To limit the range anxiety of electric car owners and prospective buyers, there is a concerted effort by OEMs, researchers and other stakeholders to optimize battery technology providing the penultimate joy to electric vehicle owners:
- Long range
- Faster Charging
Industry enthusiasts are hedging alternative innovations that promise to reduce the anxiety currently among electric car aficionados. Some innovations aim to tackle this problem at the vehicle level while other technologies seek to bring improvements to the charging infrastructure. Our observation points to R&D vigorously picking up in these areas:
- Structural changes in the battery architecture
- Improving the portability of charging stations
At the outset, it is broadly clear where the cost advantage and efficiency can be achieved. In optimizing battery technology, a mass-market scale is achievable bringing with it cost efficiency, finally resulting in convenience and long range for the end-user. By investing in solid-state battery technology, OEMs are looking at sustainable means that are not entirely dependent on scaling up grid networks in neighborhood which, by the way, is counter intuitive to the moto of electric mobility and environmental sustainability.
Notable stakeholders such as Toyota, Volkswagen through Quantum Scape and Tesla, among few, have stepped up their efforts to invest in technology and infrastructure needed for solid-state battery manufacturing that can pivot the electric car market to prominence. Come back soon for more updates!
