The worldwide move towards sustainable transport has seen electric vehicles (EVs) become the keystone to the mobility systems in the future. Battery technology is central in the performance, safety, affordability, and adoption of EVs. The domineering conventional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), though, are becoming weaker due to their constraints around energy density, charging rates, thermal safety, lifecycle degradation, availability of raw materials, and environmental effects. Such issues have only served to drive more research into research on next-generation battery technologies that could support the power needs of the applications of EVs in the modern world. This paper comprehensively and systematically reviews the next-generation battery technologies in electric vehicles with solid-state batteries, lithium-sulfur battery, lithium-air battery, sodium-ion battery, and emerging multivalent and hybrid energy storage systems. The article starts with the description of the changes in EV battery performance as concept of energy density and power density, safety, cost, sustainability, and recyclability. A critical review of literature looks into the current developments, experimental innovations, and industrial developments on several battery chemistries. The suggested section of the methodology proposes a comparative techno-economic/performance analysis framework, which incorporates the electrochemical modelling, lifecycle analysis and systems-level optimization. The feasibili...
