What if your electric car could travel 1000 miles on a single charge, charge in 10 minutes, and last for 1 million miles?
Today just about every electric car uses lithium ion batteries. They’re pretty good, but ultimately are heavy and have long charging times for the amount of energy they can store.
According to Elon Musk, battery modules are the main limiting factor in electric vehicle life. In 2019 he said the Tesla Model 3 drive unit is rated for 1 million miles, but the battery isn’t as long lasting.
To handle the predicted demand explosion for electric vehicles over the coming decades, we’ll need to create a breakthrough battery that is cheaper, longer lasting, more durable, and more efficient. We must also address the issues of political and environmental sustainability to ensure batteries remain tenable in an increasingly electric future.
Over 80% of world’s lithium deposits are found in China, and current technology also relies heavily on cobalt, an element mostly found in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
After Tesla’s recent battery day, where Elon Musk announced a larger, tabless 4680 battery cell with improved energy density, greater ease of manufacturing, and lower cost. The world’s attention is now more focused on batteries than ever before, but Tesla isn’t the only show in town.
Lithium air batteries. Metal air batteries have been around for a while. You might find a little zinc air button cell in a hearing aid, for example, but scaled up aluminum and lithium air chemistries are also promising for the automotive and aerospace industries. The potential for lightweight batteries with high energy storage makes this battery technology promising. Lithium air batteries could have a maximum theoretical specific energy of 3,460 W h/kg , almost 10 times more than lithium ion. NASA researchers have also been investigating lithium air batteries for use in aircraft.
Nanotech Batteries. Nanotechnology has been a buzzword for several decades, but is now finding applications in everything from nanoelectronics to biomedical engineering, and body armor to extra-slippery clothing irons. Nanomaterials make use of particles and structures 1-100 nanometers in size, essentially one size up from the molecular scale. Carbon nanostructures also show great promise. Graphene is one of the most exciting of these. Amprius go one stage further with their anodes of ‘100% silicon nanowire’. The maker claims that they can achieve 500 Wh/kg which is in the range suitable for enabling electric aircraft in partnership with Airbus. Nanomaterial research is promising
Lithium sulphur batteries are one emerging technology that can offer greatly improved energy densities compared to lithium-ion. The theoretical maximum specific energy of this chemistry is 2,567 Wh/kg compared to lithium ion’s 350 Wh/kg maximum.
Solid state electrolytes. A common theme in emerging technologies so far has been researchers’ desire to develop solid state electrolytes. These would replace flammable organic liquids with stable, crystalline or glassy-state solids, or polymer-base. It is hoped that using these solid electrolytes would enable the use of metallic lithium electrodes to provide higher output voltages and allow for increased energy density. Panasonic have also been looking into solid state electrolytes. It is notable that Tesla have been partnered with Panasonic in their existing lithium-ion manufacturing capacity, but it is Toyota who have publicly announced their collaboration with Panasonic to develop next generation solid state batteries.
Samsung too are working on solid state batteries.
Dual carbon batteries. Two carbon electrodes and a non-toxic electrolyte with the ability to extract more power than from conventional lithium ion, and their ability to charge 20 times faster, and these lithium-ion variants could be the future for electric vehicles.
Better batteries are also important for the advancement of stationary storage from renewable energy sources such as solar power. Tesla is also making headway into this sector, with products like the powerwall home battery, and powerpack commercial energy storage products.
The technologies discussed in this video could have huge implications on different battery powered transportation options besides just electric cars. Imagine the potential in everything from electric bikes to electric scooters and electric boats to electric airplanes. Consumer electronics also stand to experience vast improvements in battery life in devices such as smart phones, laptops, cameras, and more. The future is electric!

Thank you Electric Future for featuring our carbon batteries. Our batteries have been integrated into e-bikes, e-scooters, robotics, drones, power banks, and power stations this year. Our batteries have been mass-produced. We are somewhat ahead of this race. We are a Japanese startup, and the next year, we are ready to expand rapidly and globally. Our Drones already fly 40% longer than Li-Po due to our unique voltage drop patterns.

Even a 100% solar panel covered car can only generate a relatively small amount of energy, depending on the brightness and angle of the light. Current solar panel technology needs a relatively large surface area to generate a significant amount of energy. Instead they should concentrate on controlled nuclear fission and fusion power which is magnitudes higher and more efficient than solar, wind, etc.

Funny how other companies are trying to reinvent the wheel, Chevy Volt has got it right a long time ago. ;) Moreover, moving electric is merely moving the carbon output from the tailpipe to some large fossil fuel power plant somewhere else.... the old adage, "Robbing Peter to pay Paul". Clean and nowadays safe nuclear power generation is the key to eliminate pollution.

[@khaledsoliman5128]

When the United States Tec adopts the use of transmission charging., the battery will not be used as a dependent usage for anything to function, rather it will become a backup than a standard function. Time will tell.

[@keptinkaos6384]

really fusion hasn't happened... but only 20 years ago we thought a nickel-metal hydride rechargeable with only 600 milliamps AA with maybe a hundred careful if you were lucky cycles was pretty good now you can buy a 3000 lion with hundreds of cycles that is literally 5 times the performance of 20 years ago an most of that was in the last 10 years when people actually started to give a shit no there been no change at all none 🙄

According to some sources Tesla made electric car to demonestrate potential of his tower that did ride for a week or two, before getting shut down and destroyed. People back than though it was some magic and were scared. And mainly rich people had lot of money in fossil fuel industry and to this day hold us back. It fucked up, when we see how much better Teslas(cars) are after just few years of development with current technology. So much wasted potential over 100 years due to supressing Nikola Tesla.

On top of that, he likely had OCD or something like that, so he would get really obsessed and interested in some things. Also he had insomnia or didnt sleep a lot. If he was one of the people who actually need just few hours of sleep and be fully energized troughout the day, then he had another very rare condition. And ofc his intelligence and creativity were very high.

Tesla's battery seem to be the only one with a path to cost effective mass production. The rest seem to be only in a lab state and as you may already know, stuff in the lab usually stays in the lab for pretty much indefinitely. Elon Musk has stated that prototype is an easy part. Actually getting into mass production is 1,000x-10,000x harder.

For grid storage that already exists. Have a look at the 800mw Vanadium flow battery in Dalian China (amongst others). It's safe - built slap bang in the middle of a city. It never degrades, (currently warrantied for 25-30 years) and can be simultaneously charged and discharged multiple times a day. It isn't for cars but for large scale, it's currently by far the best solution. Vanadium can also be recycled into use for steel if the battery is finished with, therefore also being able to be leased, reducing cost upfront. Imagine trying to lease degrading lithium.

I think batteries will always be of lithium, you hear every week that researchers have found a wonderful battery that is made of different materials, none came to fruition, these were scams, the team of researchers wants people to "invest" there it is! they just want people's money, the only thing that makes sense is "improving lithium batteries" people can invest in that

[@istoppedcaring6209]

true, the problem has not been generating electricity but storing and distributing it, whomever develops cheap powerfull efficient batteries may hold the greatest development of the decade in his hands.

Did I write that, that is scary!!!

[@johnegan1623]

Please correct me if I am wrong but don't each of these 5 new technologies except the Cambrian one still ustilze Lithium even if in smaller amounts than in current Li batteries?

Correction: The Tesla 4680 battery does not have a 50% higher density. It store 50% more energy, but it comes with an equal increase in battery size. Which means the density remains unchanged.

I like the video.! At near the end of it it shows a bus with a "removeable" battery pack. This to overcome the charge time by unhook the used battery and hookup a charged one.

[@johnmarks227]

Fork lifts have been doing that for years.

[@retiredjan4714]

@@johnmarks227 I know.. in 1983 i used a customers battery pack to power the electronics, of his fruit grader, just to get it thru the day. The problem was there where dc/dc convertors connected in parallel with one of them connected in reverse, so not having 3x but actualy only 1 servering power to the system :(

thanks for this video! update on battery technology advancements are crucial for future development, unfortunately perspective battery tech take a long way from university lab to o market, it takes at least 5 to 7 years

[@RoySATX]

The molten salt tech appears as though it would be great for large-scale storage, such as solar farms, etc. but it's certainly not for mobile or small-scale applications. Not on my e-bike anyway!

@electric_future what happened to plastic lithium batteries? has solid state replaced them or are they an attempt to circumvent the use of plastic batteries?

Something to note about gasoline vs lithium: while a gallon of has contains over 30 kwh of energy, internal combustion engines are only like 25-35% efficient in contrast to electric motors being well over 90% efficient.

Hi .i have this intresting course on how you can make your battery get alive again Notre produit apprend aux gens à reconditionner tous les types de piles anciennes et à les ramener à 100% de leur état de fonctionnement. Cela permet aux gens d'économiser de l'argent et est très attrayant. C'est un produit qui aide vraiment les gens. Et c’est un produit dont vous pouvez être fier de promouvoir, car le programme de reconditionnement des piles EZ permet aux gens d’économiser de l’argent et aide la Terre (car il empêche les piles de se retrouver dans les décharges). La plupart des gens dépensent plus de 15 000 $ en piles au cours de leur vie et ce nombre continue d'augmenter chaque jour car les gens utilisent de plus en plus de piles et les piles continuent de devenir plus chères. Mais notre cours permet de réduire cet énorme coût car les gens peuvent réutiliser à la place de vieilles piles (reconditionnées)! Nous apprenons également aux gens comment entretenir correctement les batteries afin que leurs nouvelles batteries durent beaucoup plus longtemps

1 US gallon is approx 3.78 litres, taking the weight density of gasoline as 748kg/m^3, and 1m^3=1000 litres. So gasoline weighs .748kg/litre (approx). 0.748*3.78= 2.83 kg 1 gallon of gasoline weighs about 2.83 kg and has 30 kwh, energy density of 1kg gasoline is 30/2.83= 10.6 kwh Assuming 25% efficiency 0.25*10.6= 2.65 kwh. Gasoline powered engine with 25% efficiency outputs 2.65 kwh of energy per kg of fuel. Energy density of tesla battery for 1kg is 0.26 kwh. Assuming 90% efficiency 0.9*0.26= 0.234 kwh. Output of combustion engine per kg of fuel is 2.65 kwh and for electric vehicle it is 0.234 kwh. You might say we can use a larger size battery to compensate for the lower range but the battery would also weigh more, so the electric car would require more energy to propagate itself. In short, we still have a long way to go.

Graphene should be used now in Tesla’s new battery 🔋 packs. I can tell you where.

Ya learning all they know then once you’ve learned you can adjust and find your own ideas that improve the battery tech and that’s good but always keep open mind as you can possibly push the battery tech further than any one else ever can so you people learn grow and show you can open you mind and show the teachers more than they know then you become the teacher a lot of awesome ideas

These sound amazing. Though the one problem is mass producing the batteries. Sounds like Tesla is the only one that has shown how they will do it. I am quite looking forward to seeing if anyone else can produce anything as cheaply and in volume as Tesla.

I may recommend some music in the background. I notice when you talk there are moments of silence in between tracks. This is a personal issue, but the silence is causing popping in between audio track changes.
