Electric drivetrains enjoy many benefits. They are substantially more efficient and reliable thanks to their simpler and more compact design. They do feature more advanced components made from high-cost materials, which contributes to their already high pricing strategy. Another noteworthy benefit of electric drive units is that they are substantially lighter than a conventional ICE. Unfortunately, the weight of an average lithium-ion battery pack results in EVs weighing substantially more than your average ICE sedan.

More and more people are buying electric cars or considering one as their next purchase, but EVs do have a problem: the battery. The range for most cars isn’t where manufacturers and consumers would want it to be. Also, charging times can differ in speed, which can be a problem depending on what sort of trips you’re taking.
Then there’s the actual battery health to consider, as the battery will degrade in time, requiring an expensive replacement. That’s assuming buyers won’t rather buy a brand-new EV car.
The lifespan of an electric car’s battery also opens up environmental concerns. Ideally, that EV...

EV batteries with a 600-mile range and fast charging speeds are coming

Despite a parade of electric vehicles that can travel more than 300 miles on a charge, range anxiety remains a major hurdle to widespread adoption particularly in the US. There is, however, a “no-duh” antidote to allay fears of being stranded mid-trip: put a charger on the car. While traditional hybrid vehicles use gas to turn the wheels, a new crop of cars are burning it exclusively to charge a large onboard battery. It’s a strategy one might expect from an 8-year-old’s brainstorm, and it’s not a particularly efficient solution or a cheap one. But in an age of janky charging infrastructure and fraught, polarizing politics, electric motors juiced by an onboard, gas-sipping generator could be a killer EV app.

Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) are often considered the perfect bridge between traditional gasoline-powered cars and fully electric vehicles (EVs), offering you the best of both worlds and a way to dip your toes into the EV segment without diving in completely. With the ability to switch between electric power and internal combustion, these vehicles promise a more sustainable and cost-effective driving experience. However, despite their potential, many PHEV owners aren't really taking advantage of this because they simply aren't plugging the vehicles in.

Range anxiety is a huge issue for many—even in regular vehicles—but it is especially worrying in the EV world, where batteries typically only hold enough juice for between 200-250 miles, and they take up to an hour to charge again fully.
Having a battery that could reach back up to 80 percent...
