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.
