Batteries for EV vehicles
Combination New Battery Innovation
Using a long lasting LFP battery in combination with an anode free battery with shorter lifespan is the approach taken by Our Next Energy. Like a petrol battery hybrid, the combination provides 1000 km of range, and long life.
Tesla Grid and Home Batteries
Tesla has led innovation into grid, industrial and home storage with their range of batteries. The lines are blurred with home batteries now providing grid virtual power plant services.
CO2 Battery Technology
Batteries made from CO2 compression and expansion have moved from lab to deployment. Offering low cost, longer term storage utilising standard equipment.
Lithium From Seawater Demonstrated
Direct lithium extraction is used in land based brines by a number of companies, but the vision is that the ocean has huge quantities, or could be extracted as part of desalination.
Batteries for Electrification is 300TWh According to Elon Musk
The total battery capacity for grid home and transportation is about 300TWh of batteries. This will take 10 years of manufacturing and ongoing of about 30TWh per year. Tesla aims to provide 10% of that battery capacity.
