On June 30, 2021, KULR shared its breakthrough
recycling and prototype battery transportation solutions with industry and
government leaders at the 11th Annual Battery Safety Summit.
From the news: KULR recently
received two US Department of Transportation (DoT) special permits for the
transport of recycled batteries and prototype lithium batteries up to 2.1
kilowatt-hour (kWh). When shipping lithium batteries up to 2.1 KWh, the special
permit allows exceptions from shipping papers and employee safety training. The
special permit authorizes these exceptions based on using KULR's specially
designed thermally protective packaging which incorporates the Company's
patented Thermal Runaway Shield (TRS) technology. KULR's special permits mark
an important development for the Company as it continues to secure logistical
partners for air, maritime, and ground cargo transportation of lithium
batteries.
From the news: The Thermal
Runaway Shield (TRS), has been shown in multiple tests to prevent or minimize
the dangerous fires and explosions that can occur after a lithium-ion cell
enters into a thermal runaway event. KULR's TRS technology was selected by NASA
to transport to and store batteries aboard the International Space Station.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:
TSLA)
has been, for quite some time, one of the few EV companies in town but that is
changing as new entrants to market compete. Safety is becoming a larger factor.
The regulatory risk in Tesla’s largest market, the US, has heightened
considerably given a series of mishaps regarding the safety of Tesla’s EV
batteries.
A
recent article
chronicles the tangible rise in concern from the regulatory agencies,
culminating with the new 'souped-up' Plaid Model.
“Unlike
’19 and ’20, Tesla is far from the only EV in town, be it Boston, Beijing, or
Barcelona. There is significant potential for a valuation derating due to
sliding market share, particularly from Tesla's main growth vector, China.”
The
company is expected to publish its Q2 2021 results after the markets close on
Monday, July 26. The EV company has already provided delivery figures for the
quarter, noting that it sold a record 201,250 vehicles, a sequential increase
of 9% and a year-over-year increase of about 130%.
The Company plans
to open up its network of superchargers to other electric vehicles later this
year, CEO Elon Musk said recently on Twitter.
Enovix
Corporation
(NASDAQ
GS:ENVX),
the leader in the design and manufacture of next generation 3D Silicon™
Lithium-ion batteries, recently
announced
a contract award with General Technical Services under DOTC-17-01-INIT1218
Advanced Power Systems Technologies with the Department of Defense to
demonstrate safe and efficient advanced lithium-ion battery technology to the
U.S. Army. This contract was awarded in conjunction with Inventus Power, a
leading provider of advanced battery and power systems that specializes in the
design and manufacture of Li-ion battery packs, smart chargers, and efficient
power supplies. The application for the Enovix batteries is the WarFighter
centralized power source, used to power worn and carried equipment within the
soldier ensemble. Enovix believes that the total U.S. wearable military battery
market is approximately $350M annually based on currently established military
programs.
“President Biden’s recent executive order
calls for a comprehensive review of US supply chains to identify
vulnerabilities and risks, and lithium-ion batteries are imperative to our
military and national security,” said Cam Dales, General Manager and Chief
Commercial Officer at Enovix. “In addition to our demonstrated product
performance and ability to manufacture at scale, we understand that the
Department of Defense greatly values our ability to produce our advanced
lithium-ion batteries in the U.S. in order to secure the supply chain for
mission-critical power sources to power the most advanced defense force in
history.”
From the news: US soldiers carry
more than 60 pounds of gear including more than 15 pounds of batteries to power
critical equipment—from weapons to newer technologies using smartphones,
tablets, and GPS—and traditionally those batteries have been developed and
sourced internationally. Since 2011, the US Army has been provided with slim
and light batteries that can last through a three-day mission, solving two
issues that soldiers were previously faced with: carrying too much weight and
having an efficient power source.
Kandi
Technologies Group, Inc. (NASDAQ
GS: KNDI),
another player in the battery space, recently
announced
the expansion of its battery cell business with the acquisition of a leading
cell producer in Jiangxi Province, China. Kandi is a leader in electric
vehicles and associated parts, including the cell business of subsidiary Ankao
and the intelligent battery exchange system, so this acquisition is a natural
fit to its vertical integration strategy. The company to be acquired, Jiangxi
Province Huiyi New Energy Co., Ltd., produces approximately 90 million 18650
lithium-ion rechargeable cells annually. The cells have a variety of
applications, especially in consumer products. Kandi intends to further grow
its cell business by using the newly acquired technology to address many new
applications, eventually including EV battery packs.
Mr. Hu Xiaoming, Chairman and CEO of Kandi
commented, “With the rapid growth of new forms of electric propulsion mobility,
the battery industry is literally in its infancy. Whether it is classic pure-EV
automobiles, recreational products like hoverboards, or the air transportation
of the future, eVTOLS, the need for powerful, safe, and reliable battery
storage will grow exponentially over the coming decades. Kandi already has
significant expertise in electric propulsion, so this acquisition is the first
step to take our expertise and market presence to the next level. Jiangxi Huiyi
is already a high volume, profitable producer. Under Kandi’s ownership, we
intend to grow volume and market share by leveraging their technology to
address many emerging applications.”
CNBC
recently reported
on some of the recent vehicle fires from the Chevy Bolt EV and Telsa Plaid,
saying, “The fire is the most recent to highlight an ongoing concern of
automakers and vehicle safety watch dogs as companies release an
influx of new electric vehicles in the coming years. Automakers have
continually touted the environmental benefits of EVs, however, the lithium-ion
batteries that power the vehicles can be dangerous and result in significant
chemical fires if something goes wrong.”
With so many new electric vehicles, devices
and yes...now spaceships all coming down the industrial pipeline at breakneck
speed, battery developers are realizing the need to up their game with regards
to innovation and efficiency. Safety can no longer take a backseat to speed to
market as the number of EV’s coming to market raises serious concerns.
