VW explains why battery power will drive the future of transportation
(September 17, 2020) Chances are you might have at least two lithium-ion batteries on your body right now — one on your wrist, and one in the phone in your pocket. You may have multiple more if you’re holding a car key fob or have a pacemaker or any other electronic device. But do you know how those batteries actually work?
