ZapBatt CEO, Charlie Welch discussed batteries, solving climate change, and more. This is part two of our interview
Availability & sustainabilityCharlie mentioned that there were many technologies overlooked in favor of the race for battery energy density. Lithium titanate is one of these technologies.notes that these batteries are faster to charge than other lithium-ion batteries, but their disadvantage is having a much lower energy density.
“The two drivers of battery technology 10 to 15 years ago were really portable electronics like laptops and cellphones. They had the biggest budgets and were setting the requirements. And then early EVs. So, they adopted the main chemistries that we use today. Then all these other chemistries like lithium-titanate and lithium-iron-phosphate found niche markets, which are where I worked in the military.

Breakingviews - Battery group’s hit is red flag for heavy spendersInvestors in Belgian’s Umicore have sent a worrying message to heavy corporate spenders. The 8 billion euro chemicals and battery-materials supplier on Wednesday lost more than a tenth of its market value after pledging 5 billion euros of outlays over the next five years. The capital expenditures, roughly double what analysts expected according to Refinitiv data, are supposed to help the group meet rising demand for electric-vehicle batteries and their component materials. Chief Financial Officer Filip Platteeuw said at an investor event that Umicore could potentially raise equity to pay for the investments.
