As India moves towards cleaner and sustainable mobility solutions, the potential and scope of electrifying the existing transport ecosystem is increasing significantly. The batteries comprise the core of most EVs and are often considered the backbone of the overall electrification trend.
As the cost of batteries continue to be a roadblock towards affordable EVs, researchers have started working on exploring the various alternatives to the existing lithium-ion batteries as well, in their bid to move towards cheaper and safer options.
Even in the context of looking for sustainable solutions, lithium-ion batteries come across as a potential threat to several environmental concerns coupled with supply chain issues, given the limited supply sources and the ongoing protests globally. Zinc-air/zinc-gel batteries which work in a very similar fashion, hence, have emerged as a potential…
