NEW VW/Gotion battery tech is a MASSIVE game changer

[@marcreynolds7948]

My Bolt has a 60 kWh pack which weighs about 1000 pounds. Those who are astute at driving can "feel" this mass during maneuvering, especially in negotiating curves and encountering dips/rises in the roadway. In my view, the best benefit of having a lighter pack comprising the same kWh capacity will be in having a more nimble driving experience with the car relieved of excessive mass.

[@edwarddejong8025]

This is a great video because it explains clearly how highly dependent on battery tech the EV market is. Even a 10% improvement is huge, because it means less weight, which then yields more range. It is a virtuous circle, and successive generations of battery tech will further accelerate EV adoption. My father invested his life savings in EV's in 1970; formed a startup with a CalTech professor who was a pioneer in Transistors (worked under Shockley at Cambridge), but at the time the only battery chemistries were Lead Acid and Nickel Cadmium. So EV's were hopelessly impractical, except in wheelchairs and forklifts for indoor use. As a friend of mine says, the one deadly enemy of high tech is higher tech. The winner of the battery wars will be highly rewarded; it is a battle of chemistry & physics, and sadly the USA has but only a few percent of the people worldwide working in this area.

Thus Neo could use battery swapping also for degraded battery packs to replace high performance battery packs that don't have a long service life.

Weight is a very small part of a car's efficiency. Would make a plane more possible. But really for cars its about cost per kwh.

[@peterthomas144]

Agreed. Energy/ weight is an aeronautical issue where costs can be offset against performance. Electric vehicle are a power/cost issue and only whilst we await infrastructure improvements. Once charge speed is significantly improved and charging infrastructure is adequate larger batteries will become more of a hindrance than an advantage and energy density will be a relative non issue

[@keithmcfarland3819]

IMO, this will greatly increase the feasibility of producing electric sports cars with good handling characteristics. While straight-line performance is always fun, today's EVs run into the Laws of Physics as soon as you try to enter Turn #1 at speed. A heavy sports car just isn't gonna handle the twists and turns in the same way as a lightweight sports car, regardless of how much power and torque you have on tap. However... if you cut that battery weight IN HALF, your favorite twisty road suddenly becomes a much different (and much quieter) place. Also... braking performance!

[@ccibinel]

Maybe someone should tell Tesla that. Even with new battery innovations the pack planned for the roadster will need to be huge for its 600 mile range (likely 1000lb or more). The simplest way to cut the weight of the pack is to drop the range to 200-300 miles and that should be fine given the design goal. Even with the Aptera (a vehicle with ludicrous efficiency) the 600+ mile range options will need very heavy packs; the 1000 mile version's pack alone will end up weighing about the same as the 250 mile base version.

If we take the Hyundai Ioniq Electric with it's 28kwh battery, that had an energy density of 112.4wh/kg according to Hyundai's figures. According a tester on KZbin in winter it got about 213wh per mile energy efficiency, so it's 250KG battery managed 131 miles in winter, the same weight battery with this density would achieve more than 3X the range, you could have close to a 90kwh pack, with the car achieving about 420 miles of range. The same 28kwh pack would weigh under 80KG, that's less than a 3rd of the weight for the same capacity. Double the capacity and you can still drop the weight by almost 100KG, the car would easily achieve more than 260 miles of range in winter!

[@oldgandy5355]

If you double the range per kilo of battery, you can keep the overall range of the car the same, reduce the weight of the car, keep the performance specs the same, and increase the profit margin by raising the price to consumers by only fifty percent. What a deal. Nice bogus. I mean bonus.

Given less packaging and thermal management requirements this is perhaps equivalent to 275-300 for NCM/NCA cylindrical cells when made into a functional pack; So basically the current state of the art NCA/NCM with all the other advantages of LFP. The super high end can still be in sports cars and planes but for 95+% of vehicles LFP is definitely the far better option.

The fact that Neo - is a customer - suggests to me the battery life cycle is not good; and that it will need to be swapped out periodically.

[@Nphen]

Nio doesn't do battery swaps because the cells have degraded. They do them as an alternative to fast charging. You're right to think about cycle life though. LFP can do over 2000 charge cycles. Some new chemistry cells and solid state can only do 400-700 charge cycles. Not enough for an EV.

[@TheCostofAutism]

It's not that they would put in a 60 kilowatt battery and you would get the same range it's actually that they would put in let's say a 150 KW battery that would give you obviously about 50% more range but it would be about the same size and weight as much as the old 100 kilowatt battery. Because it's the same size and the weight is about the same what that ends up meaning is that the cost to manufacture is about the same as a 100 KW battery.

[@brunosmith6925]

If you try to harness that wind energy you will cause drag, draining the battery faster. Solar yes, Aptera are already doing that. But you need a very efficient vehicle to take advantage of solar, because the amount of energy generated by a solar panel is tiny compared to the demands of an EV.

Sam When talking about "battery size". You need to start distinguishing between CELL energy DENSITY rather than "size", then PACK "size in terms of volume or energy density.

Compared to "ternary cells at 220wl/kg"? Is that pack level?(last reports of Tesla 2170 place them at 260-270 at cell level?) Seems like you're mixing apples and oranges? . Let's assume "cell level" With energy density of 330 W/kg to start (and not speculating on 4680. .. yet) So, about 20% up on Tesla 2170, more over others? Then assume similar drivetrain / aero efficiency as Tesla. 1000km (620m?) range 120kWh pack? If we reduce the range to "EPA" and compare pack size is it any more energy dense than the Lucid? (Insert "but the Lucid pack" comments here). .... Then, the "NIO Dilemma" Pack swapping. If you have an "ultra range" car, with a dense energy pack, that density implies high density cell, indicating fast discharge ability, which in turn suggests fast charge. .

I'd like to know more, there are 5 Main battery features we all need to know when you talk about Game changing - if it is Lithium based it likely isn't good enough, as Lithium is in a short supply already. Energy Density, Cost per Kg. Durability/cycles, safety, charging time. I didn't hear you mention more than density; and unfortunately you say its Lithium based. There was no mention of cost, charging cycles, charge time, safety. If it falls on its face in any of these areas - it is not game changing it is a fail.

As Mel Brooks wrote about in the script for Spaceballs, "Merchandising, the power of the Schwartz." After a career in sales I know this is true, you've got to market to your audience. What's yours? Fun fact, of the top ten English speaking nations, 2 thought 10 represent 1/3 of the primarily English speaking world. The USA is the other two thirds. What I HATE about watching your videos from Florida, USA is every time you make a point about EV performance, other than electric power, you do so only in Metric and Celsius. This forces 2/3 of your potential audience like myself to pause and calculate Kilometers to Miles, and Celsius to Fahrenheit in order to understand the technical specs of your presentations. If I were running your KZbin railroad, I'd give data in both to make sure 2/3rds of my potential audience had the info in a format they like and can easily understand. In the meantime and from now on, every video I see where you only give specs in Metric and Celsius will get a thumbs down from me. And I encourage every American, 2/3rds of your potential audience, to do the same until you speak to us as well as the minority of English speaking world in your videos. I hope you step up and give data both ways so the majority of us understand without have to do conversions every time we spend our time watching your channel. Best, Bill

USA should give up their crazy (non)metrics nobody understands. At least you don't drive on the wrong side of the road. 😉
