This one is for the people who build cells, packs, BMS and thermal systems. AI data centers have quietly created a battery requirement that didn’t exist five years ago, and most of the specification is being written right now by people who...
You’ve probably heard the term “Battery Belt” over the past few years. It’s often described as the next major battery manufacturing hub in the U.S. — a region where battery production, supply chains, and innovation are rapidly converging. But...
Depending on the week—or the headline—EV charging infrastructure is either fundamentally broken or already “good enough” for mass adoption. We hear about five-minute fast charging just around the corner, while at the same time stories...
When we talk about breakthroughs in the battery industry, the conversation almost always starts — and ends — with chemistry. New cathode materials. Silicon anodes. Solid-state promises. Nanomaterials. 😉 When is there a chemistry that we can fast...
CES used to stand for “Consumer Electronics Show.” This year, someone jokingly called it the “Consumer Everything Show” — and honestly, that feels accurate. Who would expect a fusion reactor company at CES? Three years ago, when I...
This year, I attended the International Battery Recycling Conference (ICBR 2025) in Valencia — one of the most established global conferences focused on lithium-ion battery recycling, recycling technologies, and regulatory frameworks for batteries and...
I’ve just come back from two major industry gatherings — The Battery Show Europe in Stuttgart and the E-Waste World Conference & Battery Recycling Expo in Frankfurt. These events gave me a front-row seat to where the European battery industry stands...
✨ Looks like I’m officially an Aurelia Star 🤩 — and I couldn’t be more grateful. This recognition comes through the Aurelia Academy #UnlockYourTomorrow leadership program, created by the inspiring Dr. Angelika Berger-Sodian. What sets Aurelia...
Artificial intelligence is beginning to play a game-changing role in electric-vehicle battery management systems (BMS) — and I recently explored this in depth in my latest article for Electronic Design. As EV adoption accelerates, questions around battery...
Two weeks ago, I launched something very close to my heart: Electrification Academy — a new B2B knowledge platform for the electrification industry. The first reactions have been incredible — full of encouragement, tough questions, and fresh ideas. And...
“The only branch of science that I know with more BS published about it than AI is the search for UFOs.” 😅 — Dr. Lieven Vervecken, Founder and CEO of Diabatix Challenge accepted. I’ll try to do better! This quote from Dr. Vervecken...
Recently, I had the opportunity to chair and speak at the Excellence in Manufacturing Processes & Technology of Battery Cells & Systems conference in Barcelona, a three-day event that brought together industry leaders, innovators, and experts to...
