We bumped briefly into e-Zinc of Canada a few weeks back and went back for a chat with its CEO James Larsen. e-Zinc is an innovative alternative battery start up, hailing back to 2012, but only getting its first real funding 2 years ago and followed that up with $25 million of funding for pilot manufacture this year. It is a hybrid battery with the charging cycle decoupled from its discharging cycle. Larsen talks about de-coupling power from energy. In effect the charging process is based on the well understood electro winning cycle used in mining circles to purify metals, and the discharging cycle is a zinc air battery. So these are on different circuits and are different reactions. What…
