Technological advances in the development of batteries for electric vehicles have not kept pace with the rapidly growing demand for them, they said.

The source recalls that battery manufacturers from Japan and South Korea have developed new technologies and expanded production capacity, while automakers Wolkswagen, General Motors and Hyundai Motor are developing next-generation batteries and are planning to create their own battery supply chains. Recently it was revealed that SK Innovation will invest $ 26 billion in battery production for electric vehicles, in order to increase it fivefold over the next five years.
