24M, a U.S.-based startup, developed a way to prevent battery fires. Its Impervio separator prevents dendrite formation when a cell is overcharged. Electric vehicle battery fires are nothing to mess with. Even though they’re statistically less likely to happen compared to combustion-powered vehicles, when a battery ignites, it can stay on fire for hours or … Continue reading “VW-Backed Startup 24M Might Have The Answer To EV Battery Fires”
