Solid-state EV battery breakthrough from Li-ion battery inventor John Goodenough

Solid-state EV battery breakthrough from Li-ion battery inventor John Goodenough

Analysts warn that innovation in the lab could take 15 years to become a viable commercial EV battery John Goodenough may have done it again. Thirty-seven years after co-inventing the technical breakthrough that made lithium-ion batteries commercially viable, the 94-year old engineering professor has developed a solid-state battery he thinks will solve the high cost and […]

EV adoption will be slow, unlikely to reduce oil demand for 50 years or more

EV adoption will be slow, unlikely to reduce oil demand for 50 years or more

Earliest new EV battery chemistry available likely to be 2035 or 2040 Q. Why build North American pipelines, expand Texas shale production and the Alberta oil sands, if electric vehicles will replace internal combustion engine cars in a decade or two? A. Because EVs will only make minor inroads into global auto markets by the 2040s or 2050s, […]
