Even with next-generation li-ion cells like those used in Tesla vehicles, it’s very difficult and expensive to get enough juice packed into such a small space. Volvo has been toying with EVs for a few years now, but the Swedish auto manufacturer has just announced a potentially revolutionary approach to designing electric vehicles. Volvo wants to replace some of the steel body panels in its cars with carbon fiber composite materials that can store power like a battery.

짧게 말하면 차체를 이용해 전력을 저장하는 방법을 통해 볼보는 무게 공간 비용의 문제를 해결할 것으로 보인다.

테슬라가 차의 바닥 부분을 베터리로 쓰면서 공간을 확보한 것에서 방법적으로도 기술적으로도 진보한 것이다.

전기차의 변신이 빠르다...
