Researchers at Dalhousie University, led by Professor Jeff Dahn, have developed an excellent moderate-energy-density lithium-ion pouch cell chemistry that they say should be able to power an electric vehicle for more than 1.6 million kilometers (1 million miles) and last at least two decades in grid energy storage. An open-access paper in the Journal of Electrochemistry JES details the new cell and the testing to which the team subjected it to create a benchmark for further research.

If the Hyundai Kona Electric had been more widely available in its first year, we might have called it the year’s game-changer. It's a perky, roomy little all-electric hatchback and one that, from what we’ve experienced, doesn’t disappoint on its 258-mile EPA-rated range—with a 2019 price that’s about $30,000 after.

The Paris Agreement calls for global warming to be limited to 2 ?C above pre-industrial levels, and preferably 1.5 °C. The fossil CO? emitted by road vehicles will have to be reduced to nearly zero over the next three decades for that to happen—a daunting and complex challenge. Electromobility is just now picking up momentum; further, electric cars are only as emissions-free as the production of electricity that charges their batteries.
