Luke Workman is a complete maniac. He's also one of the world's leading lithium battery pack designers for electric vehicles, and he's come up with a revolutionary battery design that he says could ...

Vanadium flow batteries are one of the most promising technologies for large-scale energy storage, due to their long cycle life, excellent recyclability, and low fire risk. However, their uptake is ...

One of the big stumbling blocks preventing the wide scale acceptance of electric cars is dreaded range anxiety. With an average range of around 100 mi (161 km) per charge, all-electric vehicles still ...

-As we reported in an earlier article the pack is indeed a 2170 double stack. A 7 mm flat cooling plate is sandwiched in between the 2 layers of cells. Rivian’s solution to battery thermal management ...

Typically, the individual cells in a battery have somewhat different capacities and may be at different levels of state of charge (SOC). Without balancing, the cell of smallest capacity is a “weak ...

The quest for lightweight, compact batteries in power supplies and in electric vehicle is unrelenting, but researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety and Energy Technology ...

Paul Rako takes a look back at the transformer-based prototype built by the legendary Jim Williams and his compatriot Mark Thoren, which relates well in today’s burgeoning EV environment. 1. This is ...

DETROIT — To design its new bionic battery cooling plate, German supplier Mahle found inspiration in nature. The battery plate's designers studied the natural structures of a coral reef to figure out ...
