BEIJING, China - Chinese startup Greater Bay Technology has unveiled its incredible Phoenix EV battery, which it says can operate efficiently even in winter temperatures, Electrek reports. Normally, electric batteries lose effectiveness when it’s too cold. They charge more slowly and discharge power less efficiently. Electric vehicles (EVs) that rely on batteries are much harder to use in
DETROIT - The Gemini battery from manufacturer Our Next Energy (ONE) promises to give electric vehicles a greater range than ever before. In a December 2021 road test, ONE’s first Gemini prototype was able to power a Tesla Model S for an incredible 752 miles across Michigan on a single charge, according to the company’s website. A third party
AUSTRALIA - Scientists have discovered a way to build next-generation batteries for electric cars that do not lose any capacity, even after hundreds of charging cycles. An international research team from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia and Yokohama National University in Japan claim the breakthrough could provide a viable and vastly superior alternative to
GALESBURG - Power management company Eaton announced its eMobility business has introduced a single-stage vent valve for electrified vehicle batteries. The valve acts as an overpressure relief for the vehicle’s battery pack. “As the electrified vehicle market continues to grow, battery packs are becoming progressively more powerful and create more heat. OEMs are designing new
DETROIT - The third generation of CATL’s cell-to-pack (CTP) technology offers a range of over 621 miles (1000 km) on a single charge. CATL will start mass production of its latest generation product, Qilin, next year, the company announced. Qilin, named after a legendary creature in Chinese mythology, also offers a record-breaking volume utilization efficiency of
CANADA - Tesla's battery research arm based in Canada published a paper earlier this month that provides details of a battery design that could serve us for 100 years, Electrek reported. As the world looks to reduce carbon emissions, electric transportation is one of the ways that is being touted to achieve emission targets that countries
BRISBANE, Australia - Engineers have discovered a way to more than double the lifespan of batteries used in smartphones and electric cars. The battery breakthrough was successfully demonstrated by researchers at the University of Queensland in Australia, who increased the lifespan of a lithium-ion (li-ion) battery from several hundred charge/ discharge cycles, to more than 1,000.
SAN JOSE, Ca. - Electric carmakers have long been clamoring for a battery breakthrough that will improve the range of their vehicles while also extending their lifespans. Innolith, a Swiss startup, says its new high-density lithium-ion batteries can do just that. The company claims to have made the world’s first 1,000 Wh/kg rechargeable battery. (Watt-hours
