EV battery swapping is dead in US, but China wants to make it happen

With the rise and fall of battery-swap company Better Place in 2013, the prospect of mass-scale swappable EV battery packs in the US fell by the wayside. Tesla abandoned the idea a few years later. The big problem (among many) was a lack of common battery standards across multiple automakers.

Fastned brings fast-charging to west Scotland

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

Propagation of lithium-ion fires is the real threat – pv magazine International

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
