StoreDot aims to mass-produce EV batteries capable of adding nearly 100 miles of range in just five minutes of charging by 2024.

The Indiana plant, and a larger one with LG, will supply cells to hundreds of thousands of EVs made annually by later in the decade.

Sila claims its high-silicon anode material can increase energy density by 20% to 40% over current lithium-ion cell chemistries—meaning more range without larger battery packs.

Emissions Analytics performed chemical analysis of hundreds of new tires and now concludes tire-wear particulate emissions are 1,850 times greater than tailpipe particulate emissions.

Separately, the DOE has also designated $60 million in funding for so-called "second-life" uses of batteries after they've been retired from EV use.

Nissan thinks more energy-dense, lighter, faster-charging solid-state cells will be a game-changer for EVs. And they might be best used in trucks.

Allowing drivers to swap batteries and quickly recover range, the product and service is a potential alternative for those that don't have a dedicated parking space for charging.

The NHTSA review, which covers 138,324 vehicles, aims to ensure that all defective batteries have been recalled by the automakers.

The China-based battery supplier claims its cell-to-pack tech can deliver 13% more power than the 4680-format cells Tesla is shifting to, given the same volume.

The battery comment was made in an interview by author and energy expert Daniel Yergin, as part of IHS Markit’s CERAWeek 2022,

Second-use I-Pace batteries powered diagnostic equipment for the race cars, and provided auxiliary power for the team garage, according to Jaguar.

Battery cells for U.S.-made EVs will come from Nissan's favored supplier for the Leaf, AESC, as part of a plan for local cell supply around the world.

The goal is to create batteries for a planned "ultra-luxury performance EV," part of plans to electrify 20% of its fleet by 2024.

Lucid's CEO and CTO Peter Rawlinson teaches the basics on EV batteries while showing off some of the brand's tech.

Battery prices have declined for many years; but rising prices of nickel, lithium, and other materials could halt or even reverse that trend

According to a report from Japan, Panasonic is homing in on states near Texas for its own "mega factory" that could supply Austin with critical 4680 cells.

Tesla's primary supplier aims to ramp up mass production of the large-format cylindrical cells—to be used in the Cybertruck, Semi, and more—in 2023.

Tesla may have reached a higher production level by now, ahead of a Model Y production ramp in Texas.

Scheduled to open in 2025, the joint-venture plant will have a "potential" annual battery cell production capacity of up to 50 gigawatt-hours, which would be enough for 500,000 EVs annually

Stellantis and Mercedes-Benz are among the automakers hoping to take advantage of Factorial's cell tech.
