An EV battery doesn’t look much different from the one you have currently powering your smartphone. An EV doesn’t use only one Li-ion (lithium-ion) battery, though. While on the road, the motor turns this alteration into power. Li-ion batteries have been around since 1991, but only in 2008 were applied to cars.

When an EV is plugged into a charger, it can give back energy to the power grid or any other required places during peak demand and only charge when the overall demand is lower. According to Elon Musk, the concept is mostly ineffective without being combined with a home storage battery like a Tesla Powerwall.

Stanford University researchers have devised a new way to make lithium-ion battery packs last longer and suffer less deterioration from fast charging. It was later explained that the million-mile battery concept was not really a new chemistry, but just a way to operate the battery by not making it use the full charge range. Resources.
