With sodium-ion batteries and vehicle-to-grid technology, General Motors' growth ambitions extend far beyond cars
What's Happening
Dodge parent Stellantis is exploring the viability of semi-solid-state batteries with real-world testing. Donut Lab claimed to have made the world's first production-ready solid state battery. An in-depth investigation suggests otherwise. After LFP and LMR, the automaker is betting on yet another battery chemistry type.
Why This Matters for EV Owners
The Bigger Picture
This development reflects broader shifts in the European EV market as charging infrastructure expands and new models enter the market..
Real-World Range Considerations
EVRoutes' route calculations account for real-world conditions. In winter, expect 15-30% range reduction due to battery chemistry and cabin heating. Pro tip: Pre-conditioning the battery before DC fast charging can improve charging speeds by up to 30% in cold weather.
What to Watch Next
As the EV landscape continues to evolve, developments like this shape the transition to electric mobility across Europe..
