Panasonic’s New Powder-Powered Batteries Will Supercharge EVs

Panasonic's new powder-powered batteries could revolutionize electric vehicles by increasing range to 500 miles and reducing charge times to 10 minutes. The use of Titan silicon as a replacement for graphite in lithium-ion batteries shows potential for a 40% increase in EV mileage. The discussion also touches upon the challenges of battery swelling and reduced lifespan, as well as efforts to produce powder-powered batteries and source battery minerals domestically.
