Tech bytes for tea?

Other than the current preference for Lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles (EV), Mathew Borst at Keysight Technologies gives the low-down on the pros and cons of alternative battery technologies and solutions for EVs.

The future of Electric Vehicles is underpinned by the development of EV battery technologies and solutions.

The automotive industry is undergoing a fundamental transition from internal combustion towards electrified powertrains.

This progression is currently going through some growing pains, but development of next-generation electric vehicle (EV) battery technologies continues to progress unabated.

Every week, news on solid-state, sodium-ion, or metal-air battery advancement is released.

Will one of these be the solution that catapults EVs to being the dominant market choice, or could it be a multitude of these solutions?

Lithium-ion is the current preferred choice of automakers for EV batteries, but it faces multiple limitations in its use in vehicles.
