Earlier this week, researchers at the Chung-Ang University in South Korea announced that they had a breakthrough in charge speed and longevity by making precise modifications to a lithium-ion battery’s electrolyte.
Right now, more than ever before, investments are pouring into lithium exploration around the world, and much of the investment capital is being put up by our geopolitical rivals in the Far East namely, the Chinese Communist Party.
For those looking for a way to exploit the lithium revolution, which is being compared to the gold rush by some in the mining circles, there is another way, and it takes the concept of lithium production to a completely different level. There is no exploration. No drilling. No testing. Just install the facility, switch it on, and load the lithium for delivery.
Watching the EV cars of today competing against some of the best and fastest offerings from the internal combustion world has been as disheartening as I imagine it was for the people of the horsedrawn era when they first laid eyes on Henry Ford’s Model Ts. As much as they hated to admit it, they knew that their time was over, and another had started. But as a realist, I have to face the facts.
