Longer-lasting, Safer EV Batteries

At the University of Michigan, researchers are on the brink of a major breakthrough in electric vehicle technology. Their focus is on developing solid-state batteries that are not only safer by being non-combustible but also capable of powering vehicles for extended periods. This endeavor could dramatically enhance the efficiency and reliability of electric vehicles, making them a more compelling option for consumers and industries alike. The team's innovative approach involves the use of a new ceramic electrolyte positioned between the battery's anode and cathode, promising a significant leap in energy storage and longevity. This advanced material could enable electric vehicles to travel longer distances on a single charge, addressing one of the main limitations of current battery te ...
