QuantumScape’s solid-state battery cell achieves milestone in testing: 1,000 charging cycles

In recent A-sample tests at the laboratories of PowerCo, the Volkswagen Group’s battery company, a solid-state battery from QuantumScape achieved more than 1,000 charging cycles while retaining more than 95 percent capacity. This translates to a potential battery life of 500,000 km with no significant loss of vehicle range. Solid-state battery technology promises longer ranges,… Read more »

GDI announces third-party cell verification of its 100% silicon anode

Battery-makers are eagerly researching ways to incorporate silicon, which can potentially store 10 times as much energy as graphite, into anodes. Now silicon anode specialist GDI says it has developed a 100% silicon roll-to-roll processed anode for next-generation batteries, potentially enabling graphite-free battery cells that deliver far higher energy density, faster charging and greater safety… Read more »

Nissan is ramping up EV production at its UK factory—but will it have enough batteries?

The beleaguered English auto industry got some good news this week, as Nissan and its partners announced plans to invest some £2 billion to build three electric car models at its Sunderland factory, which employs about 6,000 workers (and indirectly supports thousands more). To support the new EV production, a new battery gigafactory will be… Read more »
