Massachusetts-based 24M Technologies, an MIT spinout, has unveiled an electric vehicle (EV) battery that could cover 1,000 miles on a single charge, an innovation poised to redefine the auto industry. The battery leverages multiple existing technologies to achieve this extended range, far exceeding any current options in the U.S. market.
One of the most impressive aspects is the battery’s safety and sustainability. Using lithium metal and a unique Impervio battery separator, the design reduces fire risks and enhances safety. Additionally, this advanced battery is 100% recyclable, addressing environmental concerns surrounding EV waste.
This breakthrough could reshape the EV landscape by tackling range anxiety—a common hurdle for consumers hesitant to switch to electric. The extended range also boosts EV resale value, providing further incentive for adoption. With 1,000 miles on a single charge, 24M Technologies’ innovation marks a major step forward in sustainable transportation.
