OXIS Energy is the lead partner in a collaboration with Lotus Engineering, Imperial College London and Cranfield University to develop a Lithium-sulfur vehicle battery and Energy System Controller (ESC). Further, the ESC will utilize 90-95% of the stored energy. —Frost & Sullivan Senior Research Analyst Avimanyu Basu.

However, the best current technology to store the energy required by electric motors is the lithium-ion battery, and most (although not all) types of such batteries contain nickel. Therefore, the increasing electrification of the automotive industry will represent a new demand stream for nickel.

A decade ago it became possible to get your electricity in the UK from a department store chain (though with the actual power supplied first by a Scottish utility and— as of 2018 —arranged and managed by Octopus Energy). Battery research and development is burgeoning far beyond Tesla, and the difficult hunt is on to move past lithium ion.

The economic benefits of recycling Li-ion batteries are clear, but at present, only a small percentage of them are recycled. The two main processes for recycling lithium-ion batteries are pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy. There are currently two main processes for recycling lithium-ion batteries.

In its Formula One application, the technology employs two types of motor generator units (MGUs) and a battery pack to gather, store and recycle electrical energy. Design work has been led by INFINITI’s London studio in Paddington, under the management of the INFINITI Global Design Center in Japan. Earlier post.).

I felt assured that all would be well, so much so that I risked some precious battery charge over the next day exploring just how on Earth a car that’s longer than a LandCruiser (5.2m) and heavier than a London bus (2.65 tonnes) could possibly accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 3.8 For this, and everything else, I blame TikTok.
