battery chemistries
Battery chemistries are the materials inside a battery that determine how much power it can store and how long it lasts. Different chemistries mean different prices, safety levels, and how fast a car can charge.
Different types of chemical compounds used in rechargeable batteries, such as lithium-ion, solid-state, or nickel-metal hydride, each offering varying energy density, cost, and safety profiles.
