Electric vehicle batteries are the key source of juice to power the drive unit, but not all are the same.
Conventional EV battery packs are made up of blocks of modules, which contain cells within them (either pouch, prismatic or cylindrical shaped). Structural batteries are also emerging that embed cells within the vehicle chassis – eliminating the need for space-wasting module enclosures.
Cells are made up of a cathode (positive terminal), an electrolyte
