As electric vehicles are projected to account for over 60% of new car sales by 2030, the demand for high-performance batteries will persist, with lithium playing a key role in this transition, even with the development of alternatives to lithium-ion batteries, such as sodium and ammonium-based technologies.
In electric vehicles, the batteries provides the power source. Its energy density, safety and service life directly affect the use cost and safety of the whole vehicles. Lithium ion batteries have a relatively high energy density and are widely used in electric vehicles [19, 20].

(Image credit: Zhiao Yu) “Most electric cars run on lithium-ion batteries, which are rapidly approaching their theoretical limit on energy density,” said study co-author Yi Cui, professor of materials science and engineering and of photon science at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
Sales of EVs increased by 975% between 2012 and 2017 and are estimated to account for 30% of the total market by 2030 . Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) are critical for the advancement of EV technologies, as they offer significant advantages over other types of batteries.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is funding a large research consortium called Battery500 to make lithium metal batteries viable, which would allow car manufacturers to build lighter electric vehicles that can drive much longer distances between charges.
The energy density of the batteries and renewable energy conversion efficiency have greatly also affected the application of electric vehicles. This paper presents an overview of the research for improving lithium-ion battery energy storage density, safety, and renewable energy conversion efficiency.
Recent Research and Progress in Batteries for Electric Vehicles
Li-air and Li−S batteries are not ready for application in cars, yet. A potential future candidate is the solid-state battery, which shall benefit from the use of a safe Li metal anode, delivering higher capacities and rate capabilities.

Mixing new and old lithium LiFePo4 batteries
@Osolemio Experience on this forum has shown that there is very little lose of capacity at 3 to 5 years so combining old and new should not be an issue in that time frame. For battery modules, it''s necessary to make sure they are fully charged before installing in series/parallel connections. It is helpful to have access to individual module cells for monitoring during charging.
Adding an alternator to your lithium battery setup
Yes, when you connect a Lithium Battery to your alternator the charge voltage will drop to just above the battery voltage and will only rise slowly until the battery is nearly full. The battery in this case is such a big load that it determines the outcome. You can liken the effect to connecting strings of lights to a portable generator. The more lights you add the dimmer they get. …
