While most batteries are traditionally metal-based, there are significant advantages to using polymers (plastics) instead, especially with recent advancements in polymer science that make using these materials in electric vehicle batteries possible.
Design and Processing Flexibility: The versatility of plastic opens up new avenues for battery design and integration within electric vehicles.

Take, for instance, using FEA for a metal-to-plastic conversion.
FEA allows a nonlinear analysis in plastic part design that provides a more accurate representation and can help to eliminate potential field failures or what might be unanticipated part performance.
