This weight reduction can directly impact the overall performance of electric vehicles, enhancing their acceleration, range, and energy efficiency.
In the event of a crash or impact, high-strength polymers with good structural performance reduce the threat of deformation and fracture, minimizing the risk of leakage and exposure to hazardous materials.
Environmental Impact: Engineered polymers offer significant environmental benefits compared to the metals they are replacing, such as aluminum.
