New nanoparticle copper compound cathode could enable low-cost, long-life and high-power potassium-ion batteries for grid storage

Green Car Congress

Stationary energy storage systems that can operate for many cycles, at high power, with high round-trip energy efficiency, and at low cost are required. Cost is a greater concern. We decided we needed to develop a new chemistry if we were going to make low-cost batteries and battery electrodes for the power grid.

BYD breaks ground on its first sodium-ion EV battery plant

Baua Electric

Although lithium-ion is currently the primary battery in vehicles, companies are developing new chemistries to unlock lower prices, more range, faster charging, and less raw material use. BYD’s Blade Battery powers other automakers’ EVs, including Tesla, Hyundai, Toyota, and Ford, to name a few.

WAE Technologies launches Elysia battery intelligence software for the mass market

Green Car Congress

The core offering is based around two key products: Elysia Embedded is a suite of battery management algorithms, which run locally on the Battery Management System (BMS)—for example directly on an EV’s battery or on a stationary energy storage system.

CWind launches first hybrid-powered surface effect ship: CWind Pioneer

Green Car Congress

The vessel was developed in response to an industry-wide push to develop and deploy innovative technologies that reduce CO 2 emissions, while cost-effectively servicing windfarms located further offshore. By choosing a SES you can, therefore, reduce emissions by simply building a smaller vessel for the same job. —Trygve H.

Chip-enabled raised pavement markers support autonomous driving in tough conditions, remote areas

Green Car Congress

This saves electric vehicle battery power, extending driving range to promote wider EV adoption. Compared with a leading camera and LiDAR-based autonomous driving technology, the chip-enabled pavement markers can reduce navigational power consumption by up to 90%, the authors reported.
