We curate most relevant posts about Electrification & Battery Technology on LinkedIn and regularly share key takeaways.

This edition discusses various facets of the electric vehicle (EV) industry, highlighting both progress and persistent challenges. Several authors emphasise the crucial need for robust charging infrastructure, with discussions ranging from the sufficiency of 50kW chargers for daily needs to the rapid deployment of ultra-fast and megawatt charging solutions for heavy-duty vehicles. Concerns about policy unpredictability, the necessity of clear signage for charging hubs, and the waste of public funds on improperly restricted charging points are also raised. Furthermore, the sources explore innovations in battery technology, including the development of solid-state batteries, advancements in plasma cleaning for manufacturing, and the vital role of battery recycling and second-life applications for energy storage. The concept of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) bidirectional charging, offering energy management benefits and cost savings, is also a prominent theme, alongside the geopolitical implications of China's dominance in battery technology and the ongoing evolution of eRoaming standards for seamless charging experiences across different networks.
