Major battery breakthroughs seemingly happen every day, but only some of that tech ever leaves the lab. WIRED breaks down ...

Earlier, in another development, scientists in China unveiled a new electrolyte additive that could make EV lithium-metal batteries last 3,000 cycles. This thioether-based compound has shown the ...

Researchers in Mexico have developed a revolutionary zinc-air battery (ZAB) that keeps running even after being punctured, exposed to flames, or even completely submerged in water.

A new encapsulation foam technology could play a central role in shaping worldwide EV safety standards. Covestro, a leading producer of advanced polymers and high-performance plastics, has introduced ...

Electric vehicles have come a long way, but let’s be real—they still have their hangups: “range anxiety,” long charging times, and questions about safety and sustainability. But what if all those ...

Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL), the largest battery manufacturer in the world with a 38% share of the global market, has just announced some fairly significant breakthroughs in ...

Lithium-ion batteries were invented in the United States. But years ago, as part of a push toward electric vehicles, China took the lead in mass-producing them. Now there's a great race underway to ...

General Motors has just announced its latest and likely final piece in what now appears to be a three-pronged cell-chemistry strategy to power GM’s lineup of a dozen EVs through the end of the decade ...

General Motors on Tuesday said it’s planning to become the world’s first automaker to use lithium-manganese-rich (LMR) batteries in production trucks and full-size SUVs starting in 2028. The new ...

An American battery company wants to completely rethink how lithium-ion batteries are made. The company claims its electrode-to-pack design eliminates waste and boosts energy efficiency. It can ...
