I think the major issue is the cost! Also the charging time takes long.
It doesn't last for that long where as the other power source such as petrol last for days.

But I'm trying to find some issues regarding it's development.

I'm wondering if anyone have an article talks about this! It will be really helpful.
I tried to look but couldn't find that much.

thanks

What are the signs of a dying car battery?

There are a few warning signs that may indicate your car battery is dying.

If you notice any of these signs, it's important to get your battery checked as soon as possible.

Can a dead car battery be recharged?

In most cases, a dead car battery can be recharged. This can be done by jump-starting the car with another vehicle or using a battery charger. However, if the battery is too old or damaged, it may not hold a charge and will need to be replaced.
