#EV battery tech

BYD, the world's leading EV maker, is set to begin limited production of solid-state EV batteries by 2027, leveraging breakthroughs for superior performance and safety.

Toyota and Japanese oil refiner Idemitsu Kosan are moving forward with a new factory to mass-produce solid electrolytes for solid-state EV batteries, leveraging oil byproducts.

LG Energy Solution is reportedly in discussions with Tesla to supply batteries for its Optimus humanoid robot and other Chinese robotics companies.

CATL, the world's battery powerhouse, is bringing sodium-ion batteries to passenger EVs by Q2 2026, starting with a GAC Aion model. This means cheaper, more cold-weather-resilient EVs are on the horizon, shaking up the battery market!

Honda's new US-made ProZision electric mower packs a 19.2 kWh battery, larger than the 2011 Mitsubishi i-MiEV's, showcasing incredible battery tech evolution.

Battery giant CATL just declared that sodium-ion batteries will hit the market in a big way by late 2026, promising cheaper, safer, and better cold-weather performance. This could be the 'salt' of the earth solution we've been waiting for to diversify beyond lithium and power everything from EVs to grid storage.

China's GAC Group just broke the sound barrier in battery tech, firing up the first all-solid-state EV battery production line! This 'holy grail' promises to double your EV's range to over 600 miles and slash charging times. Move over, liquid electrolytes, the solids are here to party!

A UK startup, Hydrohertz, is touting a breakthrough device called Dectravalve that promises to slash EV charging times by up to 68% and boost range by 10% by precisely managing battery temperatures. This tiny tech could be a massive game-changer for electric cars.
