Future Electric Cars May Be Made Entirely Of Batteries | Crisp Green

By imagining the entire body of the car as one giant battery, designers of Sweden's safest car may have found a way to make EVs lighter and more powerful.
Batteries for electric cars are bulky and heavy. Adding batteries in to extend the EV's range, only makes the car heavier, which just requires more power to go the same distance as before.

In the interests of creating more power with less weight, engineers at Volvo have been working with scientists at Imperial College in London to develop a composite blend of carbon fibers and polymer resin that can store and charge more energy faster than conventional batteries can.
