performance, with cheaper materials and a double-aluminum design that could challenge lithium-ion in cost-sensitive EVs and grid storage.
Researchers have developed an AI-powered charging system that speeds up EV charging while actively protecting battery health, potentially extending battery life by nearly 23%.
A real-world test of BYD’s Megawatt Flash Charge technology recorded battery temperatures of 169.6°F, well above China’s recommended safety ceiling for lithium iron phosphate cells, raising concerns about long-term battery health.
Honda is shelving its massive C$15 billion ($11 billion) EV and battery manufacturing hub in Ontario, Canada, according to a new report from Nikkei. The move escalates what was initially framed as a temporary pause into what increasingly looks like an …
CATL, the world’s largest battery maker, signed a 60 GWh sodium-ion battery deal with energy storage integrator HyperStrong — the largest sodium-ion battery order ever placed. The three-year agreement is equivalent to half of all energy storage batteri…
Ford Racing’s new Mustang Cobra Jet 2200 just became the quickest electric car on the planet, running a 6.87-second quarter mile at 221 mph at the NHRA 4-Wide Nationals in Charlotte this weekend.
The run demolished Ford’s own previous EV record — a …
Recurrent’s analysis of over one billion miles of EV driving data finds that range loss is barely a factor for modern electric vehicles, with the average car retaining 95% of its original range after five years.
