Global electric vehicle (EV) sales may be on the rise, with Tesla leading the charge as the dominant player in the sector, but the EV market is still quite small.
As automakers make significant progress toward rolling out more EVs in the coming decade, a move that is expected to transform the transportation sector and hopefully make a dent in a rising climate crisis, car manufacturers and battery tech startups are working to make batteries more efficient, less cumbersome, less expensive, and last longer.
This month, the company announced a new partnership with the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI), a British technology and innovation center, and the University of Warwick’s WMG, an academic department focused on knowledge transfer in engineering and tech, to cooperate on improvements in lithium-ion battery cell performance and manufacturing processes.
