Samsung SDI has unveiled a prototype high-energy-density battery designed for electric vehicles (EVs) at the Detroit Motor Show. While the issue of environment pollution by vehicle emissions is being raised, the ‘LVS solution’ attracts attention as a means of addressing environmental regulations to control carbon dioxide as it can improve fuel efficiency by 3~20%. The new battery, which is based on lithium ion technology and can store up to 100 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy, will be used in EVs such as Tesla’s Model S Nam Seong, president of Samsung SDI, said: “We aim to lead the era of popularising EVs…Particularly, we will accelerate to make foray into the global automobile market including North America by providing the new high energy density battery cell based on the world’s top technology leadership.”
