Instead of lithium-ion batteries currently used in EVs, they are developing mechanically-rechargeable zinc-air batteries.
The researchers, who have filed for patents for this new battery technology, are collaborating with major industries to develop these zinc-air batteries.
They are economical compared with existing lithium-ion batteries and have a longer shelf life. Zinc-air batteries can be used in two-wheeler and three-wheeler EVs.
