Moving pictures: Researchers use movies to diagnose EV battery failure

Charging electric-vehicle batteries in Ithaca's frigid winter can be tough, and freezing temperatures also decrease the driving range. Hot weather can be just as challenging, leading to decomposition of battery materials and, possibly, catastrophic failure.

The loading of electric-vehicle batteries in the icy winter of Ithaca can be difficult, and freezing temperatures also decrease the practice. Warm weather can be just as difficult, leading to the decomposition of the battery materials and, perhaps, a catastrophic failure. For electric vehicles (EV) to be widely accepted, batteries [...]
