#Emobility #Battery #Fichtner

In the first episode of Battery Generation we talk to Prof. #Maximilian #Fichtner, a German #chemist. He is an expert for state of the art #battery #materials for #electromobility. We asked him to display the #future #battery #trends that could lead us all towards a more #sustainable #emobility.

#Electric #Vehicle #markets in #Europe are rapidly growing. Many #manufacturers are already building #gigafactories to soon produce millions of #batteries for electric vehicles! Nevertheless, there are still critics who do not "believe" in the overall benefits that come with #EVs: The #range of these vehicles is still too short, #safety issues unsolved, #battery #recycling seems to be a problem, #cost #development is uncertain - and especially #sustainability matters remain unanswered. Is that true?

Well, our guest Prof. Dr. #Maximilian #Fichtner has a clear opinion on all these myths. "An electric vehicle is surely not the ultimate solution of all the world's current #climate problems. But, most of the popular #disadvantages of EVs, that are still being told, are fairy tales that might have been true 10 or 15 years ago", he states. "Neither safety, nor #costs, nor #material shortages nor #charging times will hinder #emobility from prospering. EVs are simply #environmentally more #friendly than #combustion #engine cars: "When you buy an electric vehicle today, you are most certain to less harm the #environment in a very short amount of range and time - compared to an ICE car."

In this #podcast episode we ask our guest Prof. Dr. Maximilian Fichtner which hurdles the #emobility has yet to take and of course, we wondered which #cell #chemistries are being used in future batteries.
