The general public never sees these things, but it still reaps the benefits. A new technique to test electric car and hybrid car batteries more quickly might just be such a breakthrough, because it could allow engineers to know within weeks how a new battery chemistry performs instead of having to wait months or even years. A faster EV development cycle should drive down costs and increase the pace of innovatio… Read the full story on TreeHugger
