Who knew wood could be the next big thing in electric cars? Researchers in Austria just created a battery housing made from thin steel and wood (yes, actual wood!), and it outperformed aluminum in crash and fire tests. Not only is it safer, but it’s also way better for the environment. Bonus: they even added cork for extra fire protection. Imagine your next EV being lighter, greener, and safer—all thanks to some clever use of wood! #Cars #EVs #Innovation
