Electric car battery breakthrough could ease range anxiety

The Telegraph  

A lighter, more powerful electric car battery that could ease range anxiety has moved a step closer following a breakthrough in technology. TDK, best known in Britain as a producer of cassette tapes in the 1970s and 1980s, said it had developed a solid-state battery with an energy density 100 times that of its previous model. While TDK will produce the battery for earphones, hearing aids and smartwatches, a scaled-up version could potentially power a new generation of electric vehicles, with its higher output boosting the driving distance achievable before recharging. So-called range anxiety has been identified as one of the biggest factors preventing drivers from switching from a car with a standard combustion engine to an electric model.
