Aqua Metals has developed a novel battery recycling process. 6K Energy produces sustainable materials for lithium-ion batteries. That sounds like a natural match, and in fact the two firms recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to create a sustainable circular supply chain in the US for critical battery minerals. The partners’ plan outlines a… Read more »

Redwood Materials raises over $1 billion investment round to expand domestic battery supply chain
US battery recycler Redwood Materials has completed an equity funding round that was co-led by Goldman Sachs Asset Management, Capricorn’s Technology Impact Fund, and funds and accounts advised by T. Rowe Price. The company plans to use the more than $1 billion in Series D funding to build capacity, expand its domestic battery supply chain,… Read more »
Packaging second-life EV batteries into a plug-and-play energy storage system
Q&A with Smartville CEO and co-founder Antoni Tong What do EV batteries have in common with athletes and politicians? Once they age out (or get voted out) of their positions, they have the opportunity to have a lucrative (and in the case of batteries, useful) second career. Repurposing depleted EV batteries for stationary storage applications… Read more »
An inside look at how utilities view EVs: expanding electricity sales without adding new customers
Q&A with the Orlando Utilities Commission’s Peter Westlake. Anyone who would deploy any kind of large-scale EV charging project needs to work closely (and early) with their local electrical utility. This can be a complex undertaking, especially for companies that work in different regions, as there are around 1,600 utilities in the US, subject to… Read more »
Biden-Harris Administration makes $100 million available to repair EV charging stations
The reliability (or lack thereof) of public EV chargers is nothing less than a scandal, and the Biden Administration, which has championed a major expansion of the nation’s EV charging infrastructure, is well aware of the problems. Now the Administration has opened applications for the Electric Vehicle Charger Reliability and Accessibility Accelerator, which will provide… Read more »
Here’s why utilities are happy to install public EV chargers, even if they lose money
When it comes to new technology, public perceptions matter. Expert opinions differ on the importance of public EV charging infrastructure, but potential EV buyers tend to see it as absolutely critical, as numerous surveys have made clear. Utilities around the country are installing public EV chargers, and the savvy ones understand that the value of… Read more »
NREL study identifies charging needs to accelerate US EV adoption
National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) researchers have released The 2030 national charging network: estimating US light-duty demand for EV charging infrastructure, a quantitative needs assessment for a national charging network capable of supporting the US transition to EVs. The study was conducted in collaboration with the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation and the DOE’s… Read more »
