The Next Generation of Electric Car Batteries Are Here!

from The Clean Energy Show · host Brian Stockton, James Whittingham

BYD has unveiled its second-generation Blade battery along with ultra-fast flash chargers that can take an EV from 10% to nearly full in under ten minutes—even in extreme cold. The batteries also charge significantly faster on existing fast chargers, which could make the EV charging experience much quicker even before the new megawatt chargers are widespread.

Starting at just $1 per month! We also talk about the opening of the massive NextStar Energy battery plant in Windsor, Ontario. The $5-billion facility is part of the growing EV manufacturing corridor between Ontario and Michigan and has already begun producing battery cells for electric vehicles. And in Ukraine, the country is rebuilding its electricity system in a way that makes it far more resilient to attack. Instead of relying on large centralized plants, the grid is shifting toward decentralized solar, wind, microgrids and battery storage—systems that are harder to destroy and faster to repair.
