Here are some battery technologies that could allow the EV industry to move past lithium-ion

Lithium is an expensive metal, which is a big part of why the battery is the most expensive part of any electric vehicle.

Zinc-ion batteries are yet another attempt to make cheaper metals act as well as lithium does.

Na-ion battery batteries have a lower energy density than lithium-ion, but lower price may make them an option for budget-model cars.

Graphene batteries use a form of carbon to store and conduct electricity.

Toyota started the (still some time away) solid-state battery revolution in 2011 .

Semi-solid state batteries offer a possible compromise with many of the advantages of SSBs .

Toyota went all-in with hydrogen tech first , and now, even though it's not been as active as most automakers in the EV segment, it has spent a good chunk of its resources.

Lithium iron phosphate batteries are a variant of lithium-ion batteries that store their energy in a compound called “lithium.

iron iron phosphate’s are already a popular choice for EVs, home power storage, and municipal power storage.

LFP batteries are more fire-resistant than other forms of.
