Several companies have built lithium-ion batteries that can fully charge in a matter of minutes. Their next goal: getting these into electric vehicles. LATE LAST YEAR, Formula E officials announced the specs for the third generation of all-electric race cars that will debut on the motorway in 2022. The new Formula E cars will be the first […]

The porous mostly-silicon films can hold more lithium ions and move them around super-fast. And they’re cheap. Battery makers have for years been trying to replace the graphite anode in lithium-ion batteries with a version made of silicon, which would give electric vehicles a much longer range. Some batteries with silicon anodes are getting close to market for wearables […]

Enevate promises charge times comparable to filling up the gas tank. By far the biggest challenge facing the widespread adoption of electric vehicles is the long time it takes to recharge them. Sabrina faced this when she took a Zero SR/F from Toronto to Montreal and back. The bike was excellent, but the charging situation, not so much. Even Tesla, […]
