New-age battery chemistries

With the spike in automakers commitment to build more cleaner and safer cars, the hunt for new better battery options have also intensified. In the absence of standardisation, the area of EV battery is heavily ruled by lithium-ion chemistry till now. But, some issues like resource crunch, safety risk and cost concerns come hand in hand with the use of lithium. So, in search of a better replacement the researchers worldwide have diverted their minds to look for other battery chemistries that have the potential to overcome the lithium-related issues.

Let's have a look at some promising new-age battery chemistry that have the potential to power the huge influx of green cars that are going to hit roads shortly.
