Show Notes
Canadas new trade deal with China could make electric vehicles (EVs) more affordable, with up to 49,000 expected to enter the market annually by 2030. However, battery fire fears persist due to high-profile crashes and the risk of thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries. Solid-state batteries, which replace flammable liquid electrolyte with a solid one, could significantly reduce fire risks and boost safety. Mercedes has already tested this technology, and Chinese company Chery plans to launch its first solid-state EV this year. Canadian researchers are also contributing to the development of safer, longer-lasting batteries.
