Western Australia plans to build one of the longest continuous electric vehicle networks in the world and has committed $100 million to a previously-mooted battery to stabilise the power network. The State Government has also committed to buying 25 per cent electric vehicles for the state fleet when possible, a move that will involve installing EV charging stations in government buildings.
Even though China is ahead of the curve in this key sector, Tianqi Lithium, one of the largest global lithium producers in China, is on the brink of defaulting on a loan worth $1.884 billion. The company is in dire financial straits, at a time when the industry is heading for a bright future with powerful policy support.
Mexico is moving ahead with plans to nationalize its emerging lithium industry after a member of the ruling Morena party introduced a draft bill in parliament last week, which calls for the battery metal to be deemed the exclusive property of the nation, with production controlled by the state.
Volkswagen AG is accelerating development of a compact electric car that will cost less than 30,000 euros ($35,800) as tightening emissions rules and generous subsidies bolster sales of battery-powered vehicles, according to people familiar with the matter. The VW-branded car may be introduced as early as 2023, flanking the ID.5 crossover to be sold from next year as well as an electric iteration of the iconic hippie-era minibus slated for 2022, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing internal plans. VW is also working on a fully electric station wagon, dubbed Aero, with a battery range of as much as 700 kilometers (435 miles) to be sold from 2023, the people said.
Korea’s automobile exports suffered a setback in 2020 due to the spread of COVID-19, but exports of eco-friendly cars have climbed 12 percent compared to 2019. In particular, electric vehicle (EV) exports have soared 75 percent over the same period.

Volkswagen AG is at a critical juncture. It has weathered the pandemic relatively well but is fretting about cases going up again. It has electric cars rolling out but is well behind Tesla Inc. And it has massive manufacturing scale but desperately needs to rethink its vehicles as rolling software devices. It’s this last issue that Chief Executive Officer Herbert Diess drives home with VW’s more than 635,000 employees. The transition in competencies from industrial might to software prowess will be an immense challenge for automakers that are vast, deliberate and some say ripe for disruption. Car companies that get it wrong risk ending up like Nokia Oyj—failed hardware makers doomed by more nimble and technologically adept upstarts.

Preliminary half-cell trials of Renascor’s Siviour Purified Spherical Graphite (PSG) in silicon-composite anodes deliver exceptional electrochemical performance results.
The addition of silicon in graphite anodes offers the potential to improve the storage capacity of lithium-ion batteries, with considerable attention focused on developing an efficient next-generation, silicon-enhanced anode.
The silicon-enhanced anode test program, undertaken by next-generation silicon-composite anode developer Sicona Battery Technologies Pty Ltd, was designed to assess initial discharge capacity, the amount of charge delivered by a battery during its initial use.
The tests, which were an initial, unoptimised trial of silicon-enhanced anodes produced with Renascor’s Siviour PSG, returned significantly higher initial discharge capacity than graphite-only anodes (up to 81% higher).
Silicon-composite anodes produced with Renascor's Siviour PSG met or exceeded the performance of all reference natural graphite previously tested by Sicona, a result attributed by Sicona to the favourable crystallinity, uniformity and surface area of Renascor’s Siviour PSG.
As a result of these positive preliminary results, Renascor and Sicona plan to undertake more extensive full cell tests to further validate the viability of using Renascor’s Siviour PSG in Sicona's silicon-enhanced anodes, prior to conducting a commercial trial at Sicona’s planned pilot production plant in Wollongong, New South Wales.
Successful testwork using emerging Silicon composite technology builds on Renascor's previously demonstrated performance in conventional graphite battery anode technology testing.
