Stellantis Bets Big on Lithium-Sulfur: The Future of EV Batteries?

Stellantis Bets Big on Lithium-Sulfur: The Future of EV Batteries?​

New Lithium-Sulfur Batteries Promise More Range, Faster Charging, and Lower Costs...​

Stellantis is taking a bold step toward revolutionizing electric vehicles (EVs) by teaming up with Zeta Energy, a Texas-based battery technology company, to develop next-generation lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. This partnership could reshape the EV industry, offering longer range, lighter weight, and reduced production costs compared to traditional lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries.

 
Less volatile batteries in EVs is a big win. Some automakers haven't caught onto the fact that with a longer range, there is an increase in the anxiety of whether a charging station will be available at wherever the heck that place is so far from home.

I believe consumers want EVs, but they want to recharge the batteries on their own terms. People with a driveway or garage can have a personal level 2 charging station. Many apartment dwellers won't have the opportunity and need an alternative. This of course means having an onboard generator for charging. According to Toyota, the best way to test new battery designs is in a hybrid.
 
This current situation is really driving innovation right now in battery, storage, and capacity. Future generations will look back at this time and really appreciate the innovations that were born form this era, much like we think back to the innovations that were born from the war (cold and hot) eras of the mid 20th century.
