EV Mining Equipment
Miners are changin their fleets of heavy equipement to EV truck – electric or some still trialling Hydrogen. Electric trucks will come – as miners go electric and autonomous
Tesla 4680 Battery Details Updated
At the Cybertruck launch event, keen observers are looking at the specifications and comparing the 4680 battery with 2170 batteries used in various Tesla models. Will Tesla use the 4680 batteries in all of their vehicles?
Ten Cybertruck Features Disrupting the Vehicle Market
The official launch of the Cybertruck shows more than ten improvements that will flow into new and existing models of teslas. From use of stainless steel, to 48V wiring, steer-by-wire steering, a gigabit speed wiring system based on POE not CAN.

Baseload to Dispatchable – Transforming Electricity
Advent of big batteries changes electricity from synchronus (ie, generate and use) to asynchronous, i.e. store and use to match demand and supply. The grid will change from baseload and peaking to dispatchable renewables and variable renewables.

Elements in Batteries
The quantity of elements in a battery is shown in Visual Capitalist images. The quantity of graphite is up to 50% of the battery, but cheap, whereas other elements may be small but expensive.
15 Minute Charging Batteries from CATL
Faster charging batteries, better battery packs. The enhancements keep coming, not just from CATL, but other manufacturers of batteries, leading to a 20% plus increase in battery capacity per year.
Zero Emission Shipping by 2050
Shipping emissions were excluded from the Paris Accord, but the LMO has committed to zero emissions for shipping by 2050. The challenge is how to change an industry of over 100,000 vessels.
Hydrogen Buses Fail Economics
Real world examples where hydrogen fuel cell buses and transport systems have been deployed as “trials” and abandoned due to high costs and reliability.
Becoming Uninsurable Due To Climate Change
Have you had extreme weather as a result of climate change? Those extreme weather will mean you will be unable to insure your property from the effects of climate change.
Cheaper Hydrogen Electrolyzers Needed
Will the decrease in the cost of hydrogen electrolyzers be sufficiently fast to compete with other energy solutions? Will China drive the cost down fast enough?
France Solar Carparks vs Nuclear
France has passed a law to have all carparks, old and new, over 80 spaces covered with solar panels. The electricity is greater than 10 nuclear power plants, cost 1/10th and built in 1/3rd of the time.
Is $7B For Hydrogen Sheer Folly?
The passage of the IRA bill was enabled by politics and putting in expenditure to placate fossil fuel states and representatives. The $7 billion for hydrogen trucks is an example of sheer folly, but political necessity
Nickel Hydrogen Battery
The Grid Battery of nickel and hydrogen from Enervenue commercialising a NASA technology major advantage is extremely high cycle time and extramely low degradation over 2 decades.
Tesla 4680 Battery Ramp
The Tesla 4680 production has been growting at 21% per month since product launch. By the end of 2023, the 4680 battery will start deliverying the increase in cell density and cycle time as promised in 2019.
Concentrated Solar CSP Improvements
Concentrated solar CSP improvements are welcome, as many CSP plants were built 10 years ago but cheap solar panels have displaced CSP plants. Improvements are welcome.
