We kid you not, folks: Engineers at the Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg, in Germany, claim they have developed a lithium-ion battery that can be charged up to 10,000 times while still retaining 85% of its capacity.
If used in an electric car, it would last an incredible 27.4 years!
Replacing expensive batteries, whether it's after three or ten years, remains one of the biggest issues affecting electric cars, so this technology could boost sales by a significant margin.
Don't look for such batteries to become available overnight, but it's a promising development to say the least.
