At the same time, the Group is aiming to secure the supply of battery cells beyond 2025. In Europe alone, six gigafactories with a total production capacity of 240 GWh are to be established by the end of the decade. Along with its partners, the company intends to operate about 18,000 public fast-charging points in Europe by 2025.

2021 was a big year for energy-related news, what with the ongoing hunt for new forms of energy storage and cleaner if not carbon-free electricity and events and research that spotlighted the weak links in our power grid. No battery is perfect, however, so engineers keep pushing for new and improved ways to store those electrons.

We are transitioning from a demand-led energy system, where power generation can be easily turned on and off to match demand, to one that is led by supply from variable and inflexible sources. As a result, grid balancing is now becoming more complex, whilst resilience and reliability all the more important.

Despite supply constraints and COVID-19, global EV sales in the first half of 2021 showed a 160% increase over the same period in 2020 — and 2020 itself was a banner year for EVs. The growth of 2021 EV sales, driven by strong demand in Europe and China, far exceeded the total car market, which was up 26%. Looking ahead.

and, acting as the link, controls the flow of high-voltage power between the e-motor and the lithium-ion battery (depending on battery voltage between 296 and up to 418 V). In doing so the power electronics convert the direct current (DC) stored in the battery into alternating current (AC) and use this to drive the motor.
