The biggest problem is that the national electric grid would need to be upgraded and there would have to be an improvement in generation of said grid. WHO PAYS?
My EV Requirements before considering: Charging to 80-100% in 10 mins or less. Range per charge 700 miles or more (Solid State); Battery life 1 million miles ir more; Robust fast charging infrastructure; COLD weather performance nearly same as normal temps; HOT weather performance nearly same as normal temps; RELIABILITY; AFFORDABILITY
The battery pack already lasts longer then the car body. A new study just came out last week that said that it is less than 1% of EVS replaced their batteries over the life of the vehicle. The study covered the last like 15 years of EV ownership.
@@Gunter_Custom There are some real advantages. Like the Chevy Silverado gets 440 miles of range. Great. but it weights 3000 pounds. That's a lot of stuff to lug around every time you go to work and back which is only 10 miles. With battery swapping,, a person can maybe lug around 100 miles of range (maybe 500 lbs) and then swap when a long trip comes. Battery swapping also would help your car depreciate a lot slower. A buyer of a used can no longer cares just how good the battery is. Battery swapping also allows cars to upgrade to better batteries as the tech improves. And battery swapping would make the dealerships more happy to sell EVs, since they would have business swapping batteries at the end of lease periods, etc.
@@jlamm2223443 very slim senario . There are a lot of other reasons battery swapping is dumb .. You will never know if the battery was damaged by someone else .. or it's old and when it's supposed to have that 100 miles of range it only gets 70.. or less than 50 on a cold day . Not to mention how many extra batteries they would have to have racked up at each location with the different capacities.. Not economically viable . Like hydrogen.. not economically viable. Also already proven by all the refueling stations being closed by Shell and BP.
@@Gunter_Custom Well first we can consider whether one is going to buy an EV at all. If the answer is "no", then I would say the points you make are well taken. But if the answer is "yes", then what you say are REASONS for battery swapping. Like you say the following: "You will never know if the battery was damaged by someone else .. or it's old and when it's supposed to have that 100 miles of range it only gets 70.. or less than 50 on a cold day ". To that I would say "exactly", and that is a big part of why EVs depreciate so fast. And because they depreciate so fast, people don't want to buy new ones either. Suppose you bought a used EV and the battery only gets 70 miles when it should get 100. Then fine, "swap the battery:, It isn't a big deal. Compare that to trying to get your money back for a car with a non-swappable battery. Also, suppose you swap the batter and it gets 120 miles when it should have gotten 100. Then fine, just keep the battery and charge the EV through chargers. Also, when you renew your lease, you can decide on whether leasing a brand new one, or gently used one. By swapping the battery out, the dealer has a chance to do a good check on the battery, perhaps with ultra-sound, etc., to give it a certificate of it being in good shape and good for X miles on a charge. Also, as batteries get better, you can choose to upgrade from 100 miles to 200 miles next lease and pay the same money, or keep what you have for less money, knowing well it was fully new when you first leased it and you have gotten in no accidents. You can even go to the dealership and let them lease it out if you are going to be gone for 6 months. You can swap a few days for a brand new 1000 mile battery for that trip to Miami and then get your old one back. And you car does not depreciate nearly as fast since a buyer does not have to take your word that the battery is good. Just swap it at the first sign of trouble, or pay to have it taken out and really checked.
@@jlamm2223443 well I completely disagree ..and so does Elon Musk .. he has said many times that battery swapping is not economical for anyone .. And since no one does it in the USA and none of the US manufacturers are planing on doing it.. It's really a worthless conversation .. But good luck to you and we will probably meet again. 😊
THIS IS WHY I haven't bought any electric vehicle so far. The battery SHOULD last for at LEAST 16 years, so that battery doesn't needs to get EXCHANGED in the lifespan of the EV. THIS confirms it's getting CLOSER and CLOSER to that goal, which is AWESOME!
Sorry! You have missed so many of the issues with EVs. A million mile battery is not going to make a golden carriage out of a pumpkin! Ask yourself, where is the electricity coming from? When Elon makes Electricity so available that it is free, then will be only one of the many hurdles to overcome. There is not the copper in the world to provide for everyone to own an EV! Full stop!
In the not too distant future I think consumers will be given a choice of battery packs in the same way we choose engine sizes V4, V6 or V8. I can see consumers having choice of range, charging speeds and cost with faster charging speeds and greater range costing more money. Low cost vehicles will have a base price that is considered affordable but it will have limited range of say 250 miles per charge with a charging speed of 30 minutes from 10 to 80 percent. The consumer then adds on options like FSD, larger more sophisticated battery packs and an array of features much like we choose with today’s purchase.
I will buy a new Tesla as soon as it gets a fast charging Million Mile battery. Elon should make the Million Mile battery an option now and not wait until 2025. That would sky rocket sales!!!

Way prefer to buy an electric car that could hold a longer charge where it wouldn’t need charging so often. Still wish we could afford one over here. But hey, good on Elon for always trying to improve on an amazing car as it is.
But that fuel tank doesn't require an engine and only costs 2 cents per mile to operate. The electric motor needs no maintenance, service, oil, or replacement. Down the road, what you save in fuel will pay for a new battery pack assuming you want to keep your car more than ten years.
@@PETERJOHN101 that's great. You buy them. Tell the government to stop mandating them like they really give a f about the environment, while they provoke wars all around the world.
J’espère que Elon vas avantager toute les premiers clients des premières années qui ont encourager Tesla à faire en sorte qu’il ont contribué aux succès de Tesla actuellement !
Interchangeable battery pack stations is better? With world EV makers agree on battery specs and confrigerations, it is possible to do so. If batt switch speed become shorter than conventional charing time, it will beome reasonable for anybody to choose EV over IC vehicle.
Granting the superlatives for the ‘new’ battery is true and accurate, until its manufactured, used, and proven dependable in widespread application, it is still a big if.
Any anyone please advise why a battery would be rated based on distance travelled rather than charge discharge cycles ? If the battery doesn’t come with a manufacturer’s warranty to match the claim does to really anything.
The miles are what people can easily wrap their brains around ..most ice cars won't last 200k miles .. so it is easy to compare. Plus the size of battery and number of charges needed to get to 1 million miles will be different for all the different size vehicles ..😊
I trulky believe that Lithium Ion batteries will be a thing of the past soon. Sodium Ion or other battery packs with more abundant resources will be the next big thing.
A million miles is not so important. Energy storage, charge efficiency, Safety, and Cost are more important TRLs. Deterioration of the battery is part and parcel of the chemistry. This is no different to that chemical bag that contains us.
Use only solar power to charge EV. Every time EV goes up in flames, or self driving gets into an accident where the driver is injured, the customer gets a check for $1 million dollars. The fine doubles for each car fire.
The cars wheels produce the electricity, technology has been around for hundreds of years, old offshore light houses use massive generators x2 now there as small as 12 inches, produce more electricity, only reason we don't have them made is energy companies will kill you 😅
Sorry! But you are all missing the big issue with Electric Vehicles! It is not just the battery that is currently an issue, it is where does the Electricity come from to charge the battery in the first place? In the USA the Electrical grid is fed electricity from predominantly Coal fired Electricity Generators! In the U.K. it is gas, oil or Wood pellets! Going further down the rabbit hole, we have not got anything like the electricity going into the grid as would be needed to provide for millions more EVs! California are already rationing EVs charging during the day, as EV charging has such a damaging impact on the Electrical grid. This is the same around the world! It takes many years to plan and build electricity generators. EVs are certainly going to be a part of the future, but they will never become mainstream. There are other limitations, such as the amount of copper needed to build EVs. Should governments insist on an EV future, there simply is not the copper available to provide for building the electrical motors and wiring required to provide for millions more EVs! EVs are not the green panacea they are supposed to be, in fact they are far more damaging to the Earth than ICE cars, we must stop this silly nonsense now!
I would like to see Tesla don't work with CATL which is a company put everything inside a blackbox. Tesla snould work with Japanese manufacturer to seek long term solution for battery.
Never mind a 1 million mile battery, where is the power coming to charge it? Not from the US grid in its present state or from renewable energy since there is neither the raw materials available to fix the grid and manufacture the turbine or solar cells needed or the trillions of dollars to achieve it.
16yrs that is miscellaneous if it only survives 15/16 years the multi-million Mi statement doesn't mean anything if the battery can only last 15 or 16 years maybe try 50yrs

Another fumbling bumbling BATERY tech (ha) vid. WOW 800AHr. Is this the new AI generated knowledge. Appallingly mind-numbing dumbing down junk talk. US influencers constantly making amazing new claims.
You should know it's easy and hard to make that much profit. I say EASY because it's very possible to make that much, and Hard because you'll need professional assistance to do it, I'd suggest you get assisted by a market advisor.
There are many interesting stocks in many industries that you might follow. You don't have to act on every forecast, so I'll suggest that you work with a financial advisor who can help you choose the best times to purchase and sell the shares or ETFs you want to acquire
I'm an advocate for having a diverse investment strategy. I grew to a 5 figure mark with my portfolio having exposure to different areas of the market, including small and large-caps of the ETF index, blue chip stocks, coins, grade bonds and alternatives like cryptocurrency markets, as this helps manage the overall risk on my portfolio managed by my FA.. Credits to my adviser, Jonathan, i have no doubt investing more
This video is hard to listen to. Its just propaganda, when you hear an authoritative voice like it's normally exaggerated marketing or down right lies like cult religious propaganda etc. I couldn't watch past 5 minutes
