PRESSING CHARGES: EV INDUSTRY CHARGES AHEAD

Global electric vehicle sales are on the rise, leading to significant investments in battery factories worldwide. Despite this growth, supply is expected to fall short of demand by 40% in 2030. Most electric vehicles currently use lithium-ion or lithium polymer batteries, known for their high energy density. These batteries work by moving lithium ions between the anode and cathode to generate electricity. Key components of these batteries include the electrolyte and slurry used for coating the anode and cathode. The industry is also focusing on developing solid-state batteries that could revolutionize electric cars within five years. Advancements in technology aim to enable fast charging of electric vehicle batteries, potentially reaching 90% capacity in just ten minutes without long-term damage. This could significantly boost the adoption of electric vehicles and drive industry growth.
