Toshiba to develop SCiB battery for electric vehicles

Toshiba will be working closely with Mitsubishi Motors to offer the SCiB battery to electric vehicles (EV) in the near future, and we can only presume that this will happen in Japan first before any other country. The SCiB has been touted to be Toshiba’s breakthrough rechargeable lithium-ion battery, where it brings together high levels of safety with a long life and rapid recharging. Both characteristics are suitable especially for application in electric vehicles. The SCiB module that is currently under development will add to the overall durability of the battery over different cruising distances, where it also has another green slant to it by promoting the reduction in the waste that results from battery replacement. Will this make procuring an EV more attractive to you?
