Batteries
Batteries are the heart of electric vehicles, and continuous advancements in battery technology are critical for the broader adoption and success of EVs. From improving energy density and reducing costs to enhancing safety and sustainability, the evolution of EV batteries will shape the future of transportation.
Key Characteristics
-
Energy Density: Determines the range of the vehicle; higher energy density means the car can travel further on a single charge.
-
Charging Time: Time required to recharge the battery; innovations are focused on reducing this time to make EVs more convenient.
-
Lifespan: Number of charge and discharge cycles a battery can undergo before its capacity significantly decreases.
-
Safety: Includes resistance to overheating and reduced risk of combustion.
