Challenges and Solutions in Electric Vehicle Battery Technology
The dominance of lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles is undeniable, despite issues with cost, safety, and environmental impact. These batteries have enabled the evolution of EVs but remain costly to replace, raise safety concerns due to their weight and fire risk, and have hidden human costs in materials sourcing. Cobalt mining in Africa poses health risks to workers. A potential solution lies in solid-state batteries, which some experts see as an alternative to address existing challenges in the EV industry.
