Electric vehicles are replacing conventional cars due to zero carbon emissions. So, it helped to make the environment greener. About 1700 Australians die yearly from air pollution, so the Australian government plans to replace 90 % of vehicles with electric vehicles. Initially manufactured electric vehicles have separate energy storage devices that increase the car's weight. This research focused on fabricating carbon fibre-based electrodes and energy storage devices that can also act as car body parts that need very high mechanical properties and energy storage combined. Using an energy storage composite reduced the structure's weight and energy consumption.
