Elon Musk just revealed cheapest EV battery ever in history Tesla's extremely affordable
batteries for electric vehicles are almost ready for release the initiative on which the business
has been collaborating with Panasonic for years could upend the electric vehicle market and pave
the way for a new more affordable Tesla Model anyone who wants the Panasonic 4680 batteries
will be able to get them and they will probably be considerably less expensive than the Alternatives
available right now this could a Tesla at maintaining its position as the world's top
manufacturer of electric vehicles as it has recently seen some Fierce competition Tesla's
4680 batteries are breakthrough technology what do they do better and what is the future of Battery
Technology let's find out hello everyone and welcome back to Elon Musk Evolution where we
bring you the most recent news about Elon Musk and his multi-billion dollar companies but before we
begin make sure you subscribe to our Channel and click the Bell icon so you don't miss out on any
of our amazing videos several materials included lithium lead acid nickel cadmium and nickel metal
hydride are used to create EV batteries depending on the type and model of their EV the battery's
precise construction will vary the most common kind of EV battery is a lithium battery they last
a very long time and are lightweight although lead acid batteries are the least expensive
alternative they are also the heaviest and have a shorter lifespan than lithium batteries lead acid
batteries are more expensive than nickel cadmium batteries although the latter are lighter and have
a longer life span the most expensive EV battery is the nickel metal hydride battery which is also
the lightest and has the longest lifespan you have to make trade-offs When selecting an EV
battery the optimum choice for the majority of commuter applications is lithium batteries
in comparison of lead acid varieties they are lighter and more affordable and they last for
a long time in addition to powering the electric motor and cabin amenities electric car batteries
also Supply electricity to the infotainment system they are increasingly being used to
power Lane sensors vehicle to everything or v2x autonomous driving and other Advanced Driver
assistance system devices the cells that make up a battery are connected in a series and make up
each battery and electrolyte serves as a barrier between the positive and negative electrodes
found in each cell electricity travels from the positive electrode to the negative electrode
when the battery is being charged which causes ions to move through the electrolyte when the
battery is discharging this process is reversed causing electricity to move from the negative
electrode to the positive a battery's capacity which is measured in amp hours determines how
much electricity it can hold a battery's capacity to store energy increases with the amount of amp
hours it has the early batteries used in EVS were frequently big and heavy making them challenging
to install and move moreover a lot of people were unable to afford EVS due to the fact that they
were free frequently expensive these difficulties have mostly been fixed as Battery Technology has
advanced even so EVS nevertheless occasionally run into battery related issues thermal runaway is
among the most typical issues with EV batteries the battery releases a lot of energy when its
temperature rises to an unsafe level which is known as thermal runaway fires or explosions may
result as a result thermal Management systems are frequently used by manufacturers to keep
the battery school and prevent thermal Runway another issue that displayed DV batteries is
something called capacity fade which happens when the battery gradually uses its capacity to store a
charge many things such as overcharging cycling or even just becoming older might contribute to
this using top-notch batteries and keeping them in good condition will help you avoid capacity
fade battery degradations another problem that may arise with Eves when a battery's capacity
to store a charge gradually declines over time this occurs all types of batteries not
only those used in EVS but will degrade over time this is a natural process hot weather or frequent
charging and discharging can however speed up the process battery degeneration can be resisted in a
number of ways one way to increase battery life span is to employ a battery management
system or BMS to control how the battery is charged and discharged furthermore several EV
producers provide warranties that cover battery deterioration the 4680 batteries according to
Panasonic differ from typical EV batteries in key respects to begin with compared to the typical EV
battery Panasonic 4680 batteries are more energy dense they are therefore perfect for usage in EVS
because they can deliver more power in a smaller form factor furthermore compared to normal EV
batteries Panasonic 4680 batteries offer a greater capacity since they can store more energy as a
result they are ideal for a long distance travel and lastly Panasonic 4680 batteries
are less expensive to manufacture than regular EV batteries this is due to the fact that they need
less effort to assemble and use less expensive materials meanwhile according to reports Tesla is
soon to lose its technological Edge the new Keelan battery from catl outperforms everything that musk
has over the past 10 years Tesla has dominated the EV Market due to his automobiles consistently
being light years ahead of the competition in every way Elon Musk has attained this dominance
through pure technological advantage with their 4680 battery Which is less expensive more potent
and charges more quickly than anything else on the market this trend is only destined to continue the
g-line battery with catl one of Tesla's battery suppliers recently introduced outperforms the 4680
in every way Hal then has catl surpassed Tesla in power and as musk right to worry what makes
this battery so Innovative to begin with for wants of a better term it is extremely energy
dense allowing contemporary EVS to easily fit enough capacity to give a colossal 620
mile range furthermore due to its extraordinary thermal efficiency against large batteries more
quickly from 10 to 80 percent in just 10 minutes with higher safety requirements and with greater
dependability in the end it charges 50 percent faster and has a range of several hundred miles
greater than Tesla's groundbreaking 4680 but how did catl managed to pull this off has for
held accomplished this it followed the 4680s lead increasing cooling improving electrical
efficiency and therefore therm efficiency and optimizing volume use for all components of catl
strategy for reducing the number of cells in the pack I.E how much of the pack is actual battery
by employing a tablet's design and supersizing each cell from a 2170 form factor that means 21
millimeter diameter at 70 millimeter height to a 4680 form factor 46 millimeter diameter and
80 millimeter height Tesla is able to achieve this as a result there are a lot fewer cells
and they were all far more effective it also gave the pack additional area which would have
improved Cooling in addition a Tesla battery pack may be produced and built for a lot less
money than before because of the decreased cell count similar steps were taken by catl however
they decided to abandon the cylindrical form factor in favor of creating battery packs with
a crossbar shape a single cell makes up these crossbars and a limited number of them are
arranged in a rack to make up a full battery pack similar to Tesla's tablets Design This results in
a reduction in the number of Terminals and much increase thermal efficiency but since there is
more surface area to cool the cooling can be more effective if the crossbars have Cooling in between
them despite this the arrangement results in the chilin to having far higher volume utilization of
72 percent making the total battery pack significantly more energy dense than one
utilizing the 4680. the new Panasonic batteries for Tesla are almost ready to be released and
they should be considerably less expensive than the earlier ones the automobile industry as a
whole as well as Tesla stand to benefit greatly from these batteries though we don't know yet
all the specifics we'll keep you informed as soon as we learn more about the release of
these new batteries which are scheduled for April 2023 and that's it for today guys we sincerely
