A groundbreaking discovery by researchers has opened the door to electric vehicles that generate more electricity than they consume. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Research led by Dr Flora Loips at the Aprilscherz Institut found that a new chemical compound, Ap1<\/sub>F4<\/sub>, could be used to create batteries that generate electricity themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While regenerative braking has been around for some time, allowing EVs to recharge their batteries when slowing down, this new technology also provides power when an EV is accelerating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some commentators have expressed scepticism about the finding suggesting that this would break the laws of physics but Dr Loips remains confident about her discovery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n She told us \u2018I have consulted a panel of experts on Twitter who all agree that the Second Law of Thermodynamics is very out-of-date. And these are good scientists who have been frequent commentators on Covid over the last couple of years before moving on to energy with the current oil and gas crisis.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n A groundbreaking discovery by researchers has opened the door to electric vehicles that generate more electricity than they consume.
