Boffins invent EV ‘power shell’ for increased range and performance

The idea of a multifunctional power suit may be common in superheroes like Iron Man, but what if an actual version of it existed? A team of researchers from the University of Central Florida (UCF) and NASA has designed a special power suit that’s giving “superpowers” not to us — but to our EVs. Made of layered carbon composite material and nanoscale graphene sheets, the suit works as a supercapacitor-battery hybrid device, able to store and provide energy. It’s envisioned to be used as a car’s body shell, which you can see in the image below: The cover of the…This story continues at The Next Web https://thenextweb.com/news/boffins-invent-ev-power-shell-for-increased-range-performance
