Remote Battery Monitoring Increasingly Important for Mobility and ESS

The market for remote battery monitoring is expected to continue to grow over the next decade, fueled by demand from mobility and energy storage system managers. This trend is tied to increasing interest in wireless battery management systems (wBMSs) to save on wiring costs and reduce battery pack complexity, though the majority of the market will continue to be made up of wired BMSs using gateways to convert to wireless communications protocols.

US-China Trade War Drives Investment in Domestic Rare Earth Supply

Growing export restrictions placed on defense-related rare earth materials from China at a time of multiple international conflicts underscores growing demand in the US and Europe to develop alternative supply. China's latest export restrictions on critical rare earth elements applies yet more pressure to what are already tightly controlled materials.

SES AI

SES AI Corporation, formerly known as SolidEnergy Systems, was founded in 2012 as a spin-out from MIT by Dr. Qichao Hu, with incubation support from A123 Systems. The company initially focused on solid-state Li-metal batteries but soon recognized the limitations in scaling such technology for practical manufacturing. By 2013, SES had developed early prototypes of multi-layer cells.
