No that much more research is going into EVs, rather than ICE vehicles, the developments will keep coming – IMHO! For example: A new fabrication technique could allow solid-state automotive lithium-ion batteries to adopt nonflammable ceramic electrolytes using the same production processes as in batteries made with conventional liquid electrolytes.
