The Shifting Landscape of EV #Battery Technology For years, we've heard that #solidstate batteries are the future of #electricvehicles. With promises of longer range, faster charging, and enhanced safety, they've been dubbed the "holy grail" of #EV tech. Auto giants like Toyota Motor Corporation, Nissan Motor Corporation, and Mercedes-Benz AG have invested billions in their development. But here's where it gets interesting: despite the hype, we're still hearing the same statement: "5 to 7 years away from commercialization." Meanwhile, good old #lithiumion batteries keep improving, narrowing the gap between current tech and the solid-state dream. Enter the dark horse: 𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐢-𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝-𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬. Already in use by some #Chinese EV makers, these hybrid designs might just be the compromise we need. They offer many of the benefits of full solid-state batteries but with fewer commercialization hurdles. Will semi-solid-state batteries bridge the gap while we wait for full solid-state technology to mature? Or will the steady evolution of lithium-ion tech prove sufficient for our near-term EV needs? One thing's for sure: the road to the future of #EVs is looking more diverse than ever. #EVTechnology #BatteryInnovation #FutureOfMobility #sustainability #linkedin #EVnews CNBC

What advances can we expect in electric car batteries? Batteries play a fundamental role in electric vehicles by determining their ability to store and supply energy. Therefore, one of the main focuses of research and innovation is directed towards improving their performance, durability, safety, and cost. A significant advancement in this field is the development of the 4680 battery cells introduced by Tesla in their Model Y. These cells have larger diameter and height compared to conventional ones (46 mm vs. 21 mm diameter and 80 mm vs. 70 mm height), which increases their energy density, power, and range. According to Tesla, this results in a 16% increase in range and a 14% reduction in cost per kWh. Another important advance is the use of alternative materials in the chemical composition of batteries, such as lithium iron phosphate (LFP) or lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC). These materials offer advantages like greater thermal stability, reduced dependence on cobalt (a scarce and expensive metal), and extended lifespan. Some manufacturers, like BYD or Volkswagen, have already adopted these technologies for their electric vehicles. #EMCIL #emobility #sustainablemobility #electricvehicles #batteries #performance #durability #safety #technology #advancements

Why No Standard #EV Battery Size? The Cylindrical Debate Ever wonder why there's no one-size-fits-all battery in the EV world? It's a mix of factors: * Fast-paced innovation: Battery tech is constantly evolving, making it hard to settle on a standard. * Unique vehicle needs: A tiny city car needs a different battery than a massive truck. * Secret sauce: Battery design is a key differentiator for EV makers. Case in point StoreDot #xfc technology. But there's a twist! While most carmakers explore pouch or prismatic cells, Tesla and BMW Group are doubling down on cylindrical cells. Why? #Tesla: They've mastered this format, optimizing for cost, thermal management, and supply chain security. #BMW: Betting on a new generation of cylindrical cells for their "Neue Klasse" EVs, prioritizing energy density and sustainability. Others hesitate due to potentially lower volumetric density and design limitations. What's the future hold? Will a standard emerge? Time will tell! #EV #Batteries #Innovation #Tesla #BMW #Sustainability #Engineering

xEV & Battery Engineering Tips : What is the impact of #fastcharging on Tesla Model 3 and Model Y batteries in real life operation? #battery #electriccars #performance. In this post we present reported comparison data between many fast charges and few fast charges on these two models 🔋Key findings of this study : “We compared cars that fast charge at least 90% of the time to cars that fast charge less than 10% of the time. In other words, people who almost exclusively fast charge their car and people who very rarely fast charge. The results show no statistically significant difference in range degradation between Teslas that fast charge more than 90% of the time and those that fast charge less than 10% of the time. ” 🔋Contact us to know more about the capabilities of our #software for sizing, design, optimization and controls developments. 🔋If you want to know more about EV, Batteries Performance, modeling and simulation, let us know and contact us a info@baettery.com or visit www.baettery.com.

𝗕𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴: 𝗔 𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 (𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝟭/𝟱) The global battery manufacturing sector is heading towards overcapacity, with China leading the charge. However, significant variations exist by region, form factor, and chemistry. A key driver of this overcapacity is the slower-than-expected adoption of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs). To adapt, battery players need efficient utilization strategies. This post marks the beginning of a series delving into the evolution of battery manufacturing, cost challenges, and future innovations. Follow along as we explore what’s next in this rapidly changing space. #EV #Battery #BatteryManufacturing #FactoryoftheFuture

MG will start equipping its #electriccar models with #solidstate batteries within the next 12 months. The news - reported by #Autocar - comes straight from a senior SAICgroup executive present at the Chengdu Motor Show. It was there that Yu Jingmin, executive vice-president of passenger vehicle operations, revealed that new solid-state battery technology developed by the company and intended to be shared with other SAIC brands will soon be launched in a #MG model. Surprising the competition We don't yet know exactly which MG will be the first to feature this type of battery, but the company's top management indicates that it will debut in the second quarter of 2025, with arrival at dealerships by the end of the same year. MG4 XPower The ambitious move is more than 12 months ahead of the brand's previous timeline for the introduction of solid-state batteries in its production models. It also puts MG ahead of virtually all competitors in the planned adoption of solid-state battery technology in production models.  Early speculation No details have yet been revealed, but early indications are that it will have the same 5% liquid mass proportion as the battery used by IM Motor, as well as having an 800V electrical architecture. It would therefore be more correct to speak of a #semi-#solidstate, as Nio does. IM In fact, IM Motor - another #Chinese brand in SAIC's orbit - has already presented its new L6 saloon with first-generation solid-state batteries, developed in collaboration between SAIC and Chinese battery specialist Jiangsu Qingtao. IM's 'Lightyear' battery offers more than twice the #energydensity of the existing lithium-iron-phosphate (#LFP) battery (368W per kg). With a capacity of 133 kWh, it gives the L6 saloon a claimed range of 673 miles in the Chinese #CLTC cycle and the ability to recharge 250 miles in 12 minutes.
