Charging safety of EVs: Challenges and key takeaways
Short-circuiting of batteries For instance, short-circuiting of Li-ion batteries are the most common cause of thermal runaway. This can happen due to overcharge or overvoltage leading to electrolyte decomposition as a result of the formation of gases such as H 2, CO 2, or CO, and destabilization of cathode due to release of O 2. ...
