« Ford understood that mass production would mean the end of cars as a luxury item. 10 years on, motor cars had become accessible to most working people in the US » Julia Poliscanova. But today, mass producing ever larger batteries is self defeating: it leads to the gentrification of new cars and reversing the accessibility to most working people, not to mention the large carbon footprint of large batteries stranded into cars and mostly useless. The next Ford moment is to share these...

Nature’s editorial: « Batteries are crucial for Earth’s low-carbon future. It’s in everyone’s interests to make sure they are clean, safe and sustainable. »I’m adding: it’s also key to use them wisely, with the highest utilisation rate, rather than having very large batteries stranded into large (and heavy) EVs!An EV is used 5% of the time and long distance trips is 10% of that. The long range part of an EV’s battery is thus used 0.5% (!) of the time…EP Tender’s shared...

Here is an interesting piece of research from Castrol to identify the critical EV Challenges and conditions to be met in conjunction for mass EV adoption:1) price : <30 k€2) net charge time: <31 minutes3) effective range: > 469 kmLet’s translate this in battery terms. Assuming 20 kWh/100km average consumption on motorways, 10% to 80% charging, 160 Wh/kg (at pack level) and 130 €/kwh (at pack level):a) battery capacity (net) = 469/100*20/70% = 134 kWh (!)b) net average charging power...
