A brief primer on electrochemical batteries1
What we know today as ‘lithium-ion’ batteries fall into the class of ‘electrochemical batteries’. For the battery to generate power the chemical process has to generate electrons, and for the battery to be ‘re-charged’ it has to store electrons.
The structure of the battery involves the anode (negative side), electrolyte and cathode (positive side). The current that the battery can generate relates to the number of electrons flowing across from negative to positive, and the voltage relates to the force with which the electrons are traveling.
Using the battery, that is, using your smartphone or driving your electric car, means that the electrons are flowing from the anode, through the electrolyte and to the cathode. Charging your devices means that you are forcing the process to occur in reverse, where the electrons are leaving the cathode, going back across the electrolyte and ending up in the anode.
Why do we have to know all of that?
Some of you might be like me and think—my last chemistry class was more than 20 years ago. The reason we set that foundation, however, is that it now allows us to think in terms of the following:
The different parts of the battery can be fashioned out of different elements.
Changing the mix of metals in the cathode, for example, may impact the energy density, speed of charging, heat dispersion or other battery characteristics.
Researchers can experiment with all sorts of different anodes, cathodes and electrolytes as they seek to optimise the characteristics of a given battery to its use case.
Now we can better understand the ways in which an artificial intelligence process can be utilised to seek to improve different characteristics of the batteries that we use.
Who wants electric vehicles to charge faster?
One of the many obstacles to the wider usage of electric vehicles is the time it takes to charge a battery vs. filling a tank with petrol. Since filling the tank is much faster, they opt for the internal combustion engine over the battery electric vehicle.
There is huge marketability for automobile manufacturers and battery-makers for every unit of time they can shave off of charging times.
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon used a robotic system to run dozens of experiments designed to generate different electrolytes that could enable lithium-ion batteries to charge faster. The system is known as Clio, and it was able to both mix different solutions together as well as measure performance against critical battery benchmarks. These results were then fed into a machine-learning system, known as Dragonfly2.
Dragonfly is where the process starts to get exciting—the system is designed to propose possible combinations of chemicals to be used in the electrolytes that could potentially work even better. Using this process during this particular time period led to six different electrolyte solutions that outperformed a standard one when they were placed into typical battery test cells. The best option showed a 13% improvement relative to the top-performing battery baseline3.
In reality, electrolyte ingredients can be mixed and matched billions of different ways, but the benefit of using the system of Clio and Dragonfly working together is that one can get through a wider array of possibilities faster than humans alone. Dragonfly also isn’t equipped with information about chemistry or batteries, so it doesn’t bring the ‘bias of previous knowledge or experience’ to the process.
Using AI to help the progress of solid-state batteries
While the aforementioned path involves improving liquid electrolytes, it is not the only critical area of battery research today.
If the flammable, liquid electrolyte is replaced by a stable solid, it’s possible that there would be improvements in battery safety, lifetime and energy density. However, finding the appropriate materials to facilitate building solid-state batteries that fit all specifications and that can be produced at scale is not a simple matter.
Researchers at Stanford have noted a particular process where they compile data on 40 materials with both good and bad measured room temperature lithium conductivity values. This particular characteristic is thought to be the most restrictive of all the different constraints on candidate materials. The 40 examples are ‘shown’ to a logistic regression classifier, which can ‘learn’ to predict whether the material performed well or not based on the atomistic structure. After the training phase, the model can then evaluate more than 12,000 lithium-containing solids and find around 1,000 of them that have a better than 50% chance of exhibiting fast lithium conduction4.
Progressing solid state batteries along the development path is therefore another clear use-case for artificial intelligence.
Conclusion: energy storage is one of the most important considerations for the coming decades
Having better energy storage solutions will help global society in myriad different ways. The classic case—there are intermittent power generation sources like solar and wind that can use batteries to equilibrate the flows of energy across time. However, I think we’d all love smartphones that don’t need a charge for a week or electric vehicle batteries with long range that can charge in similar times to what it previously took at a gas station.

Nio (NIO) | Attractive $10 vol.2Hi,
Technically speaking not the best criteria but not so bad either so I would like to share it as an idea. Combine fundamental analysis with technical, fundamental is your own thing but some technical viewpoints are:
1. The round number $10
2. Gap fill from 2020 June
3. Fibo Extension
4. Previously worked resistance level
Do your fundamentals, it should be a strong one because be ready to grab it from lower prices as well but to start building NIO positions it looks correct spot, at least technically speaking.
Good luck,
Vaido

Tesla - Recession poised to weigh on TSLA stock for longerThe next day after its earnings release for Q3 2022, shares of Tesla fell 6.65% by the closing bell. This move came despite record-breaking revenue being reported by the company, but one, which missed analysts' estimates. The company's report stated that the operating margin reached 17.2% and free cash flow exceeded 8.9 bn. U.S. dollars for the past 12 months.
In addition to that, the company said it would continue to focus on increasing production and development of its current projects. In the third quarter, Tesla produced over 365,000 vehicles and delivered over 343,000 of them, putting these figures substantially higher than those for previous quarters.
Overall, the earnings report was solid. But that does not change the fact a recession is underway, and the stock is down approximately 50% from its all-time-high value. While that looks like a bargain to the past, we do not think so. In our opinion, the increasing cost of electricity (or even its unavailability in some countries because of the energy crisis) will pose a short-term obstacle to selling more cars for Tesla in Europe.
Furthermore, with people's declining savings, we expect consumers' willingness to buy vehicles to fall dramatically in the next year. Indeed, we think this will pose another substantial challenge for the company in 2023. Because of that, we believe now is not the time to buy this stock; instead, we will stay on the sidelines and wait. Our views are based on a combination of fundamental and technical factors.
Illustration 1.01
The picture above shows the Tesla stock deep in the bear market territory, down approximately 50% from its all-time-high value.
Technical analysis - daily time frame
MACD is bearish but flattening. RSI and Stochastic are bearish. DM+ and DM- are bearish as well. Overall, the daily time frame is bearish.
Illustration 1.02
The image above displays the daily chart of Tesla stock. It also shows simple support/resistance levels. We will monitor the price and its ability to hold above/below the immediate support; if the price fails to hold above it, it will be bearish.
Technical analysis - weekly time frame
RSI, MACD, Stochastic, DM+, and DM- are all bearish. Overall, the weekly time frame is bearish.

TESLA - $TSLA - Head & Shoulder - Distribution almost OVER!!!!!When great trees fall, rocks on distant hills shudder, lions hunker down in tall grasses, and even elephants lumber after safety.
Soon Tesla will move from the head & shoulder -- down to its KNEES and that is when we will execute our entry for a long hold.
Sorry Elon, your Ponzi gig is up, you can't produce because you don't have materials and the ones that exist are over priced just like your vehicles.
Your stuck boo, your in a corner, stalemate, king cannot MOVE!
I presented this head & shoulder pattern on $TSLA back in July, before the Right Shoulder was complete and now we are on to the final stages.
I see a bounce occurring before heading lower.
On Monday - US holiday - we should expect lower volume and usually that means a sell off.
This view is on a weekly timeframe. I believe Tesla will wick below the neckline as it has in the past and then squeeze up and fill the GAP to $262.47 (1st target).
If the S&P500 shows strength mid October, prior to OPEX options expiry date, Tesla may keep trekking up the the second target which is in the $290 range before breaking the neckline.
Head and shoulder criteria:
1. Buying volume is diminishing and showed most strength on the left shoulder.
2. The head is much higher then the left shoulder.
3. The neckline fits the description of a proper head and shoulder pattern.
GOOODLUCK TRADERS!
TESLA Ahead of the first 1D Golden Cross since August 2021.Tesla (TSLA) confirmed the Bull Flag from our last analysis one month ago and broke out of it while holding twice the Higher Lows trend-line from the June 16 Low:
The last touch was three days ago and naturally that is giving the stock a short-term (at least) boost. The price completed the 1D MA50/ MA100 Bullish Cross last month but now is ahead of the critical Golden Cross formation (when the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) crosses above the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line)). If completed, it will be the first occurrence since August 2021. Technically that should be a strong bullish signal but the Higher Lows trend-line plays an equally important role. If broken the uptrend may turn into the (green) Rectangle pattern that has kept the price from breaking above 315.00 three times.
This is approximately where the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level is and if broken we can finally see the bullish rally completing a new Lower High at the top of the long-term Channel Down. A break below the Rectangle, can test the 0.236 Fibonacci as the next Support level. Keep an eye on the MACD (1W time-frame). It is still on a Bullish Cross but a new Bearish Cross could mean a new round of medium-term selling towards the bottom of the Channel Down, much like the Jan 05 and April 28 Bearish Crosses.

Dark Pool Buy Zones and Sell Short Risk: LCIDDark Pool buy zones tend to provide strong support for stocks running down. If a stock violates the lows of such support, the rebound tends to come quickly, erasing any sell short profits.
This young EV auto manufacturing company is near its IPO price range, which is strong support. The retest of the lows of this bottoming action doesn't show much downside potential for a strong sell short.
There is risk that LCID may gap or run down but then reverse quickly and move back up. Whipsaw reversal candles near Dark Pool buy zones can cause big losses for short sellers at this level.
Rivian Could Be Forming a RangeElectric vehicles have been in focus since the Inflation Reduction Act boosted green-energy incentives. Let’s check out Rivian Automotive, the truck maker trying to stabilize after a big slide.
The main pattern on today’s chart is a parallel channel forming between roughly $30.80 and $40. RIVN initially bounced at the low in mid-June before proceeding to a four-month high. It pulled back to retest that low in late August before rebounding to $40. The stock ended last week back near the bottom of the range. Will investors look for the recent low to provide support?
Next, stochastics are nearing an oversold condition. RIVN’s bounce in early September followed a rebound from the oversold low. Traders may watch the oscillator for clues again.
Third, in addition to the channel, price is trying to bounce at the 100-day simple moving average (SMA). That could suggest its longer-term trend is getting more bullish.

TSLA, broke the triangle, that points to lower prices, but...315 has been a very strong resistance to break for TSLA. On the chart you can see that the top box was built from the top of the breakout gap of Oct25,21 and the pivot point high of Nov4, 21, then we cloned it to establish the bottom box whose floor was the target of the correction, which was met to perfection.
Last Friday TSLA broke below an almost symmetrical triangle and although this portends further lower prices, it is possible that the rebound we are expecting from the SPX tomorrow Monday and/or Tuesday, may help TSLA to recover the inside of the triangle. There is support at 265 and 255.
We remain neutral at this time, but think that 315 will stand as resistance for quite some time.
EKI ENERGY SERVICES. its a great model business. as the new future is of EV sector, EVa vehicles and so on.., this stock will come in demand with many other automobile making company, to check their carbon offsetting. government will too focus on this sector, too make the the country pollution free.
currently, now its in demand sone(support level), it should rise.
good for swing trading.
and the best part of stock is- it recently launched its IPO, ipo was subscribed in a great manner, and within some time itself, it gave a good divident along with a stock split.
Lots of Things Aren’t Happening with TeslaLots of interesting things have been happening in the market lately. Today we’ll consider those, plus what isn’t happening in Tesla.
First, the S&P 500 knifed below its 50-day simple moving average (SMA) in early September. TSLA, on the other hand, bounced at its 50-day SMA.
Next, the bigger index saw its price ranges widen as volatility increased. TSLA’s, on the other hand, narrowed.
Third, the S&P 500 hit resistance at its 200-day SMA in mid-August and quickly fell back under its 100-day SMA. But TSLA managed to remain above its 100-day SMA three weeks ago and has spent the last week consolidating above its 200-day SMA
Finally, the S&P 500 hit a two-month low at the end of last week. But TSLA has remained in a tight range near its highest levels since May.
This leaves the electric-car giant in a potentially interesting spot about two weeks before the release of quarterly delivery numbers. There have also been reports this month about some big production gains as capacity comes online and supply-chain issues improve.

Tesla Gets TestyOver the past few years, not many companies have seen the hype that Tesla has when it comes to its stock performance.
Starting at $1.10 in 2010 and pushing up to the range of $1200 near a decade later (before the stock split), early investors have enjoyed monumentally unfettered growth in profits.
A side-effect of this historical growth has been undeniable euphoria. There is no better drug for a trader to experience. Even after Elon Musk sold large amounts of his shares, euphoria is what kept many retail investors loyally invested. The only reward to come was a loss of peak gains.
Although Tesla has more juice in the battery pack and could easily extend its value towards $520 in the months ahead, the pending correction will be monstrous and one that any investor should want to protect themselves against.
See related ideas below:
Tesla Prepares for Major Dip... (before a stock split was actualized, the waves showed that a return below $500 was very likely to come).
Tesla Returns to $50... (a supremely immature call. The current position of the pattern was also incorrect however, the retest level below $50 is very likely to manifest beyond 2023).

NIO SETUP LONGNYSE:NIO
NIO is thriving despite a faltering Chinese economy.
It has good recent earnings and is competing well with TSLA
and other Chinese EV's like XPEV In the meanwhile it
is making inroads in Europe, especially Scandanavia
They say buy low ( weakness) and sell high ( strength(.
NIO is weak right now as the chart shows. with price
below the cloud now sitting on an advance buy order
support with a low RSI. This is a buying opportunity
As ab aside BIO is said to be seeking a partnership
arrangement with a US Domestic EV company. Should
it find such agreement, it fundamentals likely would
get another uptick.

FSR Uptrending in Ascending ChannelNYSE:FSR
FSR is uptrending on the one-hour chart.
It is in the bottom quarter of the channel

It is at the multisession VWAP after
a small pullback down into the bottom of
