What great news it was to learn that a handful of police departments in Connecticut are piloting electric vehicles (EVs) for their workday needs. With EV prices near parity with internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) and highly efficient batteries providing more than adequate range, it makes sense that more municipal … [continued]

Recently I collaborated with David Cebon, head of the Cambridge Centre for Sustainable Road Freight, and interested parties on a complete list of all of the abandoned hydrogen bus trials globally. There are a couple of dozen of them, and I’m pretty sure there are more transit agencies that have … [continued]

Whether it’s child labor in cobalt mining (shhh — cobalt is used in almost all electronic devices, but don’t tell anyone), range anxiety, or the collapse of the power grid if all electric cars charge at the same time, the internet is inundated with false statements and half-truths about electric … [continued]

A Cirba Solutions battery recycling and materials recovery facility in Lancaster, Ohio, will create battery-grade metal sulfates and lithium carbonate once it’s up and running. These will then become the raw materials for cathode active materials (pCAM) and cathode active materials (CAM) for batteries. The expansion of the site has … [continued]

CleanTechnica reader Amos Batto caught some very interesting notes on Chery’s solid-state batteries. Following up on our story about the company developing the first solid-state battery factory in the world (1 GWh of capacity), it seemed prudent to publish his comment as a standalone article. We will surely be referencing … [continued]

I have a lot of sympathy for Winnipeg. I’ve been there for work many times. I’ve been there in their frigid, tens of degrees Celsius below zero winters. I’ve been there in their dusty summers. I’ve even tried to get across the main intersection that pedestrians still aren’t allowed to … [continued]

Modern electric vehicle batteries began with lithium-ion batteries, originally applied to portable electronics and other portable applications. Batteries based on sodium have now been developed. These batteries have something in common. They all use intercalation. Intercalation simply means that charged compounds are physically stuffed in between the gaps in materials. … [continued]
