As automotive companies are electrifying their fleets, lithium-ion battery demand is predicted to grow almost 10-fold from 2020 through to 2030, but can supply meet this demand? Volkswagen has a target of producing 1.5 million EVs by 2025 and have entered a joint venture with Northvolt to build a 16 GWh Gigafactory in Germany to […]

A new report has revealed that the emergence of new materials to enhance the efficiency of supercapacitors will see the technology compete with lithium-ion in the near future. The IDTechEx report explains that supercapacitors and their variants still only constitute a modest business due to the fact the lithium-ion battery has improved so rapidly and […]

It is estimated that by 2050, 74% of Europe’s vehicle stock will be battery powered. Yet, despite this widespread uptake of electric vehicles there has been little conversation about standardizing battery types. Doing so could help bring down costs, but it also comes with other implications, which this article discovers. Over the next half-century, the […]

The Telangana government on Friday launched the ‘Telangana Electric Vehicle & Energy Storage Policy’ to promote electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems (ESS) in the state. Through the policy, the government seeks to attract $4 billion in private investments to boost the EV sector and create employment for 1.2 lakh people by 2030 in […]

Read on and explore some of the inner-workings of an electric vehicle along with some common questions customers may have when shopping for their new electric Hyundai. An electric vehicle uses […]

The battery system is perhaps the most critical component of battery electric vehicles. In addition to obtaining the highest possible energy density, aspects such as safety, weight and sustainability play crucial roles. Professor Andreas Hintennach, head of battery cell research at Daimler discusses the fundamentals of current lithium-ion cells, and reveals which technologies could power […]

The innovations of electric vehicles (EV) have been taking monumental leaps in global interest as the importance of CO2 emission reduction is scrutinized by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). At this time of age, the world has been progressing towards building a society where technology is green, eco-friendly, and sustainable. As the automobile industry is […]
