Battery science, charging systems, automotive technology and the innovations reshaping the future of mobility.
Nickel helps give many EV batteries their high energy density, but where does it come from? We trace nickel from mines in the Philippines and elsewhere through refining and battery production, examining its environmental and human impact along the way
Where do EV battery materials come from? Explore how lithium, nickel, cobalt, graphite, manganese, copper and aluminum are mined and processed and their environmental and human impacts.
How is an EV battery actually made? Follow the journey from raw material extraction and refining to battery cells, EV battery packs, years of use and eventual recycling.
Sodium-ion batteries are moving from laboratories into electric cars. We examine CATL's latest technology, its advantages, limitations and what it could mean for future affordable EVs.
Solid-state batteries promise longer EV range, faster charging and lighter battery packs. With Toyota, Nissan, BYD and CATL moving toward the next stage of development, 2027–2028 could reveal whether the technology is finally ready for the road.”
What’s really inside a Tesla battery pack? We explore Tesla’s 4680 cells, battery chemistry, liquid cooling, structural pack design, safety systems, degradation and recycling and explain how thousands of cells work together to power an electric car.
Tesla FSD continues to evolve in 2026 with improved AI, end-to-end supervised driving and new collision-avoidance technology. Here’s what Full Self-Driving can do today, where its limitations remain, and what could come next with AI4 and FSD v15.
BYD’s Blade Battery changed how LFP batteries are packaged for electric cars. Now Blade Battery 2.0 adds LMFP chemistry, silicon-carbon anodes and extreme fast charging. Here’s how the technology works, what its safety tests actually mean and where BYD is taking it next.
From battery chemistry to charging infrastructure and the software transforming modern vehicles.
