The evolution of electric vehicle battery technology has been driven by deficiencies in older battery chemistries.
Lithium-based battery technology has become the market standard, but there are concerns over its long-term sustainability, sensitivity towards higher temperature etc.
And this has resulted in the development of various other battery kinds, such as sodium-ion batteries, graphene-based batteries, and a few other battery technologies that are outlined further.
Graphene-Based Battery
Graphene is a strong conductor for electricity & heat with a large surface area, extremely light, chemically inert, and flexible. It is also considered eco-friendly and sustainable.
Nickel Metal Hydride Battery
This battery has a longer operating temperature range, better lifecycle, recyclable nature, and is also resistant to overcharging.
Sodium-ION Battery
A sodium-ion battery is a rechargeable type of battery. This battery type is able to integrate sodium-ion cells and lithium-ion cells into one pack to deliver greater energy density.
Rechargeable Zn MnO2 Battery
Zn MnO2 is a type of rechargeable battery that has been developed by a research team at the University of Maryland. Zinc-manganese dioxide batteries are charged more quickly than lithium-ion batteries.
Solid State Battery
Solid state battery can handle more temperature that any other type of battery. It has 2- 2.5 times more energy density than that of Li-ion battery and recharge rate is almost 5 times more.
