The EU is going to prohibit new gas cars by 2035. But they question whether there will be enough batteries for EVs in 2035. They mentioned Lithium iron phosphate and sodium ion batteries. But they failed to state the obvious! The law doesn’t say everyone must buy a battery EV. They failed to even mention

An MIT Technology Energy Initiative study finds that storage can deliver carbon-free US grid. https://www.theenergymix.com/2022/06/14/storage-can-deliver-carbon-free-u-s-grid-mit-study-finds
I really like this all-in-one solar plus storage system which has both batteries and green hydrogen generation, storage and fuel cells. It’s expensive but everything is integrated into one package. https://electrek.co/2022/06/16/check-out-this-solar-green-hydrogen-mobile-nanogrid-with-a-level-2-ev-charger/
New hydrogen electrolyzer from Hysata https://youtu.be/2XhsQ7nuoRo Re: conventional electrolyzers, he said, “”…however, difficulties in production and storage, a long with inefficiencies, have stopped it from being a game changer.”” I don’t see what “difficulties in production and storage” have to do with this. Hydrogen is already being produced, stored and transported in massive quantities, albeit

This research from Canadian Dalhousie U. and Jeff Dahn says they developed a high energy density battery that could last for 100 years. The energy density is better than LFP cells. The problem is that it requires cobalt, nickel. https://electrek.co/2022/05/24/tesla-battery-research-paper-high-energy-density-battery-last-100-years/
This is an interesting new old battery chemistry, developed to be rechargeable. And now the company is selling a storage system to a customer. https://pv-magazine-usa.com/2022/05/16/urban-electric-power-pine-gate-renewables-agree-on-multi-gwh-battery-supply-deal/
Everything you ever wanted to know… This is Part 1 and there is Part 2. https://cleantechnica.com/2022/05/10/everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about-charging-an-electric-car-at-home-but-were-afraid-to-ask/
Cory Little Said, “.. batteries are an ongoing expense and an environmental catastrophe.” Batteries are heavy, and the cost is a large part of the vehicle. The battery tech is advancing, and the LFP batteries are capable of more than 3000 charge discharge cycles. 300 or more miles per charge times 3000 charges is a
