Korea's LG Chem, a supplier for top automakers such as General Motors and Renault, is currently developing a new battery with 300+ kilometres of range for entry-level cars to be sold for less than $40,000.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the company expects deliveries to begin within the next three years.
Right now, the only electric car with that much range is the Tesla Model S ($78,970), whose standard 60kWh battery allows drivers to travel up to 350 kilometres.
Boasting higher energy density and improved cell management, LG Chem's lithium-ion battery will also be cheaper to manufacture, effectively dropping the price of electric vehicles.
