Batteries were made for a cooler world
The hotter the world gets, the more batteries we need. And the harder we make life for them.

📮 Batteries were made for a cooler world. What happens as it gets hotter?
Temperature affects storage, efficiency and degradation. As the climate changes, are battery projects built for the temperatures they’ll actually face?

🔋Tesla released a promo video on its cathode plant in Texas.
The installed capacity is at 10 GWh per year, but the plant is still in an early ramp stage according to the Q2 2026 investor letter.
Video shows standard processes, but claims are exaggerated.

"using plasma deposition, LeydenJar can - layer by tiny layer - make an ultra-thin pure silicon foil which resists cracking, allowing a significant increase in battery life, charging speed, and energy density (up to 50%, according to LeydenJar)."
🔋This is a nice overview into the battery startup scene around Eindhoven in The Netherlands.
Inspired by ASML, companies like LeydenJar, LionVolt and Powall are betting on various forms of “deposition techniques” to improve batteries.
