The battery in electric vehicles makes them much heavier than traditional vehicles. Laura and Jasmin discuss how steel car components can be made lighter to offset this increased weight, what implications that has for other industries, and whether this would make the steel industry more sustainable.

Fact check:

• Some ways that steel car components are made lighter
• Stats about the Nissan Leaf and how it compares to a similar spec car with an internal combustion engine
• How steel makers can use maths to understand how the microstructure affects mechanical properties
• Research using AI to predict mechanical properties based on composition
• More research using AI, this time looking at processing variables during manufacture
• Different generations of high strength steel
