Firms in talks to field trial Al-air batteries in electric vehicles in India

Trials of aluminium-air batteries in electric vehicles could begin in India after Indian Oil, a minority stakeholder in battery developer Phinergy, began talks with a domestic vehicle OEM.

Depending on the outcome of the talks Israeli firm Phinergy’s technology could be tested in field trials by the unnamed electric vehicle maker.

LG Chem lithium-ion battery supply shortage causes halt to electric vehicle manufacturing

A shortage of lithium-ion batteries from LG Chem’s European gigafactory forced luxury vehicle OEM Jaguar to halt production of its I-Pace electric car.

Jaguar was unable to secure enough batteries from the Korean firm’s Poland factory to continue production of its £61,000 SUV at a factory in Graz, Austria, for a week from 10 February.

Rogue battery companies still a major concern when shipping lithium-ion by air

Rogue companies that flout regulations aimed at making the transportation of lithium-ion batteries safer continue to mar the industry’s reputation.

Mislabelled and misdeclared shipments of batteries remain the biggest threat when transporting lithium-ion batteries by air, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) has told BEST.

Lithium-ion battery anode pioneer recognised after missing out on Nobel prize

He may have been overlooked for a Nobel Prize in Chemistry, but the man whose technology rests in more than 95% of all lithium-ion batteries has been recognised for his work in bringing the chemistry to a global market.

Morocco’s Professor Rachid Yazami was given the Mohammed bin Rashid Medal for Scientific Distinguishment for his work in inventing a graphite anode for lithium-ion batteries.

Test quickens identification of EV packs for second-life use

A fast process for grading used lithium-ion batteries from electric vehicles has been developed by researchers in the UK using old packs from vehicle OEM Nissan.

The team from WMG, University of Warwick, worked with electronics firm Ametek to embed algorithms that can be used to grade second-life batteries.

IESA calls for lithium-ion battery tax cuts to match those of EVs and renewables

India Energy Storage Alliance (IESA) has called for tax deductions on lithium-ion batteries to help the country’s growing electric vehicle and renewable energy storage markets.

IESA has gone a step further in calling for a sales ban of internal combustion engine (ICE) two and three-wheelers in highly polluted cities.
