Sulfur Battery Tech Could Triple EV Range by 2024
Unlike conventional internal combustion engine vehicles that run on fossil fuels such as diesel, electric cars draw their power from rechargeable lithium-ion battery packs. A typical EV has hundreds of battery cells that can store electricity and dispense it to the vehicle’s motor to propel it. While this battery setup eliminates the need for fossil fuels and produces zero carbon emissions at the tailpipe, it limits the amount of energy an EV can carry. Compared to fossil fuels, EV batteries carry far less energy and would theoretically need to be “filled up” more often. However, since the average range for…
