How Umicore is ensuring sustainability in the North American EV battery chain

Charged EVs

Total emissions over the lifetime of an electric vehicle are considerably lower than those of an internal combustion engine. Cathode active materials are not only a performance and cost driver in EV batteries—they are also a significant contributor to an EV’s overall emissions, so the cathode is in the spotlight of carbon reduction efforts.

A closer look at graphite—its forms, functions and future in EV batteries

Charged EVs

It’s really up to the battery manufacturers and the automakers as to which physical configuration to use, and then of course the internal chemistry configuration. They’re looking at every parameter and trying to optimize the performance that they’re after, and quite frankly, the cost. Charged : What about future battery technologies?

report by the International Energy Agency (IEA). Software also allows for the decoupling of the internal mechanical connections needed in an ICE vehicle, permitting an EV to be controlled remotely or autonomously. For example, output from the only nickel mine in the US, the Eagle mine in Minnesota, is sent to Canada for smelting.
