In this new instalment of the Behind the Battery series, two German students came to Canada for one reason: to study at the Jeff Dahn lab at Dalhousie University. Now they are helping solve the global battery material shortage

Ever wonder what goes into building some of the world’s most advanced battery technologies? In the first part of the Behind the Battery series, Electric Autonomy visits the Jeff Dahn Research Group to find out what makes the lab so appealing to Tesla

Newly proposed regulation that arbitrarily caps the lifespan of EV batteries at 10 years and forces mandatory recycling risks stifling battery longevity innovation and promotes a disposable car culture, cautions Dr. Jeff Dahn

B.C.-based Moli Energy is renowned as a technology innovator that spawned great ideas and great talent — including today’s industry leader Jeff Dahn — then collapsed. Thirty years on, with potential growth in the offing, is its story again pointing Canada forward?

From his renowned research lab at Dalhousie University, the NSERC/Tesla Canada Industrial Research Chair speaks exclusively to Electric Autonomy on lithium-ion battery progress, vehicle-to-grid integration, hydrogen and more
