The automotive industry faces a significant challenge due to the increasingly stringent emissions regulations. Meeting these goals requires the development of technologies capable of achieving zero carbon emissions while remaining economically viable. From Hydrogen fuel propulsion to battery electric vehicles (BEVs), different paths are being explored to address this problem. However, factors such as resource-intensive production of Lithium-ion batteries and early battery degradation, hinder the widespread adoption of BEVs. The purpose of this thesis is to reduce stress on the Lithium-ion battery (LIB) by exploiting the capability of the Sodium-ion cells to sustain higher C-rates (ratio between the actual current and the nominal capacity) without damage, thereby extending the life of the Lithium battery.
