Despite Problems, Auto Makers Stick With Lithium-Ion BatteriesTwo incidents last month of lithium-ion batteries in Japanese cars burning or melting ended a multiyear streak of safe operation for the technology's use in cars, but not auto makers' support for the power packs.Yoree Koh...
The elements used in battery production arefinite and in limited supply. This makes itimpossibleto electrify all of the world's transport with current battery technology. Meanwhile, there is still no environmentally safe way ofrecycling lithium-ion batteries. While electric cars produce no exhaust, ...
Indonesia is one of the world’s top producers of battery minerals and the first global producer of nickel, an essential component to produce lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. That places the country at the core of the electric vehicle (EV) revolution. Home to 25% of the world’s nickel r...
