EU-funded scientists are introducing major breakthroughs in lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery technology that can spark widespread adoption of electric vehicles.
Low labour costs in Asian countries have enabled battery manufacturers to dominate the Li-ion battery production worldwide with low prices. The only way Europe can face this intense competition is to use innovative components, chemical technologies and manufacturing processes to produce cost-efficient, reliable and greener batteries.
