Electric vehicles (EVs) are driving the future of transportation, with major automakers like Tesla, Ford, GM, and up-and-comers like Rivian making big moves to capture the growing market.
EVs are no longer niche products, and companies are doubling down on new models, ranging from luxury SUVs to affordable compact cars.
However, the race to improve battery technology has become the defining challenge of the industry.
Solid-state batteries, which promise faster charging times, longer ranges, and greater safety, are seen as the next big breakthrough, but mass production remains a hurdle.
Meanwhile, the environmental and ethical implications of sourcing materials like lithium and cobalt have raised concerns about the sustainability of EV growth.
To address these challenges, automakers are investing heavily in battery recycling technologies and alternative materials, aiming to create a truly green supply chain.
