Professor Dave Debates

The Future of Car Batteries (Featuring Jill Pestana)

Episode Summary

Electric cars are the future, this much is clear. All manufacturers are switching focus and discontinuing production on many gas-run models. This bodes well for a future completely independent of gasoline and other fossil fuels. So how does a car battery work? What innovations can we expect from this technology in the future? Let's talk to Jill Pestana, a materials physicist that develops lithium ion batteries for electric vehicles!
