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 battery would be repurposed or recycled rather than ending up in some landfill.
Several battery makers are trying to fix these problems, with Samsung SDI being one of them. The Samsung subsidiary has developed solid-state battery tech that can increase an EV's range to 600 miles.
Also interesting are the charging speed claims for other Samsung EV batteries. Samsung wants to make batteries that can be recharged in 9 minutes. As for the battery lifespan, Samsung aims to reach 20 years.
All of these would be significant upgrades for most EV cars. The problem is that some of these advanced EV batteries are more expensive to manufacture. Therefore, it might take years until they're available in more affordable electric cars.
