There is new research into a new battery technology platform that is completely metal-free. This new battery technology platform utilizes a polypeptide organic radical construction. Almost all Li-ion batteries currently use significant amounts of cobalt, which in several well-documented international cases is mined using child labor in dangerous working environments. Additionally, only a very small …
Australian University is partnering to commercialize aluminium ion batteries which can charge up to 70 times faster, had a more efficient and longer life and were more sustainable than lithium-ion. Testing has shown rechargeable graphene aluminium ion batteries had a battery life of up to three times that of current leading lithium-ion batteries, and higher …
Here is The 2021 battery technology roadmap from the Journal of Applied Physics. A roadmap presents an overview of the current state of various kinds of batteries, such as the Li/Na/Zn/Al/K-ion battery, Li–S battery, Li–O2 battery, and flow battery. Above- Ragone plot illustrating the performances of specific power vs specific energy for different electrical energy-storage …
In 2020, LG Energy Solution added the most passenger EV battery capacity deployed onto roads. It is supplying Tesla in China and VW, Renault and Mercedes in Europe. CATL added the second most battery production capacity in 2020. CATL wants to increase its production capacity between 2020 and 2025 in the following stages: 110 GWh …
Tesla’s Q1 2021 earnings call had several statements which indicate that Tesla is targeting the production of 2 million cars in 2022. Tesla expects to sell over 500,000 Model 3 in 2022. Tesla could exceed this target with 600k-700k Model 3. Tesla said they expect the Model Y to be the top-selling car (by revenue …
Solid-State batteries have been difficult to make but would have many benefits if they are mass-produced. * faster charging times * increase energy density up to 2 to 8 times * Range of 500-800 km * 1 liter per kwh versus 4 liters per kwh in a current Tesla Model 3 * no fire risk …
Elon Musk said that the Model 3 was the top-selling luxury sedan in the world in Q1 2021. Model 3 outsold combustion engine cars. Elon Musk said that Model Y will become the top-selling car of any kind in 2022. The Ford F-150 had 787,000 sales in the US in 2020. Toyota sold about 1.5 …
On Tesla’s 2020 Battery Day, Elon Musk made the case that there will be a 35 terawatt-hour per year battery market if the world electrifies all vehicles and battery enables the entire electrical grid. Tesla has a goal of making 3 or more terawatt-hours per year of batteries by 2030. The current combined goal of …
Tesla produced 35,478 cars in March and this is an annualized rate of 425,736 cars. They produced over 10,000 Model Y cars and Tesla should ramp to over 25,000 Model Y’s per month from China. Tesla should be able to reach 500,000 to 600,000 cars in 2021. If Fremont produces 500,000 to 600,000 cars as …
Tesla is preparing the pilot Cybertruck production line and planning details for its production at the Fremont factory. Once all the equipment is installed at Giga Texas, a trained, ready-for-work team will immediately begin production from June 2021. Trial production of Cybertruck can begin as early as June 2021, first deliveries could occur in Q32021 …
Fixing and building roads, bridges, rail lines, ports and the electric grid could account for nearly $1 trillion of Biden’s forthcoming Build Back Better infrastructure program. The overall US infrastructure program is expected to be in the $3 to 4 trillion range. There will a first official release of information starting Wednesday, March 31, 2021. …
