Ford tells us about the F-150 Lightning electric pickup\u2019s frunk. Rivian is looking at Georgia for a second plant. And a battery maker is getting ready to mass-produce cells from recycled materials. This and more, here at Green Car Reports.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The Swedish battery supplier Northvolt announced last week that it has made a functioning EV battery using recycled nickel, manganese, and cobalt<\/a>. The materials are recovered through a process that can be scaled up\u2014potentially helping automakers reach sustainability and carbon targets and adding to the stability of the supply chain.<\/p>\n

The electric truck maker Rivian is reportedly considering a location in Georgia for its second U.S. factory<\/a>\u2014although negotiations haven\u2019t been finalized. If the IPO darling does choose Georgia, it would be close to what\u2019s becoming a regional hotbed for EV and battery production.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ford has told something of an origin story about the so-called Mega Power Frunk in the 2022 F-150 Lightning electric pickup<\/a>. It wasn\u2019t conceived just to fill out the expected hoodline; the automaker planned it out with actual Ford truck customers, to make it everything from a workbench to a vault for gear.<\/p>\n
