Green Car Congress

By comparison, realized capacity in a graphite/copper composite anode is only ~ 150 mAh g -1. Then, you can reduce the microstructure by rolling it, which is an extraordinarily cheap step to convert a microstructure into a nanostructure. The eutectic microstructure forms naturally because of thermodynamics. —Karl Kreder.

Tesla Model 3 vs Kia EV6 vs Polestar 2 vs Hyundai Ioniq 5: Which one is the best EV in Australia?

EV Central
