Cars have been a vital part in human modern life around the world during the 20th Century. They have largely contributed for economic development that can be seen in all countries around the world. There is no doubt that the increase of communication and various technological improvement are brought largely by the automobile industry. This is particularly true in any country under development as is now being seen in Asia. Unfortunately the cars also bring, with the internal combustion engine, significant emissions which are largely responsible for city pollution. Here, the author describes how the development of high-energy batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) can bring a complete solution to help clean up the environment
