Several automakers are planning their own battery factories to support increased electric-car production, but Ford isn't one of them. The automaker sees "insufficient scale" for its own battery factory to make financial sense, and will continue sourcing batteries solely from suppliers, according to an Automotive News Europe report. The report.

Researchers at UC San Diego, with their colleagues at other institutions, have developed a new anode material that enables lithium-ion batteries to be safely recharged within minutes for thousands of cycles. As reported in a paper in the journal Nature , the disordered rock salt Li 3+x V 2 O 5 can be used as a fast-charging anode that can reversibly cycle two lithium ions at an average voltage of about 0.6 volts versus a Li/Li + reference electrode.

Even with falling battery costs, electric cars will remain "significantly more expensive" for European automakers to build than internal-combustion models for at least a decade, according to a Financial Times study. While the total manufacturing cost of a compact electric car will fall by more than a fifth by 2030, to 16,000 euros ($19,000), that.

As the electric vehicle (EV) market continues to expand throughout the state, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) announced it will fund the installation of up to 38 additional fast charging stations in Greater Minnesota, extending the existing EV highway corridor network by more than 2,500 miles. Fast chargers can fully recharge an EV with a 100-mile range in as little as 20 minutes, depending on the car battery.

After years of dragstrip victories over gasoline vehicles, the Tesla Model S might have at last met its match: in the form of the Lucid Air electric sedan. Lucid Motors revealed Wednesday—ahead of a full reveal of the production Air on September 9—that the Air will be able to perform a traditional American performance metric, the.

Electric vehicles could remain expensive to build even after batteries become much cheaper. Ford sent signals it doesn’t plan to accelerate EV volume past Tesla in the near future. And the Lucid Air can do very, very well at the dragstrip. This and more, here at Green Car Reports. Lucid has claimed that the Air, which will be fully revealed.

Valmet Automotive expects sales from its battery business for electric vehicles (EV) to reach or exceed the level of contract manufacturing of vehicles in just a few years. The growth will focus primarily on the EV Systems business line with its services for the development and manufacture of battery systems. Electromobility is also playing an increasingly important role in the other three business lines: Engineering, Manufacturing and Roof & Kinematic Systems.

Traction batteries and motors in electric vehicles (EVs) are very different than the powertrain components of the internal-combustion engine vehicles they replace. Their meteoric rise will lead to much greater demand for several materials markets which otherwise would see only modest growth. For example, while the combustion engine and transmission relies heavily on aluminum and steel alloys, Li-ion batteries alone also require a great deal of nickel, cobalt, aluminum, lithium, copper, insulatio
