PolyPlus scores $9 million DOE grant for its battery technology
The PolyPlus lithium-water battery has achieved the highest energy density ever recorded – 1,300 Wh/kg, far more than the maximum delivered by current lithium-ion batteries.
Paris car sharing service launches with 250 EVs
Car sharing services, which allow drivers to rent vehicles for a few hours at a time, are popular in Europe’s cities. They’re a natural fit for EVs, because most users will drive only short distances, the cars can be recharged at the central pick-up/drop-off locations, and of course EVs reduce air and noise pollution in… Read more »
Ionic Mineral Technologies expands land lease at Utah rare earth project
US-based Ionic Mineral Technologies has expanded the lease rights for its Silicon Ridge rare earth project in Utah and completed a strategic step-out drilling program for its Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). The 4,100 additional acres of land consolidate the company’s strategic land package to roughly 13,000 contiguous acres. The expansion is strategically significant, as it… Read more »
Ionic Mineral discovers a major trove of rare earth and critical minerals in Utah
Ionic Mineral Technologies has discovered a major high-grade deposit of rare earth minerals and critical technology metals at its fully-permitted Silicon Ridge project in Utah. The trove could prove to be a domestic source for elements used in the manufacture of EVs and many other high-tech products—elements that currently come mostly from China. Independent assays… Read more »
PEM tests feasibility of battery cells containing 80% recycled content
The Chair of Production Engineering of E-Mobility Components (PEM) at RWTH Aachen University is working with industrial partners on the Kreislauf.IN.NRW battery cell recycling research project. The project, funded by the Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Transport of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, aims to investigate the production and functionality of cells containing… Read more »
Nano One receives C$5-million government grant to support LFP capacity expansion
Nano One Materials, a Canadian a process technology company specializing in lithium-ion battery cathode active materials (CAM), has been awarded C$5 million ($3.5 million) in non-repayable financing from Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) under the Energy Innovation Program to scale production of its One-Pot lithium iron phosphate (LFP) CAM and accelerate commercialization. The funding supports Nano… Read more »
Dürr unveils X.Cellify DC dry electrode coating system for battery manufacturing
Dürr has announced the development of X.Cellify DC, a dry electrode coating process that forms a free-standing film of active battery material, which is fully recyclable until it is laminated onto the collector foil. The company says this approach reduces active material waste in battery electrode production, and its proof-of-concept confirms the technology’s reliability, scalability,and… Read more »
A closer look at capacitor precharge and inrush current control
The vast majority of power converters used in the EV space—from battery chargers to traction inverters—are classified as voltage-fed, meaning they expect to be supplied from a source whose voltage varies little with changes in current draw (i.e. has a low impedance), and the best way to ensure this condition is with a capacitor across… Read more »
2026 Nissan Rogue Plug-In Hybrid: a Mitsubishi SUV with Nissan labels
Well, we didn’t see this one coming: The 2026 Nissan Rogue Plug-In Hybrid isn’t actually a Nissan Rogue. It’s a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV with a Nissan grille and badges slapped on. When Nissan announced more than a year ago it would sell a plug-in hybrid Rogue in the U.S., the industry assumption was that it… Read more »
