This study on battery aging revealed several key findings: Battery Longevity: Electric vehicle batteries maintain a state of health (SoH) above 90% even after 100,000 kilometers and remain stable up to 300,000 kilometers, contradicting common myths about rapid degradation. Real-World Data: The study utilized data from over 7,000 vehicles, showing that actual battery capacity is maintained longer than laboratory predictions, especially at high mileages. Factors Affecting Aging: Temperature and state of charge significantly impact battery aging. Batteries perform best when kept at low to medium temperatures and charge levels Overall thoughtful driving and careful battery charging can help prolonging EV life. p.s. sound very similar to what we have been doing all along with our conventional vehicles. (e.g. avoid aggressive driving with cold engine etc) https://lnkd.in/euvqmmHr

Fact of the month: Solid-state batteries - The next revolution in electromobility? 🔋🚗 Did you know that solid-state batteries are considered the next big revolution in battery technology? What are solid-state batteries? Solid-state batteries replace the liquid or gel-like electrolyte in conventional lithium-ion batteries with a solid substance. This results in higher energy density, improved safety and potentially faster charging times. Why is this important? Higher energy density: Solid-state batteries can store more energy, which could significantly extend the range of electric vehicles. Safer: As no flammable liquid electrolytes are used, there is less risk of fires and explosions. Faster charging times: These batteries could significantly reduce charging times, making charging electric cars almost as fast as refueling a combustion engine. The future of electric mobility: Manufacturers such as BMW and Toyota are working hard to develop this technology, which is expected to be ready for the market in the next decade.

LFP Batteries Can See Upto 70% Increase In Lifespan Via A New Method A scientific paper published in Joule indicates a relatively simple technique to boost the lifespan of LFP batteries by up to a maximum of 70%. A recent study by SLAC-Stanford Battery Center, funded by Toyota, claims that charging LFP batteries for the very first time at unusually high speeds extends their lifespan by an average of 50% and up to a maximum of 70%. The details of the entire experiment surfaced in the scientific paper in Joule. The scientists have found a rather innovative way to boost battery health and minimize degradation. We know that extensive R&D work has been going on behind the scenes in the last few years to make future EVs way better than the existing ones. In fact, a recent study, funded by Tesla, found that consistently using LFP batteries at a higher state of charge negatively affects battery health and degradation. But the new Toyota Research Institute-backed study under its Accelerated Materials Design and Discovery program reveals even more intriguing results. #ev #evs #electriccars #electricvehicles #evbattery #battery #batteries https://lnkd.in/gu3pHEf2

Solid state batteries are on the horizon. Where we are today in Li battery manufacturing reminds me of when semiconductor manufacturing was transitioning from metal gates to polysilicon. Will Mores Law apply? How quickly will charger optimization make todays components obsolete? Such an exciting time!!! https://lnkd.in/eBEU96eT

According to MIT Technology Review, EV growth will continue in 2025, because... physics and economics. Yes, the US might shoot itself in the foot and be slower, because science is not necessarily a guiding light for politicians, but you can't stop this secular trend any more than you can get people to go back to horses and buggies.
