Sulfur-Based Batteries May Increase Range, Eco Credentials of EVs
Sulfur-based batteries are becoming one of the most talked-about ideas in the electric vehicle world. Scientists believe these batteries could one day help electric cars travel far longer distances while also reducing the environmental problems linked to today’s battery production. The idea sounds almost too good to be true, but research is already showing strong progress. Most electric vehicles today use lithium-ion batteries. These are the same types of batteries found in phones and laptops. They have been improved over many years, and engineers have pushed them close to their limit. A lithium-ion battery can only hold so much energy,…
