1-Battery technology and energy storage:
The current state of EV batteries:
Lithium-ion technology is the most widely used battery technology; it finds its application in different industries, such as mobile phones, laptops, and electric motor and implements its use on a large scale. Lithium-ion battery technology was introduced in 1991, and it was more reliable in terms of energy efficiency, energy density, and longer life as compared to the other rechargeable batteries. These batteries are lightweight and have more power as compared to their weight, but there are some limitations to this technology too, such as that they are more expensive, heat sensitive, and sometimes flammable. There are some limitations of lithium-ion batteries; they have limited energy efficiency as they only convert 80% of total energy into output as charging, and the rest 20% is lost in the form of heat during the charging process. Long charging Recharging time is another limitation of lithium-ion batteries, taking almost 2–3 hours. It can be time-consuming and inconvenient sometimes.
Innovations in battery technology:
Innovations have led to the introduction of efficient battery technologies such as solid-state and lithium-sulfur batteries, etc., which are sustainable and more reliable. Solid-state batteries utilize non-flammable solid electrolytes instead of liquid ones, which results in improved temperature tolerance and excludes the risk of catching fire. They have more charging capacities, which results in improved mileage performance and quick recharging features as compared to traditional rechargeable batteries. The development of lithium-sulfur (LI-S) batteries is also an important innovation to increase the performance of EVs. The idea of lithium Sulphur batteries was discussed in 1960 because of their low cost, higher energy efficiency, and compact design. They are more eco-friendly than lithium-ion batteries, as they contribute 31% fewer GHGs (greenhouse gases) to the environment. Other advancements include the development of silicon and lithium metal anodes, redox flow batteries (RFBs), solid-state electrolytes, and sodium-ion battery technologies. QuantumScape, is an innovative company that has implemented the use of solid-state batteries in EVs, because of the high energy density, fast charging features (charging almost 10-80% in less than 15 minutes), low cost, and safety of this technology. They claimed that EVs could get a mileage range of 400–500 miles by using QuantumScape cells.
