Routes for EV Motors to Reduce Their Chinese Rare Earth Reliance

Trade restrictions put in place by China in 2025 have made securing rare earth materials more challenging for the rest of the world. This article discusses the routes to reducing or eliminating rare earth materials in electric motors for electric vehicles in light of these restrictions.

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.

Prologium Technology Co Ltd

ProLogium was founded in 2006, with core technology in oxide electrolytes, ASM, LCBs, and MAB.

Ilika

Ilika plc, a UK-based company specializing in solid-state battery technology, has evolved significantly since its inception in 2004. Founded as a spin-out from the University of Southampton, Ilika initially focused on combinatorial materials development, leveraging high-throughput techniques to rapidly discover and optimize new materials. This approach gained attention from major corporations, including Toyota, which partnered with Ilika in 2008 to develop safer and more efficient battery materials for electric vehicles (EVs).

Stellantis Exits the Fuel Cell Vehicle Market: Is it Over for FCEVs?

Major automotive group Stellantis has officially discontinued its hydrogen fuel cell technology development program. This also means that its hydrogen-powered Pro One vehicles will no longer commence serial production this year. According to IDTechEx's analysis, light commercial vehicles were never a good value proposition for fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) technology, but is this the start of the fall for FCEVs globally? In this article, IDTechEx investigates the developments in the first half of this year in the FCEV industry.

Will More OEMs Drive the Fuel Cell Car Market Upwards?

As battery technology rapidly advances in cost, performance, and reliability, fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) are struggling to gain market traction. While FCEVs are seen as ideal for long-haul trucking, they aim to break into the larger passenger car market. IDTechEx explores their potential in this space by examining automaker strategies, past trends, and tech comparisons
