Many will say that Tesla is an overvalued car company but forget to address an integral part of Tesla's business. In this video, I explain why Tesla battery farms will end power plants forever.
Tesla's long-delayed Battery Day event will finally push through on Tuesday, immediately after the electric vehicle maker's annual meeting of stockholders.
After Electrek featured a massive battery cell that was supposedly from Tesla's Roadrunner line, Teslarati covered it in detail and Elon Musk replied saying, "It will be very insane."
It has been the bane of the electric vehicle revolution's hopes--insufficient battery life. But now, Elon Musk has hinted that he might just have a solution to the thing that has dogged EVs for years.
NDB says its nano-diamond batteries will absolutely upend the energy equation, acting like tiny nuclear generators. Cheaper and more powerful than lithium-ion, they can last for thousands of years without ever needing a charge.
The pursuit of next-generation battery architectures have scientists exploring all kinds of alternative materials, and one that has been seen as a great candidate for some time is silicon.
A solid-state battery, where the liquid electrolyte that carries the charge is swapped out for a solid alternative, promises a number of performance benefits over today's solutions, but there are a few problems to solve first.
Hydrogen's impressive energy density offers some compelling advantages that could see it make a huge difference in the electric aviation and eVTOL sectors, as well as in renewable energy, where it's a lightweight and transportable
This video compares used examples of the first-gen Chevrolet Volt, Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid and Ford C-Max.
The video starts with three main types of chargers, explained starting by speed: slow, fast, and rapid; all three representing different use cases and different power outputs measured in kilowatts (kW).
Nikola reaches market cap in days that took Tesla 10 years to reach.
The deal concerns lithium-ion batteries manufactured at the Tesla Gigafactory in Nevada (the cylindrical 2170-type).
To create the lists that answer them, Select Car Leasing used data from Geotab, which has analyzed more than 6,300 electric cars to discover how their battery packs held their capacities.
Volkswagen announced last week it was going to be launching its in-home charging station - and installation - ahead of the launch of its ID3 electric vehicle, which is expected to hit the streets later this year.
Carbon nanotube field-effect transistors or CNFETs can now be made 1100 times faster so significant commercialization will finally happen.
For this particular new tabless electrode, CEO Elon Musk said on Twitter that this technology is "way more important than it sounds" without explaining more.
"We have seen an inflection point in interest for utility level storage, primarily driven by progress in reducing costs," the company said.
And the new glass battery promises to accelerate the shift away from internal combustion engines because it will deliver a significant increase in storage capacity.
It takes a lot of abuse to get a cell to explode, but it's possible.
As Helen Czerski asks, nuclear fusion energy has been forty years away for the last 70 odd years. Are we getting any closer, Helen visits First Light Fusion in Oxfordshire.
In this episode of Fully Charged News, Robert Llewellyn starts out remaining neutral about the Tesla Cybertruck launch, discusses the new Ford Mustang electric car then tries not to get too ranty about Cobalt use in refining fossil fuels and the prob

The Tesla kept pace with the Bullitt, even edging slightly ahead in between shifts (the electric car's acceleration being entirely linear).
Swiss company Innolith claims that an electric vehicle equipped with its lithium battery would run for up to 600 miles (966 km.) That level of performance blows its Tesla counterpart away
Imagine if you will a lightweight, inexpensive power source with 9 times the energy density of a lithium-ion battery. Got your mind wrapped around that concept?
Tesla Model 3 production can only go as fast as the slowest part of the entire supply chain and production process. For months, the battery module line was their main production bottleneck.
This is an easy-to-make ionic liquid or deep eutectic solvent that I've made. Basically it's Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate heptahydrate) and glycerin/glycerol in a 1:3 molar ratio.
The gigafactory will cost Tesla up to $5 billion to build. It will produce 35 GWh/yr in battery cells and 50 GWh/yr in battery packs. Expansion plans are targeting 105 GWh of annual capacity by 2020.
The most difficult problem with off-grid living, solar, and wind power systems is the batteries. Traditional lead batteries are cheap but low quality and die quickly in the cold. What if a battery existed that could run for 100 years, run in any kind
Some Tesla observers are convinced that it will be a battery, based on the design that powers the company's automobiles, yet large enough to keep the lights on at a home.
