The EV Transition Explained: Battery Challenges

Cars That Think

For example, the mineral requirements for an EV’s batteries and electric motors are six times that of an ICE vehicle, which can increase the average weight of an EV by 340 kgs (750 pounds). EVs require automakers to design new manufacturing processes and build plants to make both EVs and their batteries. Ford and its.
