Swedish engineers say structural batteries using lightweight electrodes would massively reduce battery mass

Tokyo has approved the auto giant’s plans for a mass roll-out of the quick-charging, longer-range cars by 2030

The South Korean tech giant says its new cutting-edge power pack charges in just nine minutes and boasts a 20-year lifespan

Lawmakers say the US should ban imports from the battery-makers because their supply chains are linked to Xinjiang and 'deeply compromised'

Solid-state batteries hold the promise of improved safety, a longer lifespan and faster charging compared with conventional lithium-ion batteries, but mass adoption remains some way off
