Smaller EV batteries could deliver longer range, say scientists

Original: Smaller EV batteries, longer range? Scientists may have found a way

Scientists report a possible breakthrough that would allow electric vehicles to travel farther using smaller, lighter batteries. The claim, covered by Science Daily, points to new research into battery technology that improves energy density or efficiency, potentially cutting costs and weight in electric cars. Details of the method and whether it can be commercialised are not yet clear, but the prospect of cheaper, longer-range EVs is drawing attention.

Why now: Battery cost and range are the biggest barriers to electric vehicle adoption, so any research promising smaller batteries with longer range draws wide interest.
