Debunking the Lithium "Mining" FUD

Plug In India

Thier technical development unit has examined how the carbon footprint of electric cars in compares with that of internal combustion engines. Also EV’s have another advantage, as the grid gets cleaner your EV will emit less and less emissions. References Diamond Mine shown as Lithium Mines! With a clear result.

OSU smart membrane could enable new category of high-energy, high-power energy storage for EVs

Green Car Congress

The shelf-life of stored charge in rechargeable devices does not scale linearly with maximum SP and has led to trends referred to as ‘range-anxiety’, ‘compulsive charging’, etc. This limits the current application of RFBs to backup in grid balancing; they are not being widely considered for mobile applications.

Take a detailed look at 7 types of energy storage batteries

Setec Powerr

With the worldwide emphasis on renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, energy storage has become an essential solution for grid stability and reliability. At a certain working degree, sodium ions pass through the reversible reaction between the electrolyte diaphragm and sulfur to form the release and storage of energy.

EV Range Confidence – Charged and Ready

Blink Charging

When considering the typical 3-5 year lifespan of a lead-acid battery in a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle, many drivers assume that an EV battery requires regular replacement. Comprehensive planning, often referred to as community electric vehicle readiness , prepares communities for the shift to electric vehicles.
