Indeed. Makes me cringe hearing commentators making such a gaff and worse because Sam should know better. Apart from that, a 100kWh battery would still only give the same range. What these higher energy density batteries mean is that a vehicle can carry more kWh for the same weight/size. To double the range (without any huge improvement in efficiency), you would need double the kWh. However at double the energy density (Wh/kg) that greater battery capacity wouldn't weigh any more. Semantics and terminology aside, 720 Wh/kg batteries will be a game changer.
@simonmiller5118 4 ай бұрын
I agree. If the EViking can't get it right, what hope has the average uninformed person? Please Sam, start using the correct units. BTW, your arguments don't make any sense with regard to range. A 50kWh battery in a Tesla Mod3 will not suddenly deliver 800kms of range just because it is light. Even if it only weighs say 150kg rather than 480kg. For a start the battery in the current SR M3 is 57.5kWh not 50. It has a range of 500km give or take. Having a smaller but lighter battery will never add 300kms of range. What you should be saying is that you could have say a 150kg battery with 730Wh/kg which would store around 90kWh allowing for the weight of structural and packaging materials. This battery would probably have a range of 800 to 900kms but how much would it cost? It all appears to be in the distant future anyway with many other factors involved such as charge rate, battery life, hot and cold performance, cost etc. I'll believe it when I'm driving it.

@@adrianthoroughgood1191 A number of reasons. One was cost, I picked up a used Kia Sportage with 2K miles for $19K. I couldn't have gotten a comparable electric vehicle for anywhere close to that price, and in my case I actually need and use the space a vehicle that size has. Then there's the point that I spend a lot of time in and around NYC, and charging is still challenging in that dense area. Finally, yes, there's some range anxiety as well. I have aging parents who live about 350 miles from me and I don't want to worry about hunting for chargers along the way. None of these issues is insurmountable, but for me they tipped the scale to an ICE even though I've been in electric vehicles and they are amazing.

I also spend a lot of time around NYC and the charging infrastructure there is still in its infancy. I also have aging parents who live a few hundred miles away so I confess to having some range anxiety here as well. Taken together, these all nudged me to an ICE vehicle. But these were all personal choices and I don't present them as blanket reasons. Many people take this issue needlessly personally, like they do between choosing Android and Apple. I've been in EV and thought they were wonderful, and it's clear to me that by the time my Sportage runs its course -- the Honda I had before it ran through 200K miles and was working fine when I sold it -- its successor will almost certainly be electric.

People look at the range the wrong way. The range is only a big deal because charging takes a long time. If you could charge in 5 min 250 would be fine. To me the problem is charge times not range. If you have fast chargers everywhere on the interstate and you can charge up in 5 min who cares about the range at all. These fast charging solid state batteries would make 250 mile range better then 700 miles with a slow charge old battery.

No, sorry Sam, but it doesn't work like that. 50 kWh at 720 Kwh/kg in a model 3 does not double its range. It merely reduces the weight of the battery pack by 500 lbs. This is equivalent to 2 American men in weight. Try adding or subtracting 500 lbs to a model 3 and it will make only a 10% difference in range. How this new high energy density battery effect should be calculated is if you double the kWh you double the mileage without adding any weight.
@patrickbeck4062 4 ай бұрын
Yeah, I don't know where he pulls his numbers from sometimes. Getting 800km out of a 50kWh pack means you'd be getting 16 km per kWh (10 miles).

@mxguy2438 4 ай бұрын
1000+ mile range does 3 things. It extends the useful life of the battery because batteries lose capacity over time. If 200 miles is good useful range, when a battery gets to 50% of its capacity over time, it is much less useful. It also allows the battery to be charged/discharged a minimal amount on a day to day basis, this allows it to be kept between say 40-60% charge vs 20-80% which should also extend its life. It allows towing a trailer a reasonable distance which existing capacity batteries utterly fail at.

Just for comparison - one kg of petrol has around 12Kw of energy in it, or ~16 times the energy density of the new battery. But the petrol engine is only able to convert 20% of this to useful work, so the actual energy density realised is 2.4Kwh/kg. In effect a petrol car carries around a 1/3 of the weight in fuel compared to an EV with the same total battery power. Although this is not exactly comparing apples with apples, as the EV efficiency is around 80%, so the ratio goes to around 1/4 of the weight. This, with the fast fuelling of petrol cars, and petrol's ready 'carry factor' (i.e. if you run out of petrol, you just get more petrol to get you to the petrol station; no need for a special charger, etc, or you just carry spare petrol if you are worried you will run out), is the challenge to overcome to get mass uptake.

Moderately small, quiet, automated electric plane will change things. One can have a airport in city, and fly VTOL or STOL to nearly anywhere like a taxi with fraction of the present cost. Two seat electric small plane goes 200 km/h to 100 km range with pretty small battery, consumption less than a Tesla or electric motorbike bike at highway speed. Funny, that plane has regen.. and easy reverse. High acceleration gives short take off, and landing. Maintenance is really low compared to combustion engines. Already aluminium air batteries could give range from London to Berlin, but the battery is not rechargeable and it gains a lot weight during flight. Take off weight is less than with kerosine and turboprop. Record energy density I found is 8kWh/kg. But 2kWh is present state.. The motor is much smaller and lighter, so less drag, and higher efficiency makes it about equal to kerosine. But the aluminium must be recovered in a factory and fresh powder added to battery with electrolyte. It is actually a aluminium fuel cell. Efficiency is not very good, more like option to hydrogen, with much less space needed.

Long haul flights??? ...A Boeing 787 uses about 500,000 kwh of energy for a 7hr flight (about 4000 miles, 6500km). So even with crazy dense batteries of 800wh per kg, that's a battery weight of 600 tonnes! From LA to Sydney, this battery would weigh 1200 tonnes! Good luck trying to take off with that!!! (not to mention the huge reduction in efficiency keeping that weight in the air. And of course landing would be impossible.). This bloke makes utterances way above his pay grade. Absolute madness.

One has to be careful with the comparison because ICE engines (even turbines on airliners) aren't nearly as efficient as electric propulsion. It will be a while before a 787 class aircraft uses batteries exclusively. But they aren't quite as far fetched as your post implies. A 4X energy density over today's batteries would probably be adequate for all but the longest range aircraft.

@@tomlewitt Tom, Electric motors are around 96% to 98% efficient in converting the stored energy to motive power of the turbofan compared to typically 50% to 55% thermodynamic efficiency of the gas turbine. The propulsor itself is in the range of 70% efficiency. So one sees that the electric motor version is almost twice the energy efficiency. The battery weight is clearly an issue and the plane will have to be designed to handle the landing loads--like landing with a full load of fuel. Also, a downside is that the plane doesn't get any lighter as it uses up its stored energy. On the charging front, one would guess that there will be large storage battery systems (like Tesla Megapacks) that can charge between flights and also multiple plugs can be used to charge the battery banks on the plane. Clearly there will need to be large feeds to make this work.

A lot of pickup trucks have 1,200 km of range in North America. Where I live, we travel vast distances in our vehicles from farms to cities. a 300 km drive here takes less than 3 hours because our population is smaller. Further to that, charging stations are few and far between here, so having massive battery range is important. If you live/work in the bush up North, it's usually going to be 12+ hours of driving on logging trails to get somewhere with fuel, so most trucks have dual tanks, massive 150L tanks, or slip tanks for in the truck bed. If the weather turns bad and you get stranded, you'll need it. That's why EVs as they are are mostly rejected here. That massive range matters to a farmer and his family if they get stuck in the ditch on the dirt road to their farm, because they need to keep that vehicle warm for days in -20 to -40°C weather sometimes until someone shows up to rescue them.

The extra battery size would help compensate for extreme cold to maintain temperature, A/C, music….an EV owner can enjoy all the comforts without worrying about loose km. 500 km between changing would turn heads. Battery failure and replacement costs. Insurance is crazy for EV because of the batteries.

Tesla batteries and powertrains are warrantied for 8 years. Charging daily (assuming you have home charging) is the easiest situation since it literally takes 5-10 seconds to plug it in. Most Next gen vehicles probably will have wireless charging convenience for home charging and you just park and the next day your car is charged. Insurance costs for EVs is about the same as ICE for the same price vehicle. So you are unduly worried about BS that the popular press is spouting.

Most ICE cars can't get 500 miles (especially for city driving) running air conditioning, etc. The range change due to air conditioning is negligible for Teslas. Heating does take more. Hydrogen will not happen due to economics. The car companies with brains are abandoning it. H2 cost 3X to 4X the cost of diesel so there is no way trucking is going to buy that fuel for a business. No need to tell you what to drive. Eventually, most will figure it out for themselves when they realize the convenience of BEVs vs ICE or hybrids, the lowered maintenance, and the fuel expenses, as well as the power, instant torque, quietness. There is no way I would ever go back to ICE after my 7 years of BEV driving. My only caveat is that if you can't charge at home or work, and don't have a nearby supercharger, you might want to stick to ICE for a while.

To get the power out efficiently they need to be much higher voltage, 800 or 1200V presenting further safety issues. They also have to demonstrate how they can be safely and efficiently charged. The reality is we can get 100KW fast charging with relatively minor up grades to the network. Widespread uptake of 200 KW and above will need major network upgrades.

Some of your facts need correcting. 800 to 1000V charging presents no new safety issues and many chargers already can charge at those voltages. Safety is important so your point is not lost. Today's fastest chargers easily can do 250 kW charging and 350 kW for some. Tesla continues to deploy hundreds of units at these levels per month worldwide. The overall grid does not need upgrades since it is fully capable of supporting those rates today. However, depending upon location, grid feeds will need to be beefed up locally, and often augmented by battery systems for remote locations and potentially solar panels (not necessarily mounted at the station).

Sam, LONG HAUL FLIGHTS are not even close with 720Wh/kg, easily proovable with one simple equation, the battery electric Breguet range equation. With the most extremely optimistic inputs to the equation, likely sacrificing useful passenger payload, 2800 km range is the limit with 720 Wh/kg. Without 2000 to 3000 Wh/kg batteries, long haul flights will need hydrogen or ammonia fuel for zero carbon emissions. Flying wing or blended wing body design and slowing down 12-15% to Mach 0.7 to enable open fan or unducted fan propulsion and less transonic drag will also be required. Currently we are already wasting a lot of fuel without carbon taxes to force greater efficiency instead of maximum profits.

It is an interesting breakthrough. Fuel energy density is about 1200Wh/kg, but ICE engine efficiency is closer to 40-45%, while for battery and electric engine it is closer to 80-85%. So even the 720Wh/kg battery is lighter per energy spent on movement than petrol. HOWEVER 😉 If we are thinking of electric airplanes, there are some things to consider: - when airplane is going to fly on short distance, it will load just appropriate amount of fuel. EV plane would need a modular, easily detachable battery in order to match that. Same for the car, but probably easier since you don't have to perfectly balance everything and losing power is not as catastrophic as for EV plane - airplane takes off with full tanks, but lands with almost empty tanks. This makes average fuel mass to be about half of takeoff mass. EV plane will weigh the same through the whole flight - and especially during landing, what will put extra stress on fuselage and undercarriage (currently planes FOR REASON either drop some fuel or do long flight-arounds in order to get lighter). This might effect in urge to strengthen the body of the plane, making it heavier and reducing range even more. Neverhteless, it would be really interesting! Looking forward to seeing this in real world!

no word on number of cycles, and holding time, eh? And will it fit in a 4680 form factor? Color me skeptical. Excited, too, but skeptical.

I drive EVs since 5 years now. The battery which would be needed is the following (considering a consumption of approximately 20-25kwh/100km: 85-100 kwh of capacity Charges ALWAYS without battery conditioning up to 95-100% in max.10 min if needed. Degradation less than 5% Cycles 1000 which is enough. Then better to concentrate on low weight and costs

When battery energy density through the roof... the ICE will be done.. it's that simple..
@marviwilson1853 4 ай бұрын
ICE is done now. It is written into many countries legislation.

Oh man, with these ultra high energy density batteries, anything is possible, personal exoskeletons, commercial humanoid robots. Stuff of science fiction.

As I predicted, it's happening. By the time we're ready for EV, the technology will be far better. Was on the road yesterday. Heading towards Cardiff in Wales. I noticed no EV cars to be seen. It's all Ice still. Obviously are done around, but just shows No confidence in EVs by the general public.. Also hardly any charging stations around. Certainly well behind in the UK. Thanks for the info.

Great videos, well presented, thanks. But please get your units right. Energy density is measured in Watt-hours per kilogram, not Watts per kilogram. Power density is measured in Watts per kilogram.

It depends on the cost of the batteries. If the cost is too high for EVs, then the uptake will be limited.

Then why don't we hear about this wonderful battery on any news reports are they hiding it because it's so good

The big question is, whether they will be retrofittable to existing EVs. If so, would turn around the whole EV industrial and allow people to pick up some cheap EVs being dumped now
@jasontran8095 4 ай бұрын
Thanks for your info..,.But in terms of density you have to say 720 watt hour per kilogram ( you said 720 watt per kg, missing "hr")

Once a month I travel 485 miles to a very small town on the Brazilian countryside and there is no way to charge the car there. No electric car today gives me this autonomy. The day they start selling cars with 2000 miles of autonomy I will start considering buying one.

my Xpeng G6 gets 650KM real range. charge every 7-10days 45-60minutes each time(includes driving there parking) and cost $7-9

No! We do need 1000mile batteries. At least in America we do. Longevity to begin with. Battery life is based on cycles. Also, I do not want to be tied to chargers when traveling. If we want mass adoption, make the tech superior in every way.

With a battery like that you can do a 24hr Le Mans and not stop for anything 🤷♂️

Nope. Can't happen. A 3 hour race would be a stretch. The average fuel consumption in the 2023 Lemans race was 1300 ltrs for the full race. Try packing all that energy into a battery!!!

That's cheating. Got to have one stop at least. But certainly possible
