The article focuses on the use of electric vehicles and the challenges in technology to support its development and application as a substitute to crude oil in the U.S. It states that battery used electric-based vehicles such as lithium ion packs less that one twenty fifth the energy of gasoline, which leads to short vehicle ranges. It cites that Superlattice Power has announced development of a cathode material design to increase the energy density of lithium batteries.
