The battery is the heart of any electric vehicle. It is also at the heart of many of the challenges facing EVs, as the world's governments try to navigate a route to emissions-free driving.

Many of us continue to get behind the wheels of our cars when, in reality, it may be neither safe nor legal for us to do so.
