For my research i have found many similarities about the future of batteries in electric cars. the li ion battery is the future for the electric car. many of my sources have supported that fact but they all have different ideas on the battery life, the charging rate and the amount of current that it can hold. the main change that this new battery has over the old battery is that it uses silicon rather than carbon making it a better battery. if i had to add anything to this conversation is what is the price to make something like for the masses? if it is going to cost more then what is the point because yes it would be better in the long run but the American people do not care about that, all they want is cheap car that goes from A to B. America has lost all valve for craftsmanship; hard work means nothing if they can find a cheaper person to do it. That's the problem with tech in today's world.
