Electrovaya launches next generation of MN series of Li-ion SuperPolymer cells; claims energy densities exceeding 200 Wh/g

Green Car Congress

Electrovaya’s MN-HP series cells use commercially proven electrode materials such as graphite anodes and lithium metal mixed oxide cathodes. The company says that the MN-HP cells typically have 50-70% higher energy density than typical phosphate cells, and more than 120% higher energy density than lithium titanate cells.

Mitsubishi Motors selects Toshiba SCiB for EVs

Green Car Congress

With lithium titanate oxide in the anode, the SCiB offers a high level operating safety, long life and rapid charging. Toshiba will seek to establish a plant operating structure able to respond quickly to market growth as the basis for expanding the SCiB business for EV, including hybrid and plug-in hybrid EVs.

Testing the Rowwet electric scooter : Eleq

Plug In India

I listened to a TED talk by their founder - and realised that what they are selling is a hybrid pack - very similar to what my friend Vijay Chheda has been trying to do for many years in the ICE space - without too much success. Lithium-titanate cells also last for 3000 to 7000 charge cycles. A real zippy ride in Mode 2 itself!

Update on Select Argonne Lab Activity with HEV and PHEV Li-ion Batteries

Green Car Congress

While other researchers have looked at stabilizing the spinel, Amine said, Argonne looked at replacing the carbon with a lithium titanate material. A small amount of manganese dissolution in the electrolyte (5 ppm) can lead to significant capacity loss.
