Abstract

The environmental benefits of zero-emitting electric vehicles (EVs) are substantial, but the lack of a battery capable of providing the range and performance that would be acceptable to the consumer has proven to be a major drawback in their development. American, Japanese and European companies and consortia are actively working on producing advanced batteries that can help make EVs practical for everyday use.
