LA-based fleet e-mobility firm Xos has introduced a mobile charging station called the Xos Hub that means fleet operators can move to electric transport options without having to wait for the installation of permanent support infrastructure.Continue Re… Continue reading Xos supports commercial EV fleets with five-port mobile charging station
Although we do keep hearing about flexible wearable electronics, most such devices are still powered by rigid batteries that regularly need to be recharged. An experimental new battery, however, is soft, stretchable, and powered by human sweat.Continue… Continue reading Wearable battery is flexible, stretchable and sweat-powered

One of the many interesting areas of cutting-edge battery research involves the idea of using structural components to also store energy. We’ve seen how this could be applied to electric vehicles and gear for soldiers as a way of saving weight, and now… Continue reading Microbattery uses its own packaging to store four times the energy
A cheap and abundant material like salt might have plenty to offer the world of science, and one field where it could have game-changing effects is battery chemistry. Leveraging salt could help us avoid much of the cost and difficulty in sourcing scarc… Continue reading Chinese giant CATL launches a commercial salt-based battery for EVs
Many might be familiar with their smartphones or other electronic devices losing the charge over time, but the lithium-ion batteries that power them actually forego a sizable chunk of their capacity before they even get started. This is caused by impur… Continue reading Inventor of lithium batteries creates a coating to boost their capacity
Boston’s Form Energy is building a commercial-scale pilot of a remarkable new grid-scale battery project that could make a huge contribution to long-term energy storage as the world moves away from fossil fuels. These simple iron-air batteries store up… Continue reading Disruptive iron-air grid-scale battery is 10% the cost of lithium
One particularly promising architecture for next-generation batteries uses pure lithium-metal, a material with excellent energy density that could see electric vehicles travel many times farther on each charge. A research group in the US has taken a si… Continue reading Lithium strips take next-gen battery into record-breaking territory
