What battery technology will replace Lithium-Ion?

The solution could be sodium-ion batteries, whose development has recently made astonishing progress. In the foreseeable future, they could replace the lithium-ion batteries currently used not only in electric vehicles, but also in smartphones and laptops.

Graphene batteries that could offer electric cars a driving range of up to 500 miles on a charge. Graphenano, the company behind the development, says the batteries can be charged to full in just a few minutes and can charge and discharge 33 times faster than lithium ion.

And on it goes ... todays new technologies are just stepping stones into the future
