The heart of GM's strategy is a modular propulsion system and a highly flexible, third- generation global EV platform powered by proprietary Ultium batteries. They will allow the company to compete for customers in the market today, whether they are looking for affordable transportation, a luxury experience, work trucks or a high-performance machine.

Researchers demonstrate how they can overcome a persistent challenge known as dendrites to create a metal battery that performs nearly as well as a lithium-ion battery, but relies on potassium — a much more abundant and less expensive element.

This premium article will analyse and provide commentary on recent cathode developments in the Li-ion industry, including GM's unveiling of their NCMA battery and Tesla's rumoured intent to use LFP batteries from CATL.

A novel energy-free temperature control system is set to spark a new breed of ultra-efficient electric buses, cars, trucks and even ships.

ITN Energy Systems presented at Flex2020 a thin film battery that served as a substrate for power control circuits and sensors, all within a thin film format.

Historically, growth in the Li-ion battery market has been due to consumer electronics. Moving forward, Li-ion battery demand will be driven by growth in electric vehicle adoption, which has grown steadily over the last 10 years. Subsidies in countries such as Norway and China, especially, have encouraged EV sales.

Byton is a Chinese all-electric car start-up company founded in 2016. Byton showed off its final production version of the M-Byte electric SUV at CES 2020.

The redox flow battery (RFB) is a technology developed in the last 50 years, which has the main advantages of decouple energy and power capacity.

A technique based on the principles of MRI and NMR has allowed researchers to observe not only how next-generation batteries for large-scale energy storage work, but also how they fail, which will assist in the development of strategies to extend battery lifetimes in support of the transition to a zero-carbon future.
