nterest in electric vehicles (EVs) is getting super hot in India. Having missed out on building its own manufacturing base for solar PV, India seems conscious about not missing the EV opportunity, especially for lithium-ion battery manufacturing (LIB). Through programs like “Make in India” and by providing special manufacturing zones with infrastructure, connectivity, and cheap power, the country is trying

After years of working on an organic aqueous flow battery, researchers found that their ground-breaking, organic anthraquinone molecules were decomposing over time, reducing the long-term usefulness of the battery. Now, the researchers have not only learned how the molecules are decomposing but also how to reverse it. The team’s rejuvenation method cuts the capacity fade rate of the battery a factor of 40 while keeping the cost of the battery low.

Scientists have discovered a new material that could hold the key to unlocking the potential of hydrogen powered vehicles. As the world looks towards a gradual move away from fossil fuel powered cars and trucks, greener alternative technologies are being explored, such as electric battery powered vehicles. Another ‘green’ technology with great potential is hydrogen power. However, a major obstacle

Rivian is proving that there’s more than one way to get more range out of an electric car. A new patent filing from the company reveals that its upcoming R1T electric pickup could have even more than 400 miles of range by using an auxiliary battery in the bed of the pickup.  The filing was revealed on Rivian Forums last week.R According

Why have batteries become important? In a world increasingly anxious about climate change, the surge in the generation of renewable energy over the past 20 years offers a sliver of hope. But the variable nature of wind and solar power means that storing energy until consumers need it has become the next big challenge. And so, large-scale battery installations are

Purple phototrophic bacteria — which can store energy from light — when supplied with an electric current can recover near to 100 percent of carbon from any type of organic waste, while generating hydrogen gas for use as fuel.

Volvo Trucks has a really extensive electrification program with several electric trucks currently being tested and developed. They are teasing a new all-electric semi truck to be added to the list. Earlier this year, the Swedish group announced that it will bring its electric trucks to the road as soon as this year and start selling them next year. They
