Breakthrough Battery Tech Promises 1,000-Mile EV Range and 190-Mile Charge in Under Four Minutes
24M Technologies has unveiled 'Eternalyte,' an advanced electrolyte it claims delivers a step change in ionic conductivity — the key factor in how quickly a battery charges and discharges.
The company says the breakthrough could power future lithium metal batteries capable of over 1,000 miles of driving range and add 190 miles of charge in under four minutes.
Unlike some cutting-edge battery technologies that require overhauls to charging infrastructure, 24M claims its solution does not rely on high-cost MegaWatt charging stations.
Instead, Eternalyte enables ultra-fast charging using today's setups.

The electrolyte also promises to solve one of the most persistent EV concerns: performance in extreme cold.
According to test data shared by 24M, the battery tech retains full capacity at 0°C and more than 80% at -40°C, addressing winter-related range drops that plague many current EVs.
Eternalyte is compatible with a range of battery chemistries — including lithium metal, silicon and graphite-based cells — and can be integrated into existing manufacturing processes, reducing adoption costs for producers and automakers.
24M Technologies, which has largely operated under the radar, is now positioning itself at the forefront of next-gen EV development — offering a potential breakthrough without demanding widespread infrastructure changes.
Though the company has not revealed full technical details of Eternalyte, it claims the solution is designed not just for today's EVs but for the battery demands of the next decade.

Why are farm goods holding up the India-US trade deal?
MUMBAI: U.S. and India trade negotiators were pushing on Wednesday to finalise a tariff-reducing deal ahead of President Donald Trump's July 9 negotiating deadline, but disagreements over U.S. dairy and agriculture remained unresolved. Why are farm goods imports sensitive in India? Agriculture and its allied areas contribute just 16% to India's $3.9 trillion economy, but sustain nearly half of the country's 1.4 billion population. As farmers remain the most powerful voting bloc, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government was forced into a rare retreat four years ago when it tried to push through controversial farm laws. The prospect of cheaper imports from the United States threatens to drive down local prices, handing the opposition a fresh opportunity to attack the government. New Delhi has traditionally kept agriculture out of Free Trade Agreements with other nations. Granting market access to the U.S. could force India to extend similar concessions to other trading partners. Indian rupee supported by hopes of India-US trade deal, weak US jobs data How do Indian and US farms compare? The average Indian farm comprises just 1.08 hectares, compared to 187 hectares in the United States. In dairy, the average herd size in India is two to three animals per farmer, compared to hundreds in the United States. This difference makes it difficult for small Indian farmers to compete with their U.S. counterparts. Farming in India remains largely unmechanized because small, fragmented land holdings leave little room for large machinery. In many regions, farmers rely on techniques passed down through generations, a sharp contrast to U.S. farms, where cutting-edge equipment and AI-driven technologies have raised productivity. Which products is US lobbying for? Why is India resisting? The United States is pressing India to open its markets to a wide range of American products, including dairy, poultry, corn, soybeans, rice, wheat, ethanol, citrus fruits, almonds, pecans, apples, grapes, canned peaches, chocolates, cookies, and frozen French fries. While India is willing to grant greater access to U.S. dry fruits and apples, it is holding back on allowing imports of corn, soybeans, wheat, and dairy products. India does not allow genetically modified (GM) food crops, while most U.S. corn and soybean production is GM-based. Dairy remains a sensitive issue in India, where cultural and dietary preferences strongly influence food choices. Indian consumers are particularly concerned that cattle in the U.S. are often fed with animal by-products, a practice that conflicts with Indian food habits. US, India push for trade pact after Trump strikes deal with Vietnam, sources say Why does India oppose us ethanol for blending with gasoline? A key aim of India's Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) program is to cut dependence on energy imports by blending domestically-produced ethanol with gasoline. Significant investments by domestic companies mean that India is now close to achieving its ambitious target of blending 20% ethanol. Importing ethanol would undermine those companies. The EBP also helps manage surpluses of rice, sugarcane, and corn by diverting them to ethanol production. Allowing imports of U.S. ethanol would be a serious setback for India's emerging distillery sector.

Volvo Cars delays scale production at new Slovak plant to early 2027
STOCKHOLM: Volvo Cars has pushed back large-scale production at its factory under construction in Slovakia to early 2027 from 2026 to optimise the Swedish automaker's product launch timeline, a spokesperson said on Thursday. The Gothenburg-based company, owned by China's Geely Holding , has not stated publicly which car will be produced at the plant in Kosice, other than saying it will be a next-generation Volvo model. The spokesperson said the decision was not made recently, but declined to comment on when it was taken. Earlier on Thursday, Polestar, also owned by Geely, said it would start producing its upcoming Polestar 7 SUV at the Kosice plant in 2028. The plant is expected to have an annual production capacity of 250,000 cars. In April, shortly after returning as the CEO of Volvo Cars, Hakan Samuelsson said the automaker was reviewing which cars it intended to produce at the factory, and that it would prefer to also build cars for other Geely brands there. Volvo Cars sales fall 12% in June, fully electric tumble 26% 'We need to look a bit closer into possibilities to get in other Geely brands there,' Samuelsson told analysts in April. Sharing the plant would 'be really good for us because, at the end, it's a cost that has to be carried with production volume in the factory.' Back at the helm, Samuelsson has made a number of big changes and cuts at the Swedish automaker, including cutting 3,000 white-collar jobs, launching a cost-cutting programme and slowing down investments.

Asia rice: India prices steady as demand remains subdued, Thai rice falls on strong baht
Indian rice prices remained unchanged from the previous week as demand remained subdued and supplies stayed on the higher side, while Thai rates fell pressured by a stronger baht amid weak demand. India's 5% broken parboiled variety was quoted at $382-$387 per ton, unchanged from last week. Indian 5% broken white rice was priced in the $375 to $381 per ton range this week. 'Demand is still weak, (as) buyers are only making hand-to-mouth purchases because they know supplies are ample in exporting countries,' said a New Delhi-based trader with a global trade house. India's state reserves of rice, including unmilled paddy, totalled a record 59.5 million metric tons as of June 1, far exceeding the government's target of 13.5 million tons for July 1. Vietnam's 5% broken rice was offered at $382 per metric ton on Thursday, slightly down from $383 a week ago, according to the Vietnam Food Association. Asia rice: Prices in India edge up as demand improves; muted activity seen elsewhere The association said Donald Trump's announcement about a trade deal with Vietnam on Wednesday has no immediate impact on rice production and exports in the country in the short term. 'For the longer term, Vietnam's move to open its market to American farm produce will encourage domestic rice producers to improve their quality and enhance their competitiveness,' the association chairman, Nguyen Ngoc Nam added. Thailand's 5% broken rice is quoted at $380 per tonne, down from $385 to $390 quoted last week. 'Prices have been dropping because of the strong baht while there has been very little demand,' a trader said. The supply situation remained unchanged with traders expecting more supply to enter the market around August. Meanwhile, despite good rice stocks in Bangladesh, domestic rice prices remain high, putting pressure on ordinary households already struggling with rising living costs. Traders and market observers say that while there is no immediate shortage of stocks, factors such as supply chain inefficiencies, high production costs and market manipulation have kept prices high.
