The cost of electric vehicle batteries can vary based on size and chemical composition. Here are the battery costs of six popular EV models.

In its quest to secure the raw materials needed to make electric vehicles, the US is turning to some questionable places.

GM sold the Chevrolet Spark EV for just three years, and now it no longer has replacement batteries, despite an eight-year, 100,000-mile warranty on the battery.

Elon Musk says Panasonic's new 4680 batteries are absolutely critical to unlocking a cheaper, $25,000 EV. W...

Could your EV need a costly battery replacement at 100,000 miles, or will it last far longer? Here's how long your EV's battery will last.

Standard electric-vehicle batteries can recharge much of their range in just 10 minutes by including a thin sheet of nickel inside them, a new study finds. This could provide a welcome and economically attractive alternative to expensive EVs that carry massive and massively expensive battery packs.

This facility will specialize in shredding about 24,000 metric tons of used EV batteries every year.

Electric vehicle batteries will all, eventually, reach the end of their lives. When that happens, they should be recycled. But what breakthroughs could make that happen cleanly, efficiently — and close to home? Today, business correspondent Camila Domonoske takes us on a tour of one company trying to crack the EV battery recycling puzzle — to learn what this case study can tell us about the larger battery picture.…

Atomic layer deposition can enhance storage capacity and durability

When an EV dies, many of the components of the battery are just as valuable as they were when they came out of the ground and can be recycled.

Has anyone thought about buying old EV batteries and connecting them to the grid for frequency regulation? Currently the FCR-N market in Finland is such that apparently you could make 30-50k€ a year with a 100kW setup. This should be achievable on a 30k€ investment:- 10k€ for the battery https://evshop.eu/en/batteries/292-2052-tesla-model-3-full-battery-pack-75kwh-long-range.html- ~10k€ for inverter (Growatt WIT…

While EVs are less likely to catch fire than cars with internal combustion engines, when they do, it's worse. Much worse. The culprit? Their lithium-ion batteries. To better ...

Producing battery packs that yield 800+ kilometers remains rough going

Traditional and next-generation electric vehicle battery companies have laid off hundreds of employees in the U.S. and Europe in the last couple of weeks, a symptom of a new industry malaise triggered by lower-than-expected EV sales growth. The layoffs are part of a broad move by the battery ...

Company announces new $3.5B plant

Livista Energy said on Thursday it plans a lithium refinery for electric vehicles (EV) batteries in Germany that should launch production in 2026 and has...

The Andean highlands of South America — where Chile, Argentina, and Bolivia meet — is also known as the "Lithium Triangle," as the region contains more than half of the world's ...

Scientists claimed that they have created an electrode that would increase the energy density of EV batteries by 10-25%.

Both companies aim to innovate and lessen the carbon imprint with a new generation of electric batteries.

This will make the charging time more similar to refilling a gas engine vehicle as it only takes minutes.
