Great initiative by @UmicoreGroup to organise such an intensive market analysis training for young @phd_destiny student. Thank you so much for making it happen. @DavidMerchin @JAuvergniot @C_MASQUELIER

An enriching time @UmicoreGroup part of @phd_destiny Market Intelligence training. Learned a lot, especially how to sometimes not think like a scientist, but as a battery manufacturer and consumer, important to remember in our industry🔋 ⚡️🧪👩🏽‍🔬

@BrigetteFortuin @UmicoreGroup @phd_destiny Welcome !

In the Tesla earnings call, from @baglino: Nearly half the Teslas produced in the first quarter had LFP batteries. As opposed to the persistent belief that nickel-based batteries will be two-thirds of EVs this decade.

@samjaffe The fundamental assumption seemed to be that the battery market would near-solely be driven by energy density. Instead cost and availability are playing a much bigger role.

Exciting to see @Johnson_Matthey teaming up with @EnvisionVirgin to deploy eLNO.

If Formula 1 is anything to go by this will be the start of a thrilling battery arms race.

We are about to start a golden era for battery technology.

As many stated before I can confirm from experience that Autopilot in the US works much better and smoother than in Europe.

Regulators risk out 🇪🇺 lives because they don't understand technology and ignore hard data.

At the same time, Quantum Space, backed by VW:
QuantumScape’s lithium-metal battery uses a solid ceramic electrolyte which Singh said is safer than a conventional liquid electrolyte.
