...goal for electric-car manufacturers is an affordable battery that can handle countless partial charge-discharge cycles over an eight-to-10-year life cycle. The battery has to absorb energy from braking and provide short bursts of power for acceleration.

One big problem: they can overheat and even blow up - bad enough in a single-battery laptop but potentially disastrous in a multibattery electric car. So engineers have been busy...
