Hello Everyone and Welcome to Vik the Random! Are you ready for a banger?

In this episode we talk about LION, which isn't an actual lion, but rather Lithium-ion. We'll talk about what it is, and how exactly it works. From the second part of the name EV, you can probably guess that it has something to do with Electric Vehicles. Let's Go!

Also - Huge Shoutout to Many Candle a non-profit started by my classmate where all candles go directly to help pets in the SVPP! (Silicon Valley Pet Project)
