Types of Electric Car Batteries
How do the batteries work?
So we know how batteries are used in almost all the appliances we use in our daily lives and vehicles. Energy is converted to electricity with the chemical energy stored in a battery. The battery consists of a negative electrode cell, which has a surplus of electrons that are negatively charged subatomic particles.
Electrons flow from the negative to the positive when an electrical cable connects the two. Companies today have come up with a way to use the energy created by these moving electrons to run a motor. Since the vehicle’s engine is powered by it, it must deliver enough current to the motor over some time.
Types of electric batteries
• Lithium-ion Battery
• The nickel-metal hydride battery
• Lead-Acid Battery
• The solid-state battery
• The nickel-cadmium battery
Lithium-ion Battery: This is the most widely used electric car battery. The lithium-ion battery was developed in the early 90s and gradually established itself as the leading technology in the transportation and consumer electronics industry. You might already be familiar with it because smaller versions are used in portable devices like mobile phones and laptops.
Nickel-Metal Hydride (NIMH) Battery: Another variant of electric cars is hybrid cars which contain both battery-powered and fuel-powered engines. These cars mainly use NIMH batteries but are also compatible with BEV cars. These kinds of batteries do not require any external power source to charge.
Lead-Acid Battery: SLA, or lead-acid, is one of the oldest rechargeable batteries. The lead-acid battery is still found in many vehicles, those with both combustion and electric engines. Compared to NIMH or lithium batteries, these are much heavier and eventually lose capacity. However, automobile companies still use it mainly because of its cheap pricing.
The solid-state battery: The principle behind it consists of replacing the battery’s liquid electrolyte with a solid material that can take the form of a plastic polymer, compacted inorganic powders, or a mixture of the two. In theory, this technology is all positive: it makes it possible to increase energy density and stability while making temperature control more manageable.
The nickel-cadmium battery: If you used rechargeable batteries in the 90s, you’re already familiar with nickel-cadmium technology. “Ni-Cd” accumulators had plenty of advantages, with significant storage density and a lifespan of around 500 to 1,000 charging cycles. However, they did suffer from the memory effect, a physical phenomenon that sees the battery’s performance decline if it is subject to partial “charge-drain” cycles.

Today's EV cars and trucks are using Lithium based batteries. LMO batteries can be charged 300 to 700 times. Once the battery has a low charge rate, now what, a $26k battery replacement. The EV battery has a warranty of 8 years. I would like to see LiFePO4 batteries, that have 4x the life of lithium.

A very good and informative video. Thank you. I'm a mechanic in Australia and there is a massive push for EV here. A little too fast for my liking as there is way more research to be done before the western world should purely adopt this method. I remember when used oils had to be "reclaimed" and the costs this created (although it did give rise for other industries, apositive) and the implementation of this reclaim/recycle decìsion actually created more issue's as the rule wasmade before the process was developed. I'm not being a nay sayer, as I am researching and educating myself, knowing I may have to work on these vehicles in order to progress my trade and business. I slow down and a bit of "what if" thinking should be applied because there willbe an immense amount of wste from these vehicles, soon and not just attrition waste. Accidents. Abandoned. Developmental disposals, etc.

@ Jelly Aptly put 👌. This should go beyond just EVs and further to other innovations (especially techs relating to energy/power, bio-linked, et al) to be considered well first and allowed to be determined by the market (people). An innovation should flow in a free market where it could serve as an option to some while, a necessary transition for others. All comes with backsides and these backsides may be weightier/more intensive from a small scale compared to say, another with a bigger/larger scale. EVs rate incomparable on the scale of general efficiency and that is sure, a great point. That means we'll not just for the climate but...corporations as well.

What I'm curious about is why I only get about 10% of what I should out of my watch batteries. I've had several watches over the years, when wearing an analog watch I get about a month out of it when I should get a year, and a year out of a digital where I should get a decade. This isn't the first time I've tried to look into the possible reasons behind this, so far i have only found the suggestion that this could be caused by a watch that waist to much battery, if this was true I wouldn't see the same situation throughout all of the different watch brands and types I've had. And looking into this has only become more difficult in recent years due to the every increasing popularity of smart matches, so most sites and videos I come across are about fixing smart watches that are eating though their battery. Additionally these watches I only get 10% of the battery life I should while whearing them, last the length of time they shpuld when left sitting in a drawer.

There's a really good chance that using AI technology to model chemical/material simulations and using AI to find new potential candidates is going to be what creates the most substantial progress on this subject. The pharmaceutical industry has almost entirely switched to using specialized AIs to find new drug candidates and to simuate what kind of receptor activity and pharmacological effect they will have. The vast majority of drug models are now made by computer programs. Same thing for protein structure modeling. It used to take entire teams of scientists to put together the structures of a handful of proteins. Now, computers are able to model hundreds of proteins in mere minutes. It's absolutely incredible, and I'm hard pressed to think that material science would advance in any other way.

Hybrid EVs will dominate the EV industry for the foreseeable future. They are the only EV solution which is comparable to petrol vehicles. Plug in EVs are not fit for purpose as a replacement for petrol vehicles, and either won’t be or will take decades to become a suitable alternative. Expect Hybrid vehicle platforms to become the future of automotive propulsion, for several valid reasons. 1- they don’t take hours to charge their batteries 2- Their batteries are far smaller than plug in EVs 3- Parasitic devices are not dependent upon the battery pack 4- Cabin HVAC is not dependent upon the Battery pack 5- They are lighter weight than plug in EVs 6- They deploy much smaller and more efficient petrol engines. 7 They can be deployed into any transportation platform with great success. 8- They can be constructed without the need to depend upon exotic raw materials.

The Nio ET5 has a range of 1,000km (with a 150KW battery) and can swap to another full battery at a station in 4 minutes. If one needs the car only for daily trips to work & can charge at home then range is not an issue and no time wasted at a gas station. Big and fast changes happening to the EV cars technology. Internal combustion engines are becoming a history.

Honestly, I think this is such a fucking cope. People such as yourself try to make it sound like EVs and EV technology is too young and undeveloped to be at all practical, and that's just simply NOT true. No, EVs are not developed to where they can outright replace ICE vehicles, but I'm not even necessarily sure if EVs will EVER replace ICE altogether. It may very well remain the case that for industrial and commercial applications, diesel engines and diesel generators powering electric motors (as is the case with modern trains) will remain to be the most common solutions. HOWEVER, when it comes to passenger vehicles and what the best solution is for everyday transportation and commuting, EVs are already in a position where they offer a real alternative to ICE vehicles, and it won't be very long AT ALL until EVs are MORE convenient - as it stands, the only real area where ICE vehicles are without a doubt more convenient than EVs is when used for long distance traveling. Yes, it is much quicker to completely fill a tank of gas than it is to completely charge an electric vehicle, but I think you greatly overstate how long it actually takes EVs to reach a full charge these days. Yes, if you have your car plugged in to a 110V wall socket next your vibrating dildo it's gonna take 24-36 hours to fully charge from 0%. But nobody charges their car like that anymore. At the very least, people are charging their cars at home on 220V, which cuts that charging time in half, and when they charge their cars at a charging station, most modern EVs are are able to fully charge in a half hour or less and be able to take you just over 300 miles, with some EVs having even longer ranges than that. How many miles can your car take you on a single tank of gas? Cause my 2.0t 4 cylinder Japanese sedan can take me about 360 miles on a single tank. 360 > 300 is NOT a selling point. Worst Worst case scenario, when you take a long trip, every 4 or 5 hours spent driving will have to be broken up by a half hour to stretch your legs, get some snacks, use the bathroom, and do whatever else while your car charges. Honestly, that's not that bad. Especially when the average person takes a trip of that sort maybe only a couple of times each year. Not to mention, the majority of people who are faced with a drive over 4 or 5 hours are probably just going to opt to fly anyway. And even in the case of people who work doing a lot of driving within their hometown/metropolitan area doing something like delivering food or working as a parts chaser for an auto shop, it would be rare to drive 300 miles in a single day, and even if you did drive more than that, you can just park at a charging station when you take your lunch break and get a full fucking charge in before you have to clock back in. As for price, idk what cars you're looking at, or if you think all EVs are the same price as Teslas, but EVs are actually incredibly affordable. Brand new EVs are within the exact same price range as their ICE counterparts, they're cheaper to operate because electricity is WAY cheaper than gas, they require maintenance less often than ICE vehicles, and when they do, it's often cheaper as well, and contrary to what you believe, EVs are actually FAR more reliable and cheaper on repairs over the lifetime of the car than gasoline or diesel vehicles. As for longevity, are we all just forgetting that vehicles haven't gone 300k miles and lasted people for decades since we left the 90s? Most people drive about 12,000 miles per year. So saying that EVs "only" last 10 years before needing a battery replacement is fucking asinine. You show me any car out there other than a Toyota that isn't going to need some form of major repairs done on it once it's ran over 120k miles. Honestly, I just see comments like yours and it's obvious that you've never actually looked into whether EVs COULD be convenient or not, and you're simply repeating the talking points that every EV hater parrots but doesn't understand in the least. Either that, or you use examples of rare use cases and apply it to say EVs can't fulfill the needs of everyday commuting. You MAYBE driving from Houston to Dallas once a year to visit your in laws at Christmas is a stupid fucking reason to disqualify you from purchasing a vehicle which is more than capable of getting you to and from work everyday, running all of your errands, and taking you around for a night on the town without ANY issues, and doing it all more cheaply than an ICE could. I should know. I owned one of the very first EVs available on the market, and even that car with its 90 mile range was plenty for getting me around the urban sprawl of San Diego county. It was my ONLY car. I drove it every day, had ZERO issues, paid only $27 extra in electricity charges (in one of the most expensive cities in the nation for electricity), and not once did I run into an issue where I couldn't do something because my car limited me. EV technology has only gotten SUBSTANTIALLY better since then. To be frank, I really think that what you're saying is simply your way of being able to justify your refusal to make a responsible decision, because you just don't give a fuck. And between you and me, I would respect you a hell of a lot more if you'd just come out with the truth and tell everyone that you actually just don't really care, and that their environmental concerns inspire nothing but apathy in you and that everyone can kiss your ass. At least then you're just an asshole, instead of being an asshole AND a pussy.

If I'm not mistaken, EV's have started to use more proprietary cell structures for their batteries. BUT! Up until just a few short years ago, basically all EV batteries, regardless of automaker, just used a shitload of 18650s wired together into arrays which were further wired together into assemblies further wired together to act as one. For example, something like 20 18650s would be wired together in parallel and treated as a single "cell", then 10 of those "cells" would be wired together in series as a single "battery." Now, I don't know exactly how many 18650s were used at each level, so those figures of 20 and 10 are just to illustrate a point, but yes, originally, EV battery manufacturers DID use 18650s as the base unit battery with which they built their battery arrays.
