The move to EVs creates large amounts of e-waste and environmentally damaging mining. The Lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese shortages could slow the EV transition and rapidly expand mining activities. There’s growing interest in…

The adoption of electric vehicles is causing a rise in demand for next-generation secondary batteries with higher capacity and faster charging than today’s lithium-ion batteries. Lithium metal batteries are promising as rechargeable…

Ford stopped production of its top-selling electric pickup, the F-150 Lightning. Pre-delivery vehicle inspections discovered a possible battery problem. According to Ford, this doesn't apply to you if your Lightning is sitting at the…

Let's face it; charging an EV takes more than a little time. Drivers want to charge and go quickly, but with current technology, speeding up the process can cause damage. Now, scientists have designed super-fast charging methods for…

Performance decline caused by repeated charge-discharge cycling in the cathodes is the bane of next-generation batteries. EVs need greater ranges, and the grid requires low-cost batteries to store intermittent clean energy. The…

As many early adopters of electric vehicles know, their cars’ bulky batteries will soon be at the end of their life cycles. The size of coolers, EV batteries may be repurposed in a variety of ways. But the next generation of EV batteries…
