Batteries in electric vehicles that regularly use 100-plus-kilowatts fast chargers degrade faster than those that rely primarily on slow charging, a new study suggests. Using fast chargers more frequently can cause some packs to lose nearly a quarter of their capacity in eight years, it claims. We've seen other studies suggest that fast charging has little impact on long-term battery health, so it's not a settled debate.

Connected Energy is developing what it describes as the UK's most advanced second-life EV battery testing facility as part of its first wholly owned and operated battery energy storage system (BESS) site. The project marks a step change in the company's strategy, moving from delivering systems for third parties to owning and operating grid-scale storage assets. The site will be located at Scottow Enterprise Park in Norfolk, close to Connected Energy's technical centre. Alongside its role as a commercial energy storage installation, the facility will be used to test the integration and performance of batteries from multiple electric bus and truck manufacturers.

Electric trucks seem to have hit a pothole recently, ignored by truck owners who say they're worried about losing too much ranging from towing. But what if the thing your towing could also pump electrons back into your truck's battery when all's said and done?

Martin Busche, in October 2025 you have been presenting several new solutions at Busworld. What exactly did you showcase? Martin Busche: What you saw in our booth is essentially our complete product range. Beyond what's displayed, we have further diversifications, but here you saw the full LFP battery pack family - a four-member family - and one of the NMC pack variants, the 6 AKM version. Our NMC family also includes a 1.80-meter 9 AKM pack and a 5 AKM pack, all featuring cylindrical-cell NMC modules.
