Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have developed a new approach to recycling metals from used EV batteries. The method recovers 100% of the aluminum and 98% of the lithium from EV batteries, according to the researchers. In traditional aqueous-based recycling, all EV battery metals are dissolved in inorganic acid to remove impurities… Read more »

Researchers announce cycle life breakthrough for lithium-sulfur EV batteries
Researchers at Monash University have developed a new lithium-sulfur battery design with a nanoporous polymer-coated lithium foil anode that reduces the amount of lithium required in a single battery. In their recent paper, the scientists explain how they applied a nanoporous polymer directly onto a lithium foil anode, creating a new battery design that uses… Read more »
Researchers study the effect of impact on structurally embedded EV batteries
Chinese researchers are studying how low-velocity impact loads affect structurally embedded lithium-ion EV batteries. In a paper published in the Journal of Power Sources, the researchers observed that embedded batteries experienced micro-short circuits during impact-loading but retained energy-storage capacity following transient impact. Charge-discharge cycling tests results indicated that abrupt capacity loss increased with impact energy,… Read more »
Gilbarco Veeder-Root and Skycharger partner to provide EV charging infrastructure funding
Gilbarco Veeder-Root, a provider of gas pumps and related technology, has partnered with EV charging network Skycharger to introduce a program to provide fuel retailers and fleets with new financing and service options for EV charging infrastructure. The EVerse Fully Hosted program is designed to address funding gaps that persist despite help from such federal… Read more »
Leoni develops wiring systems with zonal architectures
Leoni, a supplier of wiring systems, has jointly designed a wiring system with an automotive manufacturer to allow the automated production of cable sub-harnesses, such as for bumpers. Leoni’s zonal architectures enable automotive manufacturers to reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) of wiring systems and to reorganize production processes and supply chains. A zonal… Read more »
Shell research shows increasing driving-range confidence among European EV drivers
The Shell Recharge EV Driver Survey 2023, which assessed the attitudes and behaviors of nearly 25,000 EV drivers in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and the UK, found a reduction in range anxiety. Only 14% of EV drivers said they avoid longer trips. The survey was commissioned by Shell and conducted by UK research… Read more »
Public-private research project to develop US graphite supply for EVs
Ramaco Carbon, a carbon technology business, is working with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to create “made in America” large-scale graphite-making technologies from coal. A fossil energy and carbon management program field work proposal supported by Ramaco Carbon and ORNL aims to take a bench-scale ORNL process to the commercial scale in two years. Ramaco… Read more »
