A new study by Prof. Jessika Trancik and postdoctoral associate Micah Ziegler examining the plunge in lithium-ion battery costs finds that "every time output doubles, as it did five times between 2006 and 2016, battery prices fall by about a quarter," reports The Economist. "A doubling in technological know-how, measured by patent …
How sodium could change the game for batteries
The recycling of used electric batteries offers huge potential that has barely been exploited to date. Legislators are also exerting pressure: If the EU Commission, whose new Battery Directive is to be transposed into national law by …
Prior to the Covid-19 crisis, global progress on energy efficiency had been well below the over 3% annual improvement needed in the IEA''s Sustainable Development Scenario. Primary energy intensity – an important indicator of efficiency – improved by only around 1.6% in 2019. ...

With the social and economic development and the support of national policies, new energy vehicles have developed at a high speed. At the same time, more and more Internet new energy vehicle enterprises have sprung up, and the new energy vehicle industry is blooming. The battery life of new energy vehicles is about three to six years. Domestic …
In brief Recently, China imposed a mandate on automakers requiring that electric vehicles (EVs) make up 40% of all sales by 2030. According to a series of MIT analyses, this move will expand the production of EVs and EV batteries enough to bring down the worldwide cost of both. Within China, annual sales of all… Read more
The cost of lithium-ion batteries for phones, laptops, and cars has plunged over the years, and an MIT study shows just how dramatic that drop has been. The change is akin to that of solar and wind energy, …
The growth of the world''s capacity to generate electricity from solar panels, wind turbines and other renewable technologies is on course to accelerate over the coming years, with 2021 expected to set a fresh all-time record for new installations, the IEA says in a new report. ...
Policy developments – Global EV Outlook 2023 – Analysis
Global EV Outlook 2022 - Analysis and key findings. A report by the International Energy Agency. The rapid increase in EV sales during the pandemic has tested the resilience of battery supply chains, and Russia''s war in Ukraine has further exacerbated the
Introduction In an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, electrochemical energy storage technologies (i.e. batteries) are being deployed to electrify transportation systems, and increasingly integrate intermittent renewable energy resources into the broader electricity grid. 1–4 However, the deployment of these technologies …
The History of the Electric Car
Sodium-ion batteries are reviewed from an outlook of classic lithium-ion batteries. • Realistic comparisons are made between the counterparts (LIBs and NIBs). • The challenges and potentials of NIBs are subtly highlighted. • …
With the rapid development of new energy vehicles (NEVs) industry in China, the reusing of retired power batteries is becoming increasingly urgent. In this paper, the critical issues for power batteries …
Trends in batteries – Global EV Outlook 2023 – Analysis
1. Objective1.1. Historical background. The history of sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) backs to the early days of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) before commercial consideration of LIB, but sodium charge carrier lost the competition to its lithium rival because of better choices of intercalation materials for Li.
A new study finds that investments in R&D on materials and chemistry were key, while economies of scale contributed somewhat less. Lithium-ion batteries, those marvels of lightweight power that have …
1. Renewables are Inexhaustible Energy Although fossil fuels are predominantly the source of energy, the reality is that they will eventually run out. And this is where renewable energy (wind, sun, and …
Introduction Investment in renewable energy generation has increased markedly in Australia over recent years, driven by a combination of factors including government policy incentives, elevated electricity prices and declining costs of renewable generation technology.
Prices of lithium-ion battery technologies have fallen rapidly and substantially, by about 97%, since their commercialization three decades ago. Many …
