Can we electrify commercial vehicles?

Can we electrify commercial vehicles?

The UK Government’s ban on new petrol and diesel vehicles by 2030 sparks landmark change for the transport sector, which accounts for a third of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. However, the proposed ban only includes cars and vans, with the decarbonisation of other road vehicles remaining uncertain...

Driving beyond cobalt for EV battery technology

Driving beyond cobalt for EV battery technology

Today, most lithium-ion batteries use the chemical element cobalt as a foundation for their cathode material (the portion of the lithium-ion cell which determines storage capacity). Cobalt cathode cells provide longer-range performance and lower difficulty in charge measurement and management, when compared to other chemistries. However, the mining of cobalt has long been a hotly contested topic...
