The issues of creating batteries that allow for extremely rapid charging, delivering range at a similar rate as fossil fuel refuelling is at the centre of creating the EV revolution.
The standard battery chemistry won't deliver this. Which means new innovative chemistries must be developed that provide the capacity for the extreme-fast necessary to make the EV revolution a reality.
I'm joined by Doron Myersdorf, CEO & Co-Founder of StoreDot, a leader in EV battery innovation to explore exactly what how these developments are taking shape

As the growth of the Battery industry grows at an unprecedented rate, so do the demands on the resources needed to support it. This creates something of a challenge; How does an industry whose existence mitigates the risk of climate change manage its own impact on the world?
I'm joined by Inga Petersen, Executive Director of the Global Battery Association to discuss how the principles of circularity and traceability are key to developing strategies that promote sustainability in the Battery value chain.
