The Latest Breaking News from lithium

Rivian’s refreshed EVs, the R1S and R1T, have dozens of meaningful improvements under the skin. There’s a heat pump, which improves efficiency, and several other tweaks that are meant to make the car easier to manufacture and ultimately cheaper for the end user, including a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery…

China is reaching new heights in diversifying the battery chemistries used in electric vehicles. The country is already leading in subcategories of lithium-based chemistries, like nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC), nickel-aluminum-cobalt (NCA) and lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP). Earlier this year, state-run utility company China Southern Power Grid even deployed sodium-ion batteries for stationary energy storage. Now…

Fire and Rescue NSW responded to 272 battery-related fires last year, while Victoria and Queensland authorities say they happen almost every day

Electric vehicles need batteries, and most batteries are made with lithium, a critical material European automakers are chasing as they face tough competition from China.

Another lithium mine has been shuttered as Mineral Resources looks to preserve cash, joining the ranks of firms trying to survive the battery mineral's slump.
