French company Nawa technologies says it’s already in production on a new electrode design that can radically boost the performance of existing and future battery chemistries, delivering up to 3x the energy density, 10x the power, vastly faster chargin… Continue reading “World’s fastest electrodes” triple the density of lithium batteries
By focusing on the way lithium moves between the two electrodes, scientists in the Netherlands have come up with a new battery design that promises much faster charging rates. The architecture incorporates specialized channel structures that enable a g… Continue reading Battery anode allows for faster charging via free-flowing nanochannels
Like many events to take place in 2020, Tesla’s Battery Day and annual shareholder meeting looked a little different to what you might expect, with attendees listening in from parked cars much like a drive-in movie theater. What was similar to Tesla ev… Continue reading 1,100-hp Model S Plaid and other highlights from Tesla’s Battery Day
Estonia’s Skeleton Technologies and Germany’s Karlsruhe Institute of Technology have partnered up to complete development on what they’re calling the SuperBattery for EVs – “a groundbreaking graphene battery with a 15-second charging time.”Continue Rea… Continue reading Skeleton and KIT promise graphene SuperBattery with 15-second charging
Porsche has now made it easier for drivers to take its Taycan electric supercar for a spin at special track days, by developing its own monster battery pack on wheels that can charge up to 10 cars at once.Continue ReadingCategory: Automotive, Transport… Continue reading Porsche rolls out 2.1-MWh charging trailers for Taycan track days
As electric vehicles grow in popularity, automakers are paying more attention to what will become of the old batteries once they need replacing. We’ve seen the likes of Nissan and Renault make moves to give these a second life as energy storage devices… Continue reading Volvo’s electric bus batteries to gain a second life in energy storage
