The BMW Group is forging ahead with electromobility and deepening its existing business relationships with battery cell manufacturers CATL and Samsung SDI.

South Australian electricity consumers will have more secure and affordable power with the State's Big Battery set to grow in size by 50% to help reduce household power bills and provide security services that were lost with the closure of the Northern Power Station.

The US Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory has collaborated with the Faraday Institution in a newly released Nature review of challenges and opportunities associated with recycling lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles.

Batteries are rapidly becoming less expensive and might soon offer a cheap short-term solution to store energy for daily energy needs. However, the long-term storage capabilities of batteries, for example, in a yearly cycle, will not be economically viable.

A blueprint for a loss-free quantum battery may be closer than we think, according to new research.

The fifth generation of BMW eDrive includes a newly designed high-voltage battery featuring the latest battery cell technology. With a weight of some 550 kilograms, it has an energy content of around 80 kWh. This gives the BMW i4 a range of approximately 600 kilometres.

Find out how companies are continuing to improve cell and battery performance and the post Li-ion batteries being developed to break through these limits at Energy Storage Innovations USA, hosted by IDTechEx.

From consumer electronics to electric vehicles and stationary storage, high power and fast charge capability are key performance metrics for Li-ion batteries. Pure battery electric vehicles can now offer range in excess of 300 miles per charge, but a full recharge can take hours. How can this be improved?

Airbus Defence and Space has partnered with U.S. based Amprius Inc's current equity funding. This financing will further boost the development of new generation batteries based on Silicon Nanowire Anode technology.

NAUM (from Nano Augmented) is a conference on nanomaterials organised and run by OCSiAl. IDTechEx attended a session on the use of nanomaterials in energy storage applications, and visited the exhibition.

IDTechEx Analysts review the future of Energy Storage and Electric Vehicles in India. Find out more at the upcoming Business & Technology Insight Forums On Electric Vehicles and Energy Storage, 3 - 4 December 2019 in Stuttgart, Germany, hosted by IDTechEx.

An IDTechEx analyst attended the 7th China International New Energy and Intelligent Connected Vehicles Exhibition 2019 (IEEV China 2019) and the co-located World Intelligent and Connected Vehicle (WICV) conference held in Beijing, China on 22-25 Oct. 2019.

The technology is based on a simple principle: raising and lowering a heavy weight to store and release energy.

A new power saving chip developed by engineers could significantly reduce or eliminate the need to replace batteries in Internet of Things devices and wearables. The so-called wake-up receiver wakes up a device only when it needs to communicate and perform its function. It allows the device to stay dormant the rest of the time and reduce power use.

OXIS Energy and Bye Aerospace have begun a 12-month collaborative programme that seeks to achieve a 50% to 100% increase in flight time from a single charge on future Bye Aerospace eAircraft.

Researchers have found a way to build a zinc-anode battery that not only has a high energy density, but is low cost, robust and stable, and has a life cycle that can be significantly prolonged.

Dutch clean energy conglomerate Koolen Industries has invested 4 million euros in Dutch ammonia energy storage company Proton Ventures.

Although still small compared to front-of-meter energy storage deployments, the home-battery market how grown rapidly over the past couple of years. In this premium article, IDTechEx breaks down the key markets and drivers behind this growth.
