EV BATTERY TECHNOLOGY
GETS A MAKEOVER
Think Greener, LLC is spotlighting a new solution looking to increase battery efficiency! Did you know that 40% of an EV cost is in its batteries? Not much has changed in battery technology over the past 30-years and this is all about to change!
Addionics is an EV battery startup company and sees big opportunities in this trillion-dollar market. Addionics focuses on the physics of the electric current collector within batteries at the nano-level locating space that was not yet utilized to make the battery more efficient allowing for more active material in a smaller space, increasing the range and decreasing the charge time!
This is what is going to help drive the EV market! Batteries that can provide… Continue reading
Think Greener – Ribe, Netherlands – April 26, 2021As our dependency for fossil fuels decreases and EV’s become the mainstream, the need for infrastructure increases. It is very important to get the infrastructure correct the first time! Building new EV stations can take longer than expected as a lot of planning and expense goes into implementation.
What if you could remove the utilities from the equation and install something very similar like a vending machine that directly plugs into the existing power grid to charge EV’s? This is exactly what E.ON and Volkswagen have done!
This solution avoids the need of pulling power directly from the grid, by storing it from a normal utility connection into its own integrated battery! For example, EV charging… Continue reading
Concrete has been on my mind lately as it is one of the most highly used commodities in the world, only 2nd to water, and having an extremely high carbon footprint. I love when a solution can add a dual purpose to an existing use. Well, guess what I am going to talk about today? Concrete, yes that is correct.
Researchers in Indiana are working with a German concrete manufacture to test a new solution for concrete! Concrete with embedded magnetized particles that could one day charge your electric vehicle while driving on the road! Wow… great concept that has been around for a short time but is now becoming cost effective with new breakthroughs. The magnetized cement promises to be reasonably priced with a… Continue reading
