The charging hub in question will initially have four charging bays set around two 400kW towers. It’s not the biggest hub, but given the speed and power of the chargers – Fastned says 100 miles of range in just five minutes – it’s unlikely that anyone will be waiting that
The transition to renewable energy sources is reshaping the global energy landscape, and solar energy is leading the charge. As solar technology advances, the demand for efficient energy storage solutions has also skyrocketed. In this article, we explore the top solar energy storage battery suppliers that are not only powering
German startup Voltfang is revolutionizing the energy storage industry by offering battery warranties that are independent of the number of charge cycles. This innovative approach challenges the traditional model where warranties are often tied to the number of cycles a battery undergoes, providing a more straightforward and reliable guarantee for
From pv magazine USA If lithium-ion battery fires are near impossible to completely prevent, then containing thermal runaway events is crucial. Battery energy storage system (BESS) supplier Viridi recently hosted a live fire demonstration to show how properly engineered cell modules can prevent flame propagation. “The real problem is not
Last Updated on: 17th November 2023, 05:31 pm A few years ago, when I first got an EV, I figured out pretty quickly how important infrastructure was. I had a first-generation Nissan LEAF, and there were basically no local chargers. This meant that instead of being able to

TerraPower Drives EV Batteries for a Second Life Solution As the world increasingly turns to electric vehicles (EVs) in the quest for sustainable transportation, two significant challenges emerge: the environmental impact of battery production and the management of used batteries at the end of their life cycles. In this landscape,
While the search for a buyer of the Swedish battery cell making business continued, there was no realistic prospect for a purchaser to assume control in the near term, bankruptcy trustee Mikael Kubu said in a statement on Thursday. “A gradual wind-down of battery cell production in Northvolt Ett will
Deutsche Bahn states that the new energy system—consisting of a battery storage unit and a photovoltaic (PV) array with a capacity of up to 250 kilowatts—can cover approximately one-quarter of the Leipzig depot’s electricity demand. The company expects the setup to reduce annual energy costs at the site by around
BayWa r.e., a global renewable energy developer, has recently sold its largest floating photovoltaic (PV) park outside China to a Dutch energy consortium. The Bomhofsplas project, located on an 18-hectare lake in Zwolle, Netherlands, boasts a capacity of 27.4 megawatts (MWp) and is capable of generating enough electricity to power
Scientists in Spain studied electricity demand data for the Kobe refugee camp in Ethiopia to optimize several minigrid scenarios, also integrating the use of electric pressure cookers. Their analysis showed that introduction of the cooker required an increase in PV capacity of up 68%. May 23, 2025 Lior Kahana
An Argonne partnership with a Minnesota mining company is taking waste from one battery production process and using it in another. Researchers investigate how to use mining waste in battery production. A geologist and geophysicist at Talon examine high-grade nickel core samples from the company’s exploration operations in Minnesota.
