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 […]
