Mercedes-Benz has priority access to ProLogium's Gen4 solid-state cells under a new test agreement: 400 Wh/kg and 5–80% in 6.4 minutes. Both are cell-level figures — our maths…
CATL has started test production at its €7.34 billion cell plant in Debrecen, Hungary. Two lines are running, module assembly already was — but when series production of cells…
Slovenia's €43.9 million EV purchase-subsidy pot ran dry in August and the new government will not refill it. Roughly €25 million goes into charging stations instead — here is…
Yangwang's camouflaged executive sedan is said to be 5.5 m long and cost more than 2 million yuan. We convert that into euros, add EU duties and compare it with the U7's 658,000…
Fraunhofer IIS software now reads X-ray images of complete EV battery packs automatically, no disassembly needed. Our maths says one bay handles ~32 cars per shift — triage, not…
A right-hand-drive Toyota bZ3X has been caught testing in Thailand. In China the compact electric SUV starts at ¥94,800, about €12,150, and claims up to 610 km CLTC. We converted…
Geely unveiled a 2,250 kW charging station and a 12C battery in Ningbo, claiming 10–70% in 4 min 30 s. Our maths on the same figures gives an 8C average — and Europe's fastest…
EnBW's new Karlsruhe charging park puts twelve 480 kW XCharge C7 columns into regular service. Our maths shows the column is no longer the bottleneck — cost per 100 km at ad-hoc…
Sunwoda presented a 15C LFP pack that it says goes from 10% to 97% SOC in nine minutes at room temperature, and in 15 minutes at −20 °C. We ran the numbers: the average rate is…
Sunwoda promises 10,000 megawatt charging stations by end-2027 and a 15C LFP pack that charges 10–97% in nine minutes. Our arithmetic: 1,520 kW peak, but only 573 kW average…
Geely will present a next-generation charging system in Ningbo on 23 September, claiming 2.2 MW and four-minute charges — about 50% more power than BYD's 1.5 MW Flash Charging…
CATL and Octopus Energy are pushing battery swapping for European trucks. We ran the numbers — the minutes saved are small, but 96% efficiency could mean €2,000 a year per truck.
Numbers you will not find on a news site: real-world measurements, European charging prices and calculators that answer the questions buyers actually ask.
