Three years ago, I went for an EV test drive after my brother said i would never have an EV. I bought one and the price due to pre-reg, was roughly the same as the new EVs coming out this year. I had to scrap my home petrol station and strengthen the drawbridge, of course! Never say Never...Mr Bond.....

@DeveloperChris День назад

The biggest problem is the charging network. It doesn't matter how fast the battery can be charged if there are no chargers that can charge at that rate. CATL BYD and other battery makers should be leading the charge (pun intended) to build more chargers. also Ice vehicles are up to 60 times more likely to catch fire while sitting parked than an EV.

China has ULTRA HIGH LONG DISTANCE AC/DV power distrubution, its world class and way ahead of anything anywhere else in the world so they can and will do Cat4 500whr and Ive seen 800whr chargers as they will work. The grid was made for it, powerloss from generating power in Tibet and delivery in the easten china is now not a dream but reality. Our grid in AU cant handle the solar going into it as it is and Ive had a street capacitor blowup (sounded like a 911 bomb blast) and now they will be charginf or over 5khr into the grid so you now spend your money on batts at home. Our 240V power grid 50hz 10AMPS single phrase. 3 phrase is 240V 30A (240x30Ah=700what hr) AC that now needs to be converted to DC. These are native Ah500/700 DC!

Another talking point is how much electricity that is used to refine petrol. Last year the UK used 2.83 billion gallons of petrol. It takes 15Kwh of electricity to refine one gallon of petrol. There are approximately 32 million private cars on the roads of the UK. If all of them where electric and 8:07 you do the sums that is 135.265 Kw of electricity per car enough to allow a low efficiency EV 3.2 miles per KWh, drive 425,000 miles a year. Just with the energy used to refine petrol. Interesting....

@paulweston1106 2 дня назад

Where did you get 15kWh of electricity to refine 1gallon of petrol? I've seen various figures for this but none that high (typically see around 5kWh); it's still relevant to the discussion but needs to be accurate,

@iscadean6038 День назад

Stop BS suggests 25% of the grid is used to refine petrol/diesel. So, as fossil fuel production is reduced the replacement EVs will not require a new improved grid. Then, when the grid is made ‘smart’, the grid will use vehicle batteries as backup peak energy. It really is a win-win.

@mikejsoames1996 День назад

@@paulweston1106 maybe I should have looked further. I agree with 5kw but even taking that into account it would still amount to a lot of miles in a EV.

@peeemm2032 День назад

According to most credible sources (e.g. Argonne labs in the USA), the well to tank efficiency for petrol (pumping oil out of the ground, tanker transport to refinery, refining, transport from refinery to petrol station etc) is about 80% to 85% efficient. There is about 40kwh of energy in a gallon of petrol, so if you assume 80% efficiency, ALL of the well to tank processes use 10kwh of ENERGY. Most of this is process heat for cracking and reforming, fractional distillation etc., obtained by burning byproducts of the refining process. Only a small amount of this is electricity, used to run pumps etc. To convert the 10kwh of ENERGY used to produce a gallon of petrol into electricity to run an EV would require you to burn it in something to generate electricity. This would have an efficiency of between about 33% for a thermal power station to 58% for a closed cycle gas turbine, so you would end up with between 3.3kwh, and 5.8kwh of electricity. This is enough to run something like a Tesla model 3 for between about about 14 miles, and 24 miles. A Mazda 3 gets something like 50mpg. Your figures come from a quote by Elon Musk, which is basically just more marketing BS,, and has been widely debunked......

It is but people don’t want to listen. My ID3 averages 200 and a charge easily lasts all week. I have to add a bit of charge to do a return trip to London but averaging the cost it still cheaper than ICE. Used public chargers less than once a month in the last 11 months and still wracked up 9.5k miles. Not even commuting, I work from home. The only time it’s been a bit of a ball ache was a holiday in Cornwall. I’d only had the car a couple of weeks and was a bit green. I had a few queues or chargers I couldn’t get working because I didn’t have the app or the signal was crap. I got buy hitting McDonalds and InstaVolt. The journey home was fairly straightforward. That extra 100 mile you have I’d have been fine. One of my regular trips is 170 mile and a couple of times I stuck an extra £6 or £7 worth on public charger and the average still works out cheaper than what I used to get out of the 60mpg Corolla. It also didn’t cost anymore than similar specced Golf / Focus / Astra @ the time of purchase. I very nearly got an MG4 but the payments were £30 a month more. We are already seeing cheap 2nd EVs hitting the market and I think we’ll do a slow burn change as the message gets out. So many people saying the can’t afford a new Ev but most car sales aren’t new. They were never going to buy a new car EV or ICE. There are some great used cars 15-18k which is the average price paid for a used car apparently. I’d go as far to say even @ 12k miles a year most current EVs have adequate range.

@alasdairdougall7868 2 дня назад

Given the number of charging points, that is so true. We drive our Tesla Model 3 the 900km from Brisbane to Newcastle while I only stop twice to charge. Could almost do it on one charge, but three hours driving and stopping for a rest and food is a good idea.

@anthonybrown4874 2 дня назад

Interesting news Dave as you seem to explain it if I understand it correctly these batteries stuffed into an existing design will go up to 2x as far. More importantly you can have a specifically designed car with half the battery and cost and weight which now enables somewhere near to price parity and assists much more specific EV architecture. That's if I understand your report correctly exciting times ahead.

@rogerfinch7651 2 дня назад

Yup. Half the weight, efficiency up massively and small sports cars will handle better.

@tedmack6516 2 дня назад

For the record CATL does not use cobalt or nickel. They have gone all in on LFP (lithium ferrous phosphate) with Sulphur doping on the cathode. For the range anxious BYD has a hybrid model that will give you 2000 km range on a 150 km charge and a 65 litre of petrol/gasoline.

Cobalt isn’t one of the rare earth elements. They are not actually rare as such, but finding them in quantities that can be economically extracted is not common, so that is where the term comes from.

@rogerfroud300 15 часов назад

This will make a huge difference, charging time is far more important than range. I doubt if Tesla will ever offer a 1000Km range car if it can be charge faster. Why would you need that? The faster the charging rate, the fewer chargers you need at motorway services. Oil is doomed however you look at it. The end to end efficiency is terrible, and that alone is enough to kill them off. Fairly soon, you won't be able to make an ICE car as cheaply as a BEV. Batteries are only going to get more dense, faster charging, lighter and cheaper. Once battery costs are cheap, which they inevitably will be, you won't be able to get close to making an ICE engine and power train which is ludicrously complex by comparison.

@LelandPratt-nw9ix 8 часов назад

I’ve expected to see improvements in battery technologies, but the original dogged effort to adapt lithium batteries and prove EVs could deliver useable power and range was the was really the start of providing a viable option to burning petroleum.

Are the folks in Boston going to be happy in the winter months? Once all the R&D has been done by the manufacturers, and paid for by the current batch of EV drivers, and the product is of similar quality/capability to the one they want to replace, I might just be enticed.

How many people travel even 100 miles a day? Its got to be less than 5% of the total market who need more than that. So these new high capacity batteries are more important to those who can't charge at home. So one trip a month to a lower cost Tesla supercharger to save over 50% on their old petrol bill :-) Nothing not to like. If I had an option to buy a 600 mile range I would only pay the extra if I could not charge at home for the convenience of only having to charge once a month or more in our case. My 160 mile range i3 is perfect for us because we can charge at home.

@DrDave_63395 2 дня назад

It enables the car designers more potential to optimise the offerings around battery capacity , weight , size. Imagine your i3 with its 42kWh battery being half the weight and half the size and probably Lower price and longer range. BTW most of the time our i3 is charged at home and does less than 40 miles in a day. But there have been occasions when doubling the range to around 300 miles would have been beneficial.

We are now poised for the great crossover moment, when the actual sticker prices of EVs will be less than their gas consuming brethren. And when that happens, there'll be no going back.

One thing bugging me. Cars are advertised on MPG, and not the size of the fuel tank, yet EV's are advertised on the size and/or range of the battery pack, and not on the mpkW. Due to how my contract is before this company took over, I take my empty van home. the journey to/from work plus actual work mileage is around 104 miles per day (50 miles of motorway @ 68mph limiter), but the bosses say it is not practical for me to have and EV van due to the distance. My working out says the Transit van I drive (in eco mode) does around 40-42 mpg, depending on weather (I lose 2mpg using the air con), I also work out that an EV doing 2.4mpkW uses around 40kW, and 3mpkW uses around 34kW, and have been told that there EV company cars are closer to 4.2mpkW. The contracted place for us to fuel vans is at 1.537 per litre, and costs between £16.50 and £17.80 per daily run. My local Tesla Supercharger is 42p/34p a kW (latter a member). Member costs (with monthly £8.99 fee) work out around £13 for 2.5mpkW (40kW) and £10 for 3mpkW (34kW). So surely if people get there heads sorted, they can see that EVs are much cheaper to run, but need to see that mpkW figure, like they see the mpg figure.

Its irrelevant as the mpg is dependent upon many factors, the least of which is how I (you) as a driver actually drive it, so Ivdont see as how it really matters in the great scheme of things. People buy a car for many varied, personal reasons, I suspect that the size of the fuel tank and/or mpg will not be featuring at the top of the list...if at all.

The ability to get that sort of power to a location to charge a car is hugely expspenve and its competting against free home slow charging and cheap off peak rates. The battery advencement is good, the problem is the network. It was designed for HVoltage to delivering lowVoltage to homes. Now with homes pushing 5-20kwhr back into the grid thats almost broken the viability of the grid to function and why they are moving to user pays if pushing over 5kwh (this will drop to 3, trust me) ~ china can build 800Whhr chargers as they are building a SUPER HIGH VOLTAGE GRID accross china, its first class and way ahead of the world! The rest of us are screwed as you just dont get the maths behind DC/AC delivery and storage problems and costs!

Not just EVs, but all battery storage, like home solar, would be hugely improved, if this is true

We will see but problems remain. He blows off the problems with the electric grid likes it nothing, just the amount of copper needed to bring it on par with what is needed for a total conversion to EVs is insane, and we just don't have the copper mines to produce what's needed. Also remember that the more energy dense a battery becomes, the potential for destruction goes up if they have a flaw and we just don't know yet. If you go back a few years the same people were telling us how fantastic EV are and that the time to buy is now! Ask yourselves if it was perfect then, how come it turned out not to be? But now it is again... When it comes to cost just get it out of your head that you will save money by switching to an EV. We all know how politicians want those taxes and they will make bloody sure to tax the EVs up to the same level as soon as enough people switch. I just say stay skeptical and you make bloody sure it's the right thing to buy for you!

It will take a complete re-work of the grid. To do that you'll need to step outside of how we do things now to overcome some of its shortcomings. The grid today requires massive distribution systems from a relatively few very large generation plants. A better way is to bring smaller stations and even better would be renewable stations closer to the point if use. Where stations can't be provided there would be storage facilities which charge when demand is lower and provide increased supply for peak periods. BEV's many years ago were fantastic for those where the product fit the need of the consumer. The BEV's now in the pipeline will fit the need for a much larger portion of the consumer market. The CATL battery he is talking about has already gone through stress and longevity testing as it's currently in the manufacturing stage. In the past when you've heard about new tech in batteries it was when they achieved small scale results in design labs. Anyone in manufacturing will tell you the jump from design to manufacturing is where all the real problems come to light. The don't need 10-years to test as the batteries will go through rapid charge and discharge cycles as well as thermal or physical cycling that will replicate 10-years of use. This is the same process virtually every other material is subjected to before it's put into a building, airplane, etc... As petrol use diminishes the tax generation for road repair will need to come from somewhere. Here in the states that makes up a small portion of the total cost of the fuel. Where you live it might be higher. While maintenance and refueling costs are much lower with BEV's the cost for tires and insurance is definitely higher. The higher density batteries can lower the weight and commuter cars can be "detuned" to lower the torque output. That would reduce the cost of both tires and Insurance.

How much tax revenue is being collected from fossil fuels? Out of interest is the government losing money? How much tax subsidies are going to EV and charging versus the taxes collected?

@paulcharlton2353 День назад

Having a greater energy density is great but using EV´s as works cars I have experienced sitting at chargers for sometimes over 1 hour to replenish the battery. The issue is the rate at which the battery can take charge and the ability of the charger to deliver charge. Having a battery that has by your figures 2.5 times the capacity (if the battery size, weight, remains the same) means spending 2.5 hours at the charger, all be it half as often. I frequently drive a BMW I7 which claims a max charge rate of 205 kw/h but even with a pre-conditioned battery on a supposedly 300 kw/h charger it has never exceeded 180 kw/h and only then for a matter of a few minutes before dropping off again. If that BMW had one of these new batteries it would have about 250 kwh of capacity or the equivalent of 8/9 average houses daily consumption. There are large areas of the grid that cannot support that level of increased demand and as a consequence will effectively throttle max recharge rates. Can these issues be overcome, of course. Does finding a solution to one of the challenges confronting EV´s sort out everything, of course not.

Cobalt is also used to remove sulfur from petroleum. Big Oil has no plans to stop mining cobalt.

@davideyres955 19 часов назад

Worth remembering the current thought is that the low sulphur for shipping fuel may have contributed to rising temperatures globally due to the reduction of the clouds is produced causing ocean temperatures to rise. The real problem is over consumption vs finance amount of capacity to absorb. Our ever growing population is the end game I’d the problem but everyone keeps harping on about driving an EV will save the planet. It won’t.

Increasing the speed of charging does nothing to counter the reality that building EV's and disposing/recycling EV's at the end of their useful lives is many times more damaging to the environment than ICE vehicles as well as the fact that in most countries EV's are nothing more than remote combustion vehicles generating many times more pollutants than ICE vehicles. Besides, I will believe this familiar "miracle" in battery production, fast charging, and "incredible range" when I see it working in reality. China has a long history of selling more vaporware than Elon Musk ever dreamed of in his wildest imagination.
