Swedish University Developed Structural Battery with Carbon Fiber Anode |
|
|
As more vehicles are designed to run on electricity, and especially as batteries are required to provide longer ranges, the weight of the batteries becomes more of an issue. In some cases, the battery pack could contribute 20-25 percent of the total mass of the electric vehicle (EV). The need for massless energy storage is growing. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden saw this challenge as an opportunity to turn some of the car’s structural components into batteries them ……. |
