There have been several recent developments in battery technology for electric vehicles (EVs) and power walls for homes in the USA. One of the most promising is the development of new fast-charging batteries by the Chinese battery company CATL. The company claims that their new Shenxing batteries can add up to 400 kilometers (about 250 miles) of range in just 10 minutes, which is faster than virtually all EV charging today. CATL plans to produce these batteries commercially by the end of 2023 and hopes that they will “open up an era of EV superfast charging”.

Another exciting development in battery technology is the use of sodium-ion batteries. Sodium is 300 times more abundant than lithium, making it far less expensive. In July, CATL announced that it had developed sodium-ion battery cells with an energy density of 160 Wh/kg, which is close to the energy density of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. The company plans to increase the energy density of its sodium batteries to 200 Wh/kg by the time production begins in 20232. Sodium batteries promise to have a longer useful life and faster charging times than other batteries, and could be 30 to 50% less expensive than today’s battery cells.

There are also other promising developments in battery technology, such as structural component batteries, carbon nanotube electrodes, and lithium-sulfur batteries. These new technologies have the potential to revolutionize EVs and power walls for homes by improving range, cost, and charging times.

There has been a boom in EV battery factory construction across North America. In 2019, just two battery factories were operating in the United States with another two under construction. Today there are about 30 battery factories either planned, under construction or operational in the country. Automakers and battery manufacturers have collectively invested and promised to invest close to $100 billion in building domestic cell and module manufacturing. Together, these companies promise to deliver an annual capacity of over 1,200 gigawatt-hours before 2030, if each factory reaches its maximum capacity. That’s roughly enough batteries for 18 million EVs. The surge in construction spending for manufacturing facilities is principally driven by construction for computer, electronic, and electrical manufacturing. The boom in this segment has not been offset by reduced spending on other manufacturing construction segments, which are largely consistent with long-term levels2. This rise in spending began in the months before the CHIPS Act passed, as many factors beyond policy contribute to construction spending. Still, the legislation has played a critical part in continuing and expanding this trend. The surge appears to be uniquely American—not mirrored in other advanced economies. This is an exciting time for battery technology and production in the US!

All you tree huggers with your global warming bullshit. Theres no such thing! this is the world deal with it. What does you want next, equal right for blacks, gays and women? How many abortions have your girlfriends had I bet plenty or are they all collecting handouts from the government? we need real leadership and shut this crap shit down, liberls wwith thier communism.
