The greatest advantage of a battery-powered car with a solid-state battery is its extended range. Why? Because with a range of 1000 miles, you won't need to travel such distances without breaks, allowing the car to slow charge while you rest at a hotel overnight (if the trip is exceptionally long). This is gentler on the battery compared to a 200-mile range where fast charging is necessary to reach your further destinations. Furthermore, reducing the need to recharge every 150-200 miles also extends the overall life of the battery.

@kenoliver8913 24 дня назад

Nope. The big advantage of batteries that allow you to make a car with 1000 mile range is that those batteries allow you to make a very light (lighter than ICE) and cheap car with 500 miles range, because they'll have half the batteries of current EVs. Very few people take regular cross country trips; the overwhelming bulk of mileage is done in much shorter trips, which is why most EVs are already mostly slow charged overnight at home.

@vorpalinferno9711 14 дней назад

Dude, you are not getting 1000 miles of range. Be realistic. 400 miles is the practical range if you do the math regarding Quantumscape's testing results.

Yes, Solid State Batteries might be a huge thing for EVs once they're ready. The news here is that VW is investing in development and hopefully production of SS Batteries, as is everyone else. Nothing is ready yet. It might be several years until this technology is ready, and then everyone will offer it in their cars. But, we got another wonder battery video, so I won't complain 😊

In Texas, despite a cooling of a few degrees in the Houston area, the power outages caused by Hurricane Beryl continue to make things miserable and even dangerous. More than 500,000 customers remained without power on Saturday afternoon. Three deaths in the aftermath of Beryl have been attributed to Climate Change-worsened heat, according to officials in Harris County, which includes Houston. Temperatures will be 100 degrees in Arlington, Texas, on Tuesday, when Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game is played there, even around the first pitch, which is scheduled for 8 p.m. New York City’s temperature is expected to peak in the upper 90s on Tuesday, with the heat index reaching 98 to 101 Monday through Wednesday. Forecasters at the local Weather Service office in New York say that some spots around the city could approach a heat index of 106 degrees. Mr. Bann, the Weather Service forecaster, said that many cities in the region could set daily high temperature records due to Climate Change-caused "heat waves".

@Cruise1966 26 дней назад

This is 100% false

@CombatSport777 25 дней назад

This is false, the Shenxing plus LFP battery is an amazing battery that promises fast harming and very little degradation over 1 million km, but the energy density that could be achieved in solid state batteries would greatly surpass them.

I don't trust Chinese data. Until multiple credible foreign parties can test it, you will never be sure of their product information

The technical milestones that QuantumScape will need to demonstrate likely involve a reliable mass production process for the solid state separators, and production spec battery samples meeting quality and reliability targets by a certain date. Nothing too extreme or out of the ordinary for deal made between tech companies.

@Hybridog 26 дней назад

I think the next frontier for EV manufacturing might just be in battery pack and module assembly. You watch these assembly images and it looks like some sort of insanely overbuilt lab experiment, not a streamlined, well engineered, finessed component intended for mass production. There has got to be a better way to seal up the cells in a easy to assemble fixture that meets all the safety and structural requirements. I think the industry has been very focussed on battery chem and form factor so far and they need to start applying more resources to module and pack design.

@miketripple5 22 дня назад

Yes, Quantomscape has jumped the gun before. I invested in them early because of the VW partnership, but I pulled out when VW ditched them and went with another company for their battery needs. I'm skeptical of any claims now

@alexco5881 26 дней назад

Developing revolutionary new tech is hard. Scientists and Engineers are pushing boundaries and learning as they go. Their managers and investors want a plan with a defined timeline, which is created from guesswork and the need to meet financial targets. Any such timeline is far from guaranteed. Project plans often suffer overruns and sometimes a project just fails to deliver. Both Quantumscape and Solid Power have ambitious goals and serious legacy auto industry investors. Companies like Ford, BMW and VW group are decades behind Tesla in EVs and a smart plan to catch up + maybe overtake Tesla needs big hairy goals way in front of where Tesla is today. Battery tech is changing fast and will continue to make major advances for the next few decades. I am optimistic about both Solid Power and Quantumscape tech - they are in a technology arms race with CATL and other battery manufacturers worldwide. I make no predictions on timescale - delays do happen.

@glennmartin6492 27 дней назад

I average less than 10 Km a day. A third or quarter of the average EV range today would be more than sufficient, pretty much fully rechargeable on a 110 volt outlet, a third or quarter of the cost of present battery packs ($15,000 to $20,000) and leave space for more batteries to be installed later if that were practical or desired. When I want to take a longer trip it usually only totals up to about two weeks in total; less than 4% of the year. I'd rent a longer ranged car.

@davidbrayshaw3529 27 дней назад

@@glennmartin6492 10 km per day equals CO2 emissions of about 2.5 kg, on average. The embodied CO2 of a Tesla model 3 battery is claimed to be 12 tonnes, if you believe that, and that's just the battery, not the car. So your break even point is about 4,800 days or 13 years... battery only.

VW has obviously done a cost analysis and the numbers crunch if they have PowerCo getting behind this deal. VW has stated that they will have different batteries in different market level cars, expect the QS battery to go into their premium lines first and as the production costs ease to be made more readily available. This allows QS to receive millions in royalty revenues and continue with production for other customers. VW is getting a sweetheart deal here being their primary investor.

The biggest problem with car batteries remains the fire temperature. A classic combustion engine car burns at around 600C. An electric car with Lithium batteries around 1'100C which destroys concrete, tunnels, structures. Lithium itself reacts with water. Once this problem is resolved, EVs will become mainstream. You see, most people don't want to drive a car that burns like a Russian tanks and that immediately incinerates everyone inside. Imagine a electric truck that burns inside the Gothard tunnel and destroys it. You are talking about damage in the billions. Current EVs with highly flammable batteries will destroy infrastructure.

And, what is the small print for those shangrila-batteries? Needing a special ingredient that they must extract from an apple that only grows in the gony dessert? 🤣

yea sure, keep an eye on it, but those factories take years to build and get commissioned and up to speed. There are a lot of things going on in this time period that are going to cause massive far reaching change, but timing is everything. The one company that seems to be ahead of the curve in most things is Tesla, how will the Tesla bot change the rate these factories come on line? How will it affect the employment of people? how much will the poor education of the population limit the speed these factories come on line? I speak not only of battery factories but all factories, chip, data center, car, battery etc. Nothing happens in isolation and the re-Industrialization of the west will greatly affect it all.

More dreams of a thousand-mile range, but really just lab experiments. We know virtually nothing about the operating conditions we need to ensure for solid-state batteries when they are used in an electric car. In my opinion, for at least the next five years, solid-state batteries will have no relevance at all in conventional electric cars.

Volkswagen wants to take QuantumScape technology which is now in labor studies and a nearby series State, they told. It will be interesting to watch the ramp up, knowing big problems from the competitors in battery scaling like Northvolt, who are trying to start mass production since several month and lots of garbage batterypacks

good news !!!!

@user-yl4st7wi5w 27 дней назад

car technology always starts at the luxury end and then percolates down to the cheaper end. So we need to see solid state batteries in the luxury end first. -)

Tesla co is an angel in terms of invester advice? fair enough. How about delving into Tesla's price cuts resulting in exhorbitant depreciation for ther customers. Let's not get too carried away here and let's not forget about VW Diesel gate. If anyone believes that any of these companies are looking after their customers they're delusional.

Tesla is telling fairly tales about full autonomous driving. So don't take Tesla as an example for doing it better.

QS batteries aren't that ultra energy dense. Its around 330 wh/kg. Its just that they fast charge in 5 minutes and dont lose their capacity after 1000 charge cycles.

@ISuperTed 27 дней назад

I guess the issue will be scale. No doubt all the major battery makers like CATL have the same tech in development and already have massive scale, so it will be interesting to see if this VW scheme gets off the ground given the competition they will undoubtedly have.

1500km range at average consumption 15kWh/100km needs 225kWh battery , Sam what are you talking about ? First Solid State battery will be about 400WH/kg at the same package it will offer battery capacity for Tesla Model 3 about 150kWh . People start educating yourself
