Batteries with “single-crystal electrodes” could power electric vehicles (EVs) for millions of miles — meaning their batteries would outlast other parts of the cars, new research shows.
The battery with the single-crystal electrode had gone through more than 20,000 charging and discharging cycles and had retained about 80% of its original capacity in that time. A typical electric vehicle can travel about 250 miles (400 km) on a charge, so the battery with the single-crystal electrode has a lifespan equivalent to driving about 5 million miles. For comparison, typical EV batteries today need to be replaced after about 200,000 miles (322,000 km).
If true, it would be stopped somehow in America. This kind of tech might save average people money. That can’t be allowed. We must work, consume, spend and also be strapped for cash eternallly, according to the rules set for us.
