Supercapacitors explained - the future of energy storage? With Tesla’s battery day event not too far off, and their acquisition of Maxwell Technologies last year, I thought it was worth taking a closer look at what a supercapacitor is. Some believe that supercapacitors might be integrated into futur
Let’s talk about some hints that Tesla dropped in the last quarterly call around cell production, scaling manufacturing, and EV range expectations. And how Tesla is pulling something from Apple’s playbook.
If we want to replace fossil fuels entirely, we need to build batteries that can store enough renewable energy to power entire cities for much longer periods. With liquid redox flow batteries, there's a viable path forward for city-scale renewable energy storage. But where do we currently stand with
There’s been a lot of hype around solid state batteries for years now, but where do things stand today? And how much longer do we have to wait before seeing solid state batteries take hold in the technology we use every day? Let's take a look at the latest research, lithium ion batteries, and John B
Solar Power and renewable energy sources are getting cheaper by the day and in some cases are the cheapest methods for producing electricity. But there’s a major downside that needs to get solved before renewables can really take over.
Thinking of getting solar panels or already have them? You might be looking at a solar battery like a Tesla Powerwall, Sonnen Eco, or LG Chem RESU. How do they work? Why would you want one? How much do they cost? While there’s some good options available, there’s a lot to chew with this one. Let’s s
With Tesla’s recent purchase of Maxwell Technologies, I thought it was a perfect time to take a closer look at the current state of batteries and supercapacitors. As well as what supercapacitors are, why so many people are excited by them, and a wonder material, graphene, that could change ... every
