" I recently watched an interview which outlined a new battery chemistry which reduced nickel and cobalt and replaced those metals with magnesium which lead to a circa 30% increase in range. If this technology is proven beyond doubt battery range would increase to comparable distances with ice cars" Wombat2

Here is another new battery .... MIT
Every part of this battery uses different materials from anything currently available. Its electrodes (the parts at the ends of the battery which carry current into the circuit) are made from aluminium and pure sulphur rather than the complex metals and graphite electrodes of lithium-ion batteries. Its electrolyte (the part of the battery in the middle, which carries ions to and from the electrodes) is also different, being made of molten chloro-aluminate salts rather than the organic solution with lithium salts found in lithium-ion batteries.
In MIT's tests, this battery was able to fully charge in less than a minute!
BUT, the battery does need to be at 110 degrees Celsius to achieve this speed
but at least 10 - 20 years away..... or ???
