Samsung SDI introduced a prototype of battery cell for electric vehicles (EVs) that the company claims it delivers world’s top energy density. The company has showcased at the North American International Auto Show held at the Cobo Center in Detroit an electric vehicle battery pack sample that can run up to 600 kilometers in one charge. The new battery's energy density is 20-30 percent higher than that of the existing ones that can run up to 500 kilometers in a single charge. The company plans to mass-produce the item beginning from 2020.

Samsung SDI also unveiled 'low height packs' for EVs that significantly reduced the battery size and 'LVS solutions' that enable regular vehicles to improve eco-friendliness and fuel efficiency simultaneously.

The 'low height pack for EVs' is reduced in size while enhancing energy density. The reduction in height and improvement in energy density will allow EV designers to install packs more easily and to make commercial production while reducing costs.

And the new 'LVS solution' can be installed in regular vehicles as well as EVs.

Except Tesla Motors cars that can drive 400 kilometers, all other electric cars can drive 150-200 kilometers at best in one charge.
