A string of recent incidents in Texas, California, and Michigan shows how discarded car and lithium-ion batteries can damage garbage trucks and trigger fast-moving fires.

A Connecticut bill to extend home and community solar incentives through 2035 has cleared both legislative chambers and is awaiting the governor’s signature.

FERC staff say the U.S. will enter summer with roughly 75 gigawatts more generating capacity than a year ago, driven largely by solar, wind and batteries, though several regions still face extreme-weather risk.

A new IEEE-published study says a health-aware charging algorithm can adapt to battery aging and extend projected EV battery life by about 23% without increasing charging time.

A Sennebogen demonstration combining an electric wheeled excavator, a mobile battery, and a mobile shredder shows how electrification and semi-autonomy may converge in industrial equipment.

Even with limited source detail, the supplied Electrek candidate points to two clear pressure points in U.S. energy: anxiety over solar incentives and rising concern that data-center demand is colliding with household电力.

A new 500 MWh partnership between Alsym Energy and Juniper Energy will test whether sodium-ion batteries can carve out a durable role in hot-climate grid storage where thermal performance and cooling costs matter.

Growatt has introduced a new hybrid storage system for commercial and industrial users, offering multiple power configurations on a shared 261 kWh battery platform and support for multi-unit scaling.

Anker Solix has introduced a new residential storage unit built around 5 kWh of capacity, 5 kW of PV input and a modular expansion path aimed at plug-in solar users.

Battery technology company Nyobolt has raised $60 million as it pushes fast-charging, high-durability power systems into autonomous robots and other always-on machines.

Ride1Up has launched a moped-style electric bike built around a semi-solid-state battery, bringing a chemistry long discussed for EVs into a lower-cost consumer vehicle category.

Battery storage company ESS is moving beyond its long-duration roots and into the short- and medium-duration market with a sizable sodium-ion addition to its project portfolio.

A three-year, 60 GWh supply agreement between CATL and HyperStrong signals that sodium-ion batteries are moving from pilot-scale promise toward commercial energy storage deployment.

CATL has unveiled a new generation of battery technology that it says can charge from 10% to 98% in six minutes, intensifying the race with BYD over how fast EV charging can become.

A widely repeated claim that 70 percent of ferries on order used batteries does not hold up under closer scrutiny, but the corrected picture still points to a major shift in maritime transport.

A heavily stripped Tesla Model 3 reportedly bought for $2,000 still showed 212 miles of range, turning an internet stunt into a reminder of how resilient modern EV platforms can be.

A new scorecard highlighted by Utility Dive argues that state and local permitting barriers are keeping rooftop solar and home batteries slower and more expensive than they need to be, even as electri

A new technique using tiny amounts of gold aims to suppress short-circuit-causing dendrites in zinc batteries and extend operating life, though the supplied source text is limited.

SES AI, a Massachusetts battery company known for advanced lithium work, is shifting its focus toward AI-based materials discovery as its CEO delivers a blunt assessment of the Western battery industry.

Battery makers that expanded for an electric-vehicle surge that did not arrive as expected are repurposing major factory investments for energy storage and other markets, highlighting a sharp industry pivot.
