Such claims don't always scale up, but it brings hope for an even higher rate of recovered lithium for new EV batteries—and less harm to the environment.

An urban swapping plan for electric delivery trucks means less time worrying about charging, as well as less strain on the grid.

Despite better infrastructure and faster charges, two companies at the leading edge of Chinese EV tech see battery swapping as a big piece of the future.

Nissan's Mississippi-made EVs are set to get U.S.-sourced batteries when they arrive in 2028.

As part of an EU project involving tech suppliers and researchers, a team sees ways that cells can remain functional despite damage or defects.

After BMW nixed its battery supply deal with the Swedish battery maker that once aimed to rival firms from China and Korea, a turnaround was looking increasingly unlikely.

With wireless battery management, supplier SK On sees cooling fluid intermingling with cells and modules to keep battery temperature in check.

Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis are pooling efforts to develop solid-state batteries in-house, but they're not as optimistic on the timeline as Nissan, Honda, and Toyota.

The battery plant formerly owned by GM will help Toyota ramp up domestic EV and hybrid production.

Hyundai and Kia are moving quickly to adapt how their EVs are built.

Cells would have been intended not for EVs but for energy storage as utilities pivot to wind and solar.

Over the long term, Greenland appears to be rich in raw materials that would support electric vehicle affordability and economies of scale. But that's likely not what interests President Trump.

Several new manufacturing techniques may help accelerate the timeline of solid-state cell production for EVs.

Synthetic graphite for GM's future EV batteries will come from the U.S. via Norway.

Future EVs might allow both a more advanced cooling system and module replacement without removal of the entire pack.

Reduced cooling needs could boost energy density or reduce EV battery pack sizes, a GM patent filing suggests—if suppliers are able to make cells with a different stack shape inside.

In a recently filed patent, GM thinks through how it would charge—and divide—an EV battery pack that mixes multiple battery chemistries.

Toyota's working towards a future that automates battery pack disassembly and materials sorting for recycling and reuse.

The loan represents the largest made by the Biden administration related to EV manufacturing, and it will help finance construction of BlueOval SK battery plants in Kentucky and Tennessee.

With a process that can be scaled up in existing facilities and a 40-amp-hour automotive size now proven, Factorial is closer to making its solid-state cells a reality in EVs.
