We put huge batteries for long ranges in EVs and then rarely drive over 50 miles a day. Is there another way to think about EV batteries?

It's been a while Mastodon(ers?). If you were wondering about the latest trends in #electricvehicle sales, EV #batteries, and #criticalmineral #supplychain, I've got you covered. Check out my latest battery report.

The report is behind a paywall, feel free to DM me for a sample.
Colorado is getting another battery startup. Amprius Technologies will build its new si-anode factory in Brighton.
This wasn't part of the What's Next for EV Batteries series, but it should be. Battery manufacturing hasn't changed all that much since the 90s when Sony first commercialized the li-ion battery. Despite the automated-pack-assembly picture, it's the cell assembly that's bloated and inefficient. The first step that should go? According to Dr. Yan Wang at AM Batteries , it's the slurry.

While some were disappointed with Tesla's Investor Day presentation, I saw some bright spots in Lars Moravy 's design and manufacturing presentation. Tesla's ability to analyze, deconstruct, and remake their production line is an advantage and a barrier legacy automakers may have to overcome.

How can traditional powertrain companies make the transition to electric? It’s all about finding efficiencies that allow a profitable but shrinking ICE business to fund a small but growing EV business. Checkout our whitepaper.

Just posted the second part of a series about the future of battery technology. It's mostly focused on the chemistries you can expect to see; high-silicon anodes, high-manganese cathodes, and little bit about CATL's plan for sodium batteries.

Ram's new Rev 1500 battery electric pickup truck says a lot about Tesla's #Cybertruck, not all of it good.

Starting to repost from LinkedIn. This is a free story about growing EV exports from China. China is seeing a slowdown in EV sales growth (still growing but not as fast) domestically. No matter, EV makers are looking abroad for sales. Chinese automakers exported more NEVs in the first 11 months of 2022 than during 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, combined!
