An electric-vehicle battery (EVB) (also known as a traction battery) is a battery used to power the electric motors of a battery electric vehicle (BEV) or hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). These batteries are usually rechargeable (secondary) batteries, and are typically lithium-ion batteries. These batteries are specifically designed for a high ampere-hour (or kilowatt-hour) capacity.
Batteries for electric vehicles are characterized by their relatively high power-to-weight ratio, specific energy and energy density; smaller, lighter batteries are desirable because they reduce the weight of the vehicle and therefore improve its performance. Compared to liquid fuels, most current battery technologies have much lower specific energy, and this often impacts the maximum all-electric range of the vehicles.
The most common battery type in modern electric vehicles are lithium-ion and lithium polymer, because of their high energy density compared to their weight. Other types of rechargeable batteries used in electric vehicles include lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal hydride, and, less commonly, zinc-air, and sodium nickel chloride batteries. The amount of electricity stored in batteries is measured in ampere hours or in coulombs, with the total energy often measured in kilowatt-hours.

It's so much fun to see the prosess from the very start 👏 I'm working the other way (i actuall disassemble these!)

Love the manual assembling, keep human beng still working and keep smooth finishing... actually robotic assembling process is neat....

It´ll be great to see what´s inside the cells, what materials are used, what are the safety tests done and how tighten proof is also done.

Where shall we find the production site and various other information like suppliers and battery types, variants are produced in that particular site for a specific brand like BMW etc ? Thanks in advance ?

@bjornjunge6832 2 жыл бұрын

I'd like to know as well. Suppliers for battery cells like that tho are usually LG or Panasonic (sometimes BOSCH). Variants of the finished battery system (more/less range/energy) are caused by using more or less packs within the housing. For specific data about the cell itself you'd be more succesful asking the supplier directly I think. Check out Tesla's battery production (cell 4680) if you're interested tho, bc they are using a different type of cell for assembly.
