Battery claims Battery claims May 16th 2025, Advances in silicon electrodes Claims of stable high energy density silicon electrodes. Silicon has suffered from expansion issues preventing their energy potential being practically realised. https://postech.ac.kr/eng/research/research_results.do?mode=view&articleNo=19085 May 14th 2025, GM says LMR batteries coming in 2028 The claim is that Lithium Manganese Rich batteries offer 33% energy density gains over LFP at comparable cost. Let's take that at face value and for the sake of argument call that $60kwh. That would make a 60kwh battery $3600. Add on the effects of weight reduction and that's 300 miles of range in a car where the battery cost really is no longer much of an issue. https://insideevs.com/news/759374/gm-lmr-battery-chemistry-ev-trucks-suvs/ May 3rd 2025, Batteries prices dropping as demand grows Contains an acknowledgement that the $100 kwh mark happened in 2024. This was meant to be ICE/EV price parity p...
