Abstract	As electric vehicles (EVs) transition from niche adoption to mass-market reality, the underlying lithium-ion battery (LIB) architecture has begun to show limitations in cost, safety, and sustainability. This paper presents a comprehensive exploration of emerging post-lithium battery technologies—namely sodium-ion, potassium-ion, magnesium/calcium-ion, aluminum-ion, lithium-sulfur, lithium-air, and solid-state batteries—each promising to address one or more of LIB's systemic flaws. Drawing from recent breakthroughs in materials science and electrochemistry, we examine the technical maturity, environmental implications, commercial viability, and infrastructure requirements for each chemistry. We conclude by identifying critical challenges and strategic pathways for large-scale deployment of these battery systems in pursuit of resilient, low-carbon electric mobility.
