Northvolt has so far declined to name its "anchor customer" for the huge Canadian EV battery factory set to eventually produce 60 gigawatts annually.

Battery tech from StoreDot might help gain 100 miles of EV range in just five minutes—not just speeding up charging but allowing Volvo to use smaller packs.

Shoppers are starting to see EV battery manufacturing as a key piece in the vehicles' sustainability and carbon footprint, so more transparency and communication from automakers is necessary, suggest survey results.

For EV drivers concerned about battery degradation, a few key decisions about how they park, charge, and even which battery they choose can help their car fare better over the long run.

The automaker also emphasized the importance of producing thinner battery packs in overall EV range and efficiency.

A BYD battery would be the first use of LFP in a production Mercedes.

Skilled labor at new EV battery plants doesn't pay much more than flipping burgers—and that's quickly becoming a Trump talking point.

Cold-weather charging and acceleration are much improved, too, the battery maker claims.

The second battery plant will fall under the same StarPlus Energy joint venture as its first U.S. facility currently being built in Kokomo, Indiana and due to ramp up in early 2025.

The firm acquired has developed software that helps provide early detection of thermal runaway events and other battery failures.

The concept, based on the Lotus Elise like the original Tesla Roadster, keeps the battery pack modestly sized yet it can charge at 1,600 miles per hour.

Toyota claims a tech breakthrough that may allow solid state batteries with more than 500 miles of range to be produced as soon as 2027.

Stellantis also plans a technology center for battery cells, modules, and battery packs near the plant, so much rests on a resolution.

A new battery architecture with more efficiency and a smaller footprint could help enable urban renewable energy or grid-buffering projects.

Tesla's chart suggests that its customers aren't experiencing much range loss over the full lives of their vehicles.

Quicker charging might enable smaller battery packs, improving efficiency by reducing weight, and decreasing costs, making EVs more affordable.

And the tech is coming to Mercedes' electric G-Class, badged EQG.

Smaller, lighter batteries are the promise of supplier LG Innotek and an 800-volt BMS recently revealed for production models starting in 2024.

Tax Day is getting some extra sting this year for EV shoppers.

Even considering high mileage EVs, just 1.5% of EV battery packs have been replaced, suggest results from the analysis firm Recurrent.
