Lamborghini patents new MIT technology that could replace cobalt in EVs

The newly developed battery could reduce the EV's reliance on scarce and expensive metals like cobalt. The innovative cathode is based on organic materials, offering a more sustainable and cost-effective alternative for powering EVs. Cobalt, a key component in most lithium-ion batteries, poses significant financial, environmental, and social challenges. As the demand for EVs grows, the need for cobalt alternatives becomes increasingly urgent.
