BATTERY EVOLUTION, EV THAT RUNS TWICE

Efforts are underway to limit the performance of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles (EVs). U.S. startups and SoftBank have each devised electrode materials to double their capacity. The cruising range extends proportionally. The company aims to put it into practical use after 2022. There is a high possibility that technology can be diverted to all-solid-state batteries, which are said to be the favorite of the next generation, and competition for development is intensifying.
