 “The Race for the Next-Gen EV Battery”: How the World is Transforming Electric Vehicle Technology

The electric vehicle (EV) revolution is underway, and the race is on to develop the next generation of battery technology to power them. As the demand for EVs increases, so too does the need for more efficient, longer-lasting, and more sustainable batteries. In this article, we'll look at the current state of the EV battery market, the recent developments, and announcements in this space, and how these advances are transforming the electric vehicle landscape.

The Current State of EV Batteries

The current generation of EV batteries is powered by lithium-ion cells, which are more efficient than their nickel-metal hydride predecessors. However, these batteries rely on imported minerals such as cobalt, copper, graphite, and nickel, which are often acquired through unethical means. To address this issue, the U.S. government has passed two new laws, the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which tie the USD 7,500 tax credit for EV buyers to certain requirements for sourcing of critical minerals and manufacturing of batteries. In response to these laws, automakers and battery companies are working to develop different ways to make batteries while decreasing costs, increasing energy density, and reducing the use of conflict minerals. Panasonic Energy has announced that in 2025 it will start making EV batteries from nickel recycled in Nevada, and GM is making a concerted effort to onshore or nearshore its supply chain. Lyten, a San Jose-based company, is working on a lithium-sulfur battery that uses graphene as a buffer between lithium and sulfur. This battery has four times the potential energy storage of nickel, manganese, or cobalt, and sulphur is dirt cheap and a byproduct of petrochemical operations. Overall, the U.S. government is pushing the electric vehicle battery industry to innovate and reduce its reliance on foreign entities of concern. Companies are working to develop new ways to make batteries that are more efficient and use fewer conflict minerals, and the new laws are expected to move the industry along.

Eco-Innovations in EV Battery Technology: In addition to the efforts to reduce the reliance on conflict minerals, there are several eco-innovations in the EV battery space that are aiming to improve the green credentials of electric vehicles. These include efforts to save aquifers from mining, modular design to make batteries easier to repair and reuse, and low-energy smelting to recycle old batteries. One example is Eramet's nanofiltration project in Salta, Argentina, which filters groundwater to extract lithium from aquifers with 90% yield rates, almost double the industry average. This reduces the need for virgin lithium and keeps more of it out of the dustbin. Aceleron, a UK startup, is working on a modular battery system that uses compression to reduce the need to bond components, making it easier to disassemble a battery pack for repairs, servicing, or repurposing. Connected Energy, a Newcastle-based firm, takes old EV batteries and combines them into stationary power storage units, and Umicore, a Belgian-based firm, has developed a cutting-edge recycling system that melts down the core components into a metal alloy and a concentrate. Finally, the Global Battery Alliance (GBA) is working on a battery "passport" that will track the management of social and environmental risks in an EV battery's life, from possible human rights abuses in mineral extraction to energy use in its production. This will allow regulators to track the environmental and human rights impact of EV batteries, and customers can make more informed choices.

Conclusion

The race for the next generation of EV batteries is on, and the world is making strides toward a more sustainable and efficient future for electric vehicles. With the advances in battery technology, EVs are becoming more efficient, longer lasting, and more affordable. This is leading to an increase in the adoption of electric vehicles, and the world is on track to reach its goal of reducing emissions and transitioning to a low-carbon economy. According to the UnivDatos Market Insights analysis, the surge in electric vehicle demand and the associated surge in new launches by the producers, along with advancing electric vehicle ecosystem and related infrastructure will drive the global scenario of the electric vehicle testing equipment and as per their “EV Testing Equipment  Market” report, the global market was valued at USD 80 million in 2022, growing at a CAGR of 18.76% during the forecast period from 2023 - 2030 to reach USD 340 million by 2030.
