With the test batteries being made at Polaris labs seems Neah in right in the middle of the fast charging battery silicon better battery hunt...last company travel and announcements were looking in China and Abu Dabai...

According to the information that I have gotten from IHUB message board: Neah received 5 millions funding right before they went dark. Currently Neah’s staff are working on various prototypes, as well as working with Argonne lab in an attempt to secure a deal. With a battery 6 times more powerful than Tesla, Neal’s chance to catch a big fish is extremely promising. As a long term investor, we need to remember to send them the good wishes. After all, mind has the capability to help shape the outcome of future. Don’t you agree?

Good luck to ALL!




What Changed In The EV Battery Market In November
cleantechnica.com/2017/12/17/changed-ev-battery-market-november/

was revealed that SK Innovation, a major South Korean EV battery manufacturer, plans to invest 840.2 billion won (~$777 million) into an EV battery production facility in Hungary in early 2018.

Not that far away, BMW announced that it is planning to invest €200 million (~$237 million) into a new battery cell technology competence center over the course of the next 4 years. It will presumably be based in Germany.



Millions? Come on — get into the billions. China-based Contemporary Amperex Technology Co Ltd (CATL), one of the largest EV battery manufacturers in the world, is planning an IPO for mid-2018. It was revealed in November that the aim is to raise $2 billion for expansion, which would include two new production facilities to produce an additional 24 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of battery cells per year.



While the investment wasn’t broken out between vehicle production and battery production, it was also announced that Daimler is investing 5 billion yuan (~$755 million) into its EV development in China, alongside joint-venture partner BAIC, the largest automaker in China. This is part of Daimler’s broader plan to invest €10 billion (~$11.74 billion) into EVs by 2025.






It’s just one car. And it’s just an announcement and prototype. But Tesla’s unveiling of a second-generation Roadster with a 200 kWh battery pack sets a new high-water mark. Based on announcements to date, it seems there won’t be another production car out there with a larger battery pack when the Roadster comes to market. That giant battery pack contributes significantly to the car’s projected 620 miles of range, 250 mph top speed, 0–60 mph time of just 1.9 seconds, 0–100 mph time of just 4.2 seconds, and quarter mile time of 8.9 seconds (all of which are records).



The Tesla Semi prototype, revealed the same night, also implies a thing or two about Tesla’s current battery costs. No, we don’t have any precise numbers, but the Semi specs provided indicate that the batteries are far cheaper than major analysts were estimating, and electric semi trucks much more competitive than people had been expecting. Hence all the big pre-orders. It seems there must be some implications for other electric vehicles as well. ??



GM CEO Mary Barra, while announcing plans for a profitable line of fully electric vehicles by 2021, indicated that the company is targeting battery cell prices below $100/kWh by that time.



One of the most interesting stories of the month for me was one indicating that Google and Volkswagen are working together in the use of quantum computers for a variety of purposes, including a variety of EV purposes, including to “simulate material structures for high-performance e-vehicle batteries and new materials.”



Clearly, the biggest EV story at the moment is the Tesla Model 3. And the biggest story within that story has been production delays in recent months. Those delays have reportedly been due to problems with the battery pack production process. One piece of good news at the beginning of November was that Panasonic CEO Kazuhiro Tsuga shared that the production bottleneck was “now understood” and would soon be resolved. “This process (for battery packs) will be soon automated, and then the number of vehicles to be produced will rise sharply,” he added.

For its part, Tesla included the following statements in its quarterly report on November 1st:

“We continue to make progress resolving early bottlenecks related to these issues, and there remain no fundamental problems with our supply chain or any of our production processes. …

“Model 3 has been designed for manufacturability, so the car itself is not difficult to build. …

“Model 3 production process will be vastly more automated than the production process of Model S, Model X, or almost any other car on the market today, and bringing this level of automation online is simply challenging in the early stages of the ramp. …

“We currently expect to achieve a production rate of 5,000 Model 3 vehicles per week by late Q1 2018.”

Is GlobalFoundries old equipment the
GlobalFab on the XNRGI website?

Where is Sanjay and what is the new line of business...

http://www.electronicdesign.com/industrial-automation/globalfoundries-replaces-chief-executive-who-may-not-go-far

GlobalFoundries said in a statement that Jha “intends to work closely with the company’s shareholder, Mubadala Investment Company, to explore the development and build out of potential future systems businesses.” The company gave no other indications of why he had stepped down or what how these systems businesses could relate to GlobalFoundries.



Both Companies Enevate and Xnrgi are Gold Sponors

It does sound familiar seems progress has been made just not very publicly

Enevate key personnel has a similiar background as D Cuoto same prior employer its interesting the test video was done at Morris's Polaris labs, with Motarola background given Paul Sildo office in Abu Dabai and the owner ship of Global Foundries

Morris previously spent 21 years with Motorola. He recently served as vice president of operations at battery company Enevate.


GlobalFoundries spun out of Advanced Micro Devices in 2009. It is owned by Advanced Technology Investment Co., a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi-based Mubadala Development. Jha started work as CEO last month.


The company makes semiconductors for some of the world’s leading chip designers, including AMD, Qualcomm and Broadcom. It has factories in Singapore, Germany and the United State

Motorola, Teikon and Neah links or alumni......plus the ownership of the largest chip foundry Ne Xt terra like the Paul Sildo video...lots going on in Abu Dhabi.

The Neah video showed the batteries made on the silicon foundry chip equipment, it would seem if a company just upgraded its chip making equipment and was the largest (as called out in the video) chip making company that they could well use the older equipment to make the new Neah batteries.... NeXt Terra as in the title of the video.... coincidentally located in Abu Dhabi. (hardly a coincidence) and to top it off the Head of the company (Global foundries) is from Motorola Mobility....the same company that head of the Polaris Labs used to work for that just so happen to have an interest in (from the stickies)

the catalyst poisoning issue in long-term application could
not be overcome, there were no further updates about these

Former top Qualcomm and Motorola executive Sanjay Jha has taken a job as head of GlobalFoundries, an outsource semiconductor manufacturer based in Silicon Valley.

Jha was chief operating officer of Qualcomm before leaving in 2008 to become chief executive of Motorola Mobility. He ran the company until it was sold to Google in 2012 for $12.4 billion.

The missing link could be Polaris Battery Labs, Morris' new Beaverton-based manufacturing and testing lab that might even the playing field for U.S. battery companies.

The battery industry is "completely dominated by Asian companies, yet all of the inventions come out of the U.S.," said Morris, 57, who has acted as a consultant for battery startups since 2003.

Morris previously spent 21 years with Motorola. He recently served as vice president of operations at battery company Enevate.
