Researchers at Hanyang University have determined that a minimum effective coating thickness of 2.5 nanometers is necessary for protective layers in sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) to suppress side reactions. This finding, published in Energy Storage Materials, provides a guideline for optimizing the cathode-electrolyte interface, potentially leading to longer-lasting batteries for electric vehicles. The study highlights the importance of precise thickness control in enhancing battery performance and cycle life.

AEye CEO Matt Fisch indicates that while lidar technology is progressing towards early deployments, true production-scale deployment remains limited. This poses challenges for ETFs focused on autonomous technology. AEye aims to produce up to 60,000 units annually and has seen significant growth in shipments and engagements. However, Fisch emphasizes that the industry is still transitioning from pilot programs to commercial revenue, with execution capabilities becoming crucial for success. The path to profitability is gradual, with expectations for the autonomous driving software market to grow significantly by 2035.

The rise in gas prices, now averaging over $4.40 per gallon, is driving increased interest in electric vehicles (EVs). College student Matthew Fuller switched to a used Nissan Leaf, saving significantly on fuel costs compared to his previous gas-powered car. EV sales surged in March, with new sales up 20% and used sales up 54% from February, despite the expiration of federal tax credits. Many potential buyers are now exploring EV options due to high gas prices, leading to a notable increase in inquiries about EVs and charging solutions.

- Rising gas prices, exceeding $4.40 per gallon, are driving more consumers to consider electric vehicles (EVs) as a cost-saving alternative.  
- Sales of new EVs surged 20% and used EVs increased by 54% from February to March, indicating a growing interest despite the lack of tax incentives previously offered.  
- While some EV owners report significant savings on fuel, the higher upfront costs of EVs mean it may take years to break even compared to gas-powered vehicles.
