Battery repair and recycling

Electric vehicles (EVs) are facing some stiff headwinds in the market. Many are affected by depreciation significantly worse than that of comparable internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, the reluctance of dealerships to take them at trade-in time, along with escalating insurance premiums and some insurers refusing to cover them altogether, writes Peter Donaldson.

Deep Insight

Battery energy density

Nick Flaherty looks at strategies to get more power out of battery cells, which brings thermal management challenges. There are many ways to boost the energy density of an e-mobility platform’s powertrain. The materials in a battery cell can be improved to produce more energy, from silicon in the anode to new electrolytes. Solid state batteries under development, for example, can provide higher energy densities, stacking more cells closer together by addressing the materials and the packaging.
