The Evolution of Battery Technology: What’s Next for Automotive Applications?
Battery and automotive technology have been intertwined for more than a century. In 1912, as automobiles began to gain mass popularity, Cadillac developed the first starter motor. This innovation eliminated the need for hand cranking and required a reliable power source — a lead-acid battery. By 1920, most new vehicles were equipped with electric starters powered by batteries.
