Electrifying the box—a new path to trucking electrification
Powered trailers offer a painless path to electrifying heavy-duty transport. Trucking firms are caught in a bit of a bind. They need to electrify before their competitors do, or risk being undercut on the all-important metric of cost per mile—however, electric trucks come with high upfront costs, and when it comes to long-haul Class 8… Read more »
Asahi Kasei licenses high-conductivity electrolyte to EAS Batteries for ultra-high power lithium-ion cells
Asahi Kasei has signed a license agreement allowing EAS Batteries to use its acetonitrile-containing electrolyte technology in a new ultra-high power lithium-ion cell. EAS Batteries plans to launch its cylindrical UHP601300 LFP 22 cell, utilizing a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode and the novel electrolyte, by March 2026. Asahi Kasei says its electrolyte offers high… Read more »
Inside the EV battery recall process—the complexity of safety and logistics
As EV adoption accelerates, so does the frequency of battery recalls—and the operational expertise they require. In recent months, a string of recalls from major automakers has underscored the complexities of EV battery systems. Hyundai recently pulled back a limited number of 2025 IONIQ 5s in the US after identifying a short-circuit risk linked to… Read more »
