Electric vehicle (EV) naysayers frequently point to the unholy trinity of infrastructure, range, and price. Even if you’re an affluent city dweller with access to endless outlets, charge times still require anywhere from 15 minutes to 12 hours. That factor turns away many would-be EV adopters, but researchers at MIT may have found a solution to that charging conundrum.
In a paper published by MIT’s (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Donald Sadoway (along with 15 other authors from Peking University, Yunnan University, Wuhan University of Technology, University of Louisville, University of Waterloo, and Argonne National Laboratory), the Materials Chemistry Professor claims to have found a cheap solution to expensive lithium-ion batteries.
