VW Claims New Dry Battery Process Is Money-Saver

Battery technology is constantly evolving as scientists, and vehicle and battery manufacturers seek to improve battery technology that will lead to less expensive electric cars with longer range and faster charging times. In the latest development, Volkswagen says it has come up with a new dry coating process that will allow it to lower the price of its electric cars by several hundred dollars. Dry coating reduces energy consumption in the production of battery cells by 30%, which could lower the cost of electric cars by several hundred dollars per vehicle.
