🔋⚡Tesla’s 4680 Battery: Game-Changer or Doomed to Fail? 🔋⚡ The 4680 battery, a cornerstone of Tesla's innovation strategy, faces skepticism from an unexpected source: Robin Zeng, Chairman of China's battery titan CATL. During a meeting with Elon Musk, Zeng reportedly predicted the 4680's long-term failure, citing its limitations in electrochemistry compared to other advanced technologies. Zeng’s remarks challenge Tesla’s bold claims about the 4680’s potential for cost reduction and energy density improvements. While Musk excels in software, hardware, and mechanical innovations, Zeng implied that battery-making might not be Tesla’s strongest suit. But is Zeng right? Tesla’s focus on in-house battery production could still disrupt the industry—or expose its limits in the fiercely competitive EV market. What do you think? Could the 4680 battery redefine EV energy storage, or is it a misstep in Tesla’s ambitious roadmap? 🔗 Dive into the details : https://lnkd.in/eky4QMzZ #Tesla #4680Battery #EVRevolution 🚗🔋 #Innovation ⚙️ #CATL #Electrochemistry #EnergyStorage 🔌 #Sustainability 🌱

How big is the battery on the Tesla ‘Giga Train’? Well for the past couple of years the team and I at Innovation Industries have been working on a simulation product called GreenNet OptiSim which is perfect for answering the question. For context, a few weeks ago articles started popping up in the news about the new Tesla ‘Giga Train.’ At first the headline sounds like Tesla have started building battery trains and are revolutionizing the industry! The truth was a little less exciting, but interesting none the less. Essentially, Tesla have just leased a Siemens battery-electric commuter train to ferry their workers between the Erkner station and their factory in Germany. This got me thinking, how big would a battery need to be to run a train like this with the 500 passengers they claim to be moving on each trip, and how often would the train need to charge up and how long would this take? While we were able to track down some of the specs regarding the train and what battery chemistry it uses (LTO cells from Toshiba) there were no answers about how big the battery is or the charging set up. Answering these questions seemed like the perfect job for GreenNet. Within a couple of hours we were able to plot out the route, estimate a few of the train performance details and come up with some answers! Essentially a 200 kWh LTO battery pack should be able to do the trick and have a short enough static charge time to move the expected 4,500 passengers each day without delays due to charging! Check out the brief video of the simulation below. #Tesla #GigaTrain #Innovation #decarbonization #SustainableTravel #FutureOfTransportation #CleanEnergy #simulation 🚈
