On march 20, the online edition of the journal Nature Nanotechnology published research from the University of Illinois’s Frederick Seitz Materials Research Laboratory. The group developed a 3D nano struture for battery cathodes to enable rapid charge batteries. A group at MIT produced similar research using graphine to achieve rapid charge capability in Lithium-Ion batteries. In contrast, the group...

Smith Electric Vehicles, maker of large electric utility vehicles that use LiFePO4 batteries, report that the longevity of the lithium iron phosphate batteries exceeds expectations. Smith, who use Valence batteries, find 80% capacity even after 10 years, 3000 cycles, almost 300,000 miles. Implications on fleet operating costs and residual value are dramatic.
