As electric vehicles become more integral in various regions, related technologies also continue to advance. Batteries, in particular, are a constant source of concern. In 2022, range anxiety is still a real thing—although it has definitely been improving, particularly on the car and truck side of the equation.
Lithium-ion batteries are currently the standard, although researchers are also investigating other potential technologies, including zinc-bromine and aluminum-sulfur batteries. As the current largest lithium-ion EV battery producer in the world, Contemporary Amperex Technology Company Limited (CATL) clearly has an interest in improving its bread and butter, lithium-ion battery tech.
