Electric cars could store energy in their carbon fiber bodies

While the carbon fiber with battery-friendly characteristics is slightly stronger than steel, the scientists believed companies might need thicker layers to make up for the difference. However, that might be worthwhile. If a vehicle shell could collect, conduct and store energy, it could reduce the weight “up to” 50 percent, Chalmers professor Leif Asp said. …
