GS Yuasa's new battery to double electric car range
Lithium-ion cells allow vehicles to travel nearly as far as gas-fueled cars
Japanese automotive supplier GS Yuasa has developed a new lithium-ion battery that can double the range of small electric vehicles taking their range close to that of conventional cars. The company has disclosed that it can begin mass production of these batteries as early as 2020 lithium-ion batteries that double the driving range of small electric vehicles.
The cells will be developed by Lithium Energy Japan, which is a joint venture company set up by Mitsubishi Motors and Mitsubishi Corporation. The batteries will be manufactured at the company’s factory in Shiga Prefecture and delivered to car manufacturers in both Europe and Japan.
The i-MiEV compact currently has a range of 170 km per charge and the new battery would increase this range to 340 km, which is comparable to that of a much bigger electric vehicle sporting a larger battery and almost close to that of a petrol car having a full tank.
One of the barriers to the large scale adoption of electric cars has been the lack of charging infrastructure and range anxiety. To an extent, batteries which can provide a longer range will help cope with this issue. The key is the price point and whether the price of the new battery will be close to that of the existing batteries.
Lithium-ion batteries supply energy as lithium ions are transferred between the electrodes. New composition of the electrodes can allow the new batteries to retain more Lithium ions.
GS Yuasa is the fourth largest supplier in the world of automotive lithium-ion batteries. While Japanese companies like Panasonic are some of the leading manufacturers of Lithium-ion batteries in terms of performance and quality, Chinese and South Korean companies are catching up fast.
With the demand for environment friendly cars increasing across the globe, GS Yuasa is set to emerge as a leader in battery technology with this new development.

October 29, 2015 6:10 pm Cambridge chemists make super-battery
A breakthrough in electrochemistry at Cambridge university could lead the way to rechargeable super-batteries that pack five times more energy into a given space than today’s best batteries, greatly extending the range of electric vehicles and potentially transforming the economics of electricity storage.
Chemistry professor Clare Grey and her team have overcome technical challenges in the development of lithium-air batteries — the only cells theoretically capable of giving electric cars the range of petrol and diesel vehicles without having to carry excessively bulky and heavy battery packs.

Tesla’s Elon Musk: More Gigafactory lithium deals to come, potentially Nevada
http://benchmarkminerals.com/blog/teslas-elon-musk-more-gigafactory-lithium-deals-to-come-potentially-nevada/
Tesla Motors’ CEO Elon Musk has admitted the company is pursuing lithium deals in Nevada.
Tesla is looking to add to the conditional deal it struck with Bacanora Minerals / Rare Earth Minerals and Musk was forced to admit last night on Twitter that Nevada projects are being considered.
Last week’s lithium supply deal with Bacanora from its Sonora clay project in Mexico was the first Gigafactory raw material agreement to be announced, a situation that has gripped the junior mining sector since February 2014
The development surprised many sectors of the mining and investment industries, however. Not only because it is one of the newer lithium assets on the market but also with Tesla’s willingness to back the higher risk junior mining sector rather than striking a deal with an established producer.
But this discussion migrated into the realm of politics yesterday with an article published by the Las Vegas Sun asking whether Elon Musk or the Nevada lawmakers were to blame for a Nevada-based lithium project not getting the green light.
Nevada is the only location in North America to mine lithium. Albemarle / Rockwood’s Silver Peak operation produces comparatively small amounts of lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide to the rest of the world – the latter being the product needed by the Gigafactory.
In response to the article, Elon Musk took to Twitter to defend Tesla.
Politics Editor at the Las Vegas Sun, Scott Lucas, questioned whether Elon Musk “played” Nevada after the state gave Tesla $1.25m in tax breaks only for the company to turn to Mexico for its lithium.
Elon Musk responded by explaining that the deal with Bacanora was “not exclusive” and it was “definitely” correct to assume that Tesla is also going for Nevada sources of lithium. This confirmed Benchmark‘s expectation last week that the Bacanora deal is just the start of a series of Gigafactory raw material deals to be announced by Tesla.

LG Chem To Become World's Biggest Electric-Car Battery Supplier? Could Be, Report Says
Aug 27, 2015
http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1099755_lg-chem-to-become-worlds-biggest-electric-car-battery-supplier-could-be-report-says
Three major companies compete today to supply the lithium-ion cells that make up the bulk of today's electric-car battery market.
Panasonic sells primarily to Tesla Motors, while AESC is a joint venture half owned by Nissan.
Then there's LG Chem, which sells lithium-ion batteries to quite a number of different car manufacturers.
DON'T MISS: Why LG Chem Leads In Electric-Car Batteries: Materials Science, It Says
That could allow the Korean company to surpass its rivals in the electric-car battery business eventually, according to a new report from Lux Research (via Charged EVs).
The research firm believes Panasonic is the current leader, with a 39-percent market share.
It also suggests that the Japanese company may expand its share to 51 percent between now and 2020--or maybe not.
The report claims Panasonic's reliance on Tesla as its main outlet for automotive lithium-ion cells may ultimately prove to be a disadvantage.
While both Panasonic and AESC have a high total output of electric-car batteries so far, LG Chem cells can be found in a much wider array of cars.
They are currently used in vehicles from Audi, Chevrolet, Ford, Hyundai, Renault, Smart, Volkswagen, Volvo, and others.

LG Chem is also expected to supply cells for the 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV--a 200-mile electric car that will sell for $37,500, before incentives.
Meanwhile, Panasonic will oversee cell production at Tesla's Nevada "Gigafactory" that will supply batteries for the carmaker's 200-mile, $35,000 Model 3, as well as for its line of home energy-storage products.
AESC--which uses battery technology from Japanese firm NEC--has gotten by so far supplying cells to the world's best-selling electric car, the Nissan Leaf.
But that company is falling behind in terms of cell development, Lux Research claims, potentially creating an opening for LG Chem to take its place.
Nissan's alliance partner, Renault, already gets some of its batteries from the Korean company.
Carlos Ghosn--CEO of the two carmakers--has said that Nissan might seek a new battery supplier for the second-generation Leaf.
The company entered talks with LG Chem late last year, but has said the matter is still open.
In addition to LG Chem and Panasonic, Korean electronics company Samsung SDI is also reportedly trying to increase its presence in the electric-car market.
Those "big three" are engaged in an all-out war over the segment, Lux Research claims.
Meanwhile, numerous smaller firms hope to carve out a niche as well, although the big Korean and Japanese companies will likely retain the largest share.
They're all fighting for a place in what could be a $30 billion business by 2020, according to Lux.
Secondary battery sales for EVs

LG Chem to supply batteries for BMW EVs
http://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/article/Article.aspx?aid=3001708
LG Chem is close to a deal to supply batteries for BMW’s hybrid vehicles in the future, according to industry sources on Monday.
Samsung SDI has been the automaker’s exclusive supplier of battery packs for its i3 electric vehicle (EV) since 2009.
But it appears that LG is penetrating into the secondary battery business for next-generation vehicles, in which Samsung has been performing well.
LG Chem and BMW will sign a contract in the first half of this year, the industry insiders say. LG is expected to supply BMW with batteries for next-generation hybrid vehicles, including micro-hybrid vehicles (µHEV).
Instead of using the 12-volt lead storage battery, which BMW’s EVs currently require, the µHEV uses a 48-volt lithium-ion battery to improve fuel efficiency.
Using high voltage as a power source allows automakers to operate not only engines, but also electronics, including navigation systems.
LG Chem signed a contract with Audi last August to supply batteries for plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and µHEVs.
If BMW uses LG Chem’s products, it would mean six out of the world’s top 10 automakers - GM, Renault-Nissan Alliance, Hyundai Motor Group (Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors) and Ford - would be customers of the company. About 100,000 units of Hyundai Motor’s Sonata hybrid, for instance, have used LG Chem batteries since they were introduced in June 2011.
“The ratio of using the 48-volt battery is increasing recently as a series of electronic control systems has been added to cars,” said an executive working at a foreign automaker. “The collaboration between BMW, the world’s leader in the electric vehicle business, and LG Chem, the world’s No. 1 battery manufacturer, will definitely create some synergy.”
LG Chem’s move isn’t good news for Samsung SDI, which has been supplying EV batteries for BMW while trying to improve its competitiveness in the market. Samsung Electronics’ Vice Chairman Jay Y. Lee, 47, has showed interest in the business by ordering BMW’s new PHEV i8, which will be introduced in Korea next month.
Competition between the two companies in technology development is intense. Samsung SDI generally produces a can-shaped, flat battery, while LG Chem manufactures pouch-shaped batteries that look like aluminum film. Both claim their technology is better.
“LG Chem’s pouch-shaped batteries are favored by designers of automakers because of their thin shape that can be installed inside a smartphone, while Samsung’s can-shaped batteries can safely store lithium-ion,” said a spokesman in the industry.
“I think the fate of two battery makers hinges on global automakers’ decisions.”

...."Maybe they will make all this clear when the merger happens ?! I would hate to think that WLC and LA would invest in a lithium processing plant in Jujuy with inadequate cooling.....but I guess if you are working at 10,000 feet above sea level that wouldn't be a big concern. Someone has got to explain this whole thing to me."
