A commercial sodium-ion battery used in China is getting closer to Tesla-style performance, with cheaper materials and a double-aluminum design that could challenge lithium-ion in cost-sensitive EVs and grid storage.
Researchers have developed an AI-powered charging system that speeds up EV charging while actively protecting battery health, potentially extending battery life by nearly 23%.
A real-world test of BYD’s Megawatt Flash Charge technology recorded battery temperatures of 169.6°F, well above China’s recommended safety ceiling for lithium iron phosphate cells, raising concerns about long-term battery health.
Honda is shelving its massive C$15 billion ($11 billion) EV and battery manufacturing hub in Ontario, Canada, according to a new report from Nikkei. The move escalates what was initially framed as a temporary pause into what increasingly looks like an …
CATL, the world’s largest battery maker, signed a 60 GWh sodium-ion battery deal with energy storage integrator HyperStrong — the largest sodium-ion battery order ever placed. The three-year agreement is equivalent to half of all energy storage batteri…
Ford Racing’s new Mustang Cobra Jet 2200 just became the quickest electric car on the planet, running a 6.87-second quarter mile at 221 mph at the NHRA 4-Wide Nationals in Charlotte this weekend.
The run demolished Ford’s own previous EV record — a …
Recurrent’s analysis of over one billion miles of EV driving data finds that range loss is barely a factor for modern electric vehicles, with the average car retaining 95% of its original range after five years.
On today’s supremely clever episode of Quick Charge, we talk with engineers from MOOG about diesel, natural gas, and battery power – and how the ability to use any or all of the above on a single machine can help fleets decarbonize at lower cost, and w…
Chinese automaker Geely has claimed a new EV charging milestone with its new Lunk & Co 10 going from 10% to 97% in under nine minutes.
A growing number of states and federal lawmakers are pushing flat annual fees of $200 to $250 on electric vehicles, amounts that charge EV owners two to three times more than what the average gas car driver pays in federal fuel tax. The proposals are b…
