A recent study by Chinese and US researchers has found that advancements in EV battery technologies will mitigate the impact of climate change on battery lifespan, contradicting concerns over the performance of batteries in high temperatures.

As electric vehicle (EV) use surges globally, scientists have raised concerns about the performance of such batteries in high temperatures, including the possible impact of climate change on their usable lifespan. But a study published this month by researchers in China and the US has found that major advances in EV battery technologies will mitigate the impact of future warming. They studied the impact by creating an advanced model that captures future climate change and EV battery degradation....
