Evolution of Different Lithium-Based EV Battery Chemistries

The battery technology for electric vehicles (EVs) has evolved substantially over the last two-three decades. The evolution of EV batteries over the years has been such that any battery chemistry would have some level of deficiency that incentivised the development and deployment of new battery chemistries in the market aimed at overcoming those deficiencies. Typically, the strength of such EV batteries lies in offering good energy density, faster charging, operating for large number of duty cycles as well as operating for a wider range of temperature.
