This premium article provides an updated overview of Li-ion recycling funding and investments over 2023 and 2024.

Aqua Metals is a Li-ion battery and metal recycler based in the US.

The global passenger car market is witnessing a pivotal shift in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), with Level 2+ (L2+) technologies rapidly outpacing Level 3 (L3) deployments. IDTechEx forecasts significant growth, with L2+/L3 revenues in Europe projected to exceed US$4 billion by 2042.

This premium article discusses fuel cell electric vehicles, with a focus on drivers and future models.

Envirostream is a Li-ion battery recycler, based in Australia, and is the wholly owned subsidiary of Lithium Australia.

Automotive and battery OEMs are responsible for collecting retired batteries, which is where the second-life battery value chain begins. Recycling processes may see critical raw materials such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel reclaimed by OEMs. However, the already somewhat established relationship between recyclers and manufacturers may prove tricky for repurposing companies to interrupt.

Front and side radars serve distinct yet complementary roles in ADAS, making them essential for autonomous vehicles. IDTechEx explores the latest radar developments and explores autonomy leveling up, with Level 2+ asserting itself within the US and Europe's autonomous vehicle markets.

IDTechEx discusses the pros and cons of composite EV battery covers, as well as innovations, current market adoption and an outlook for future adoption.

Electra Battery Materials is a critical metal refiner and Li-ion battery recycler based in Canada.

This premium article introduces eVTOL and eCTOL aircraft, the battery performance required for commercialization and the technology options available.

China is at the forefront of sodium-ion battery (Na-ion) development, with strong government support, industry investment, and technological innovation driving its growth. Home to the majority of Na-ion companies, China leads in patents (84% of global filings) and is accelerating commercialization through capital alliances and large-scale production plans. The 14th Five-Year Plan prioritizes Na-ion research, with a 100 MWh-class energy storage system targeted by 2025. Key players like CATL, BYD, and HiNa are scaling production, but actual output remains low—0.9 GWh in 2023 to 2.4 GWh in 2024, well below the 50-100 GWh targets for 2025. Scaling challenges include cell quality, energy density, and cycle life improvements, while falling LFP battery costs and supply chain uncertainties add further hurdles. Despite these obstacles, China's Na-ion industry is rapidly evolving, positioning the technology as a viable low-cost, sustainable alternative to lithium-ion.

While battery electric vehicles (BEVs) continue to grow in model availability, sales numbers, and available charging infrastructure, the same cannot be said about fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). IDTechEx reviews the on-road fuel cell electric vehicle market and assesses whether passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, buses, and medium and heavy-duty trucks will use fuel cell technology in 20 years.
