Scientists Developing Ultra-Fast Charging, High-Density EV Batteries

If I asked you what was holding you back from making the shift to electric, chances are I’d get all sorts of answers, with a lot of purists saying that electric vehicles don’t provide the same feel and character as a good old internal combustion engine. While I definitely agree with that—I really love my internal combustion motorcycles and cars—I’m starting to come to terms with the reality that EVs will be a big part of the future of mobility. This brings me back to my first question—but this time, framed from a practicality standpoint. Chances are factors like range anxiety, inefficient batteries, and long charging times will come into play. Having said that, technology surrounding batteries is accelerating at a blistering pace, with a lot of that tech taking place in colleges and universities focusing on the development of future tech. For example, in Pennsylvania…
