Zinc-Air Batteries Are Light, Cheap, Green—Are They Ready for Cars?

Zinc-Air Batteries Are Light, Cheap, Green Are They Ready for Cars? Frank Markus © Motor Trend Staff Thunderzee Zinc Air Battery It won t come as a surprise to you that the lithium used in most batteries largely comes from inconvenient places: Australia, Chile, China, Argentina, and Zimbabwe are among the leading producers. The U.S. ranks fifth in the world for zinc production, though, which makes the concept of a zinc-air battery exceptionally attractive to companies based here. The chemistry was first commercialized in 1932, but low current capacity and difficulty recharging has restricted their use to things like hearing aids. Taiwan-based startup Thunderzee Industries reckons it may have solved enough of these problems to bring the zinc-air battery to larger appliances and even cars, news which made something of a splash at CES 2021.
