Researchers from the University of Michigan have found that cracks in lithium-ion battery electrodes can help speed up EV charging.<\/h2>\n
Rather than simply shortening the lifespan of a battery, cracks in the positive electrode of lithium-ion batteries have been found to reduce the charging time of an EV battery.<\/p>\n
This discovery runs counter to the view of many prominent EV manufacturers, who aim to minimise cracking because it decreases the longevity of a battery<\/a>.<\/p>\n
