If you drive an electric car in the cold, you’re probably well aware of the reduced performance and range when temperatures fall below freezing. Even if you live in a warm climate, you may have noticed the same effect in your cell phone during a ski trip, with your percentage charge rapidly dwindling despite minimal usage. Scientists are hard at work improving battery technology, looking to increase capacity, speed up charging, improve endurance, increase safety, and, yes, improve performance in … Continue reading “Improved Lithium-Ion Batteries that Perform Better in Extreme Cold”
