Artificial intelligence is poised to add some juice to electric vehicles—by speeding up improvements in battery technology.
Researchers are moving closer to delivering batteries that feature improvements highly sought by engineers and marketers of electric vehicles: batteries that are safer, recharge faster and are more sustainable than the generation of lithium ion batteries now in use. Within five years, experts say, electric vehicles, or EVs, will reach price parity with traditional combustion-engine cars, thanks in part…
