Batteries for EV vehicles
Grid Batteries Rapid Increase
The latest figures from Tesla show a rapid increase in the amount of grid storage deployed globally in the first quarter of 2023. Over 160GWh backlog in Tesla orders and over 300GWh projects announced for all batteries
Nano Silicon Anode for Batteries
Nano silicon for the battery anode is a recent development leading to a 15% increase in energy density and avoiding the use of graphite in the batteries. Sila Technologies is ramping up production to 150GWh per year over then next 5 years.
Sodium-Ion Battery for EVs Launched in China
Sodium-ion battery chemistry has been keenly anticipated as alternative chemistry to lithium ion batteries in EV. Sehold have been first to market.
Compressed Air Battery Technology
Compressed air battery using large underground vaults are being developed to provide long duration storage.
Flow Batteries using Vanadium Iron Zinc-BR or HBr
Flow batteries are a valid option for community and grid based storage. The advantages of low life, simple expansion works. Vanadium, iron, or zinc bromine based flow batteries will not be used in vehicles but deliver great grid and micro grid storage battery solutions.
