The world is shifting to electric vehicles to mitigate climate change. Here, we quantify the future demand for key battery materials, considering potential electric vehicle fleet and battery chemistry developments as well as second-use and recycling of electric vehicle batteries. We find that in a ...
emerging as the world's leading car exporter. Still, China's main focus lies on new energy vehicles (NEVs), a category encompassing fully electric cars, plug-in hybrids, and hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles. According to IEA, the country accounted for 35% of global...
Here are the raw materials we need to fuel the electric car boomJeff Desjardins
It is widely accepted that for electric vehicles to be accepted by consumers and to achieve wide market penetration, ranges of at least 500 km at an affordable cost are required. Therefore, significant improvements to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in terms of energy density and cost along the ...
The technologies presented for Sustainable Mobility include powertrain electrification technologies that demonstrate our expertise in the area of composite materials with solutions for electric vehicles using batteries and fuel cells. We are working hard on battery packs which will gradually integrate ...
The hard-top design is aimed at customers seeking the look and feel of a sports car with the environmentally-friendly kudos that comes with owning an electric vehicle. One of the design's selling points is its unique bonded aluminium base, but production costs could soar ...
Also, aluminum-epoxy hybrid foam sandwich structures are demonstrated to achieve a 10–15% weight reduction in the battery housing of an electric vehicle [142]. Of course, the most straightforward way to reduce the weight is to increase the energy density of the batteries such that less cells...
As drivers around the world switch to electric cars, new batteries that can store more energy, translating to longer driving distances before a car needs recharging, can't come soon enough. But researchers at NTNU have discovered that one promising material in the search for the next generation ...
As carmakers gear up to electrify their fleets, a new scramble for resources is under way to ensure there is enough raw material for a rapid expansion of battery production. Electric car batteries rely on a host of materials — from lithium to nickel, cobalt and graphite — while some car...
