Every new Volvo car now comes with a limited top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph), as Volvo Cars delivers on its promise made last year to introduce such a limitation and goes beyond regulation and legislation to help close the remaining gap to zero serious injuries and fatalities in traffic. Apart from the speed cap, every Volvo car will now also come with a Care Key, which allows Volvo drivers to set additional limitations on the car’s top speed, for example before lending their car to other family

If the UK is to remain competitive in automotive manufacturing it will need a gigafactory – soon. To secure the long-term future of 114,000 jobs in the industry we will need 130GWh or battery production capacity by 2040, according to the Faraday Institute. Two British start-ups, AMTE Power and Britishvolt, have now joined forces to lay the groundwork for such a project.

However, despite the merits, the integration of NASCION-type electrolytes in SSLBs is still hampered by the formation of a chemically unstable interface when it is coupled with a Li metal anode.
