New battery might forestall post-hurricane electrical car fires

A researcher has developed know-how that might forestall electrical car fires, like these attributable to saltwater flooding from Hurricane Ian. The know-how, an aqueous battery, replaces the unstable and extremely flammable natural solvents present in electrical car lithium-ion batteries with saltwater to create a battery that’s safer, quicker charging, simply as highly effective and will not brief circuit throughout flooding.
