Part 5/10:
The potential implications of this breakthrough are vast. For instance, Tesla has estimated that their batteries are meant to last for 300,000 to 500,000 miles, which translates to 150,000 to 200,000 miles of lifespan. With TUM’s zinc-ion batteries promising an immense increase in cycle life, it stands to reason that such batteries could keep EVs operational for far longer, possibly making them last well into their vintage years, with minimal degradation.
