Is it a solid-state or a lithium-ion battery? Oh, they use sodium-ion. No, I think it's NMC, or are they using LFP? 😂🔋 Battery classifications and headlines can sometimes be confusing. Here's your help 😊. For battery beginners! And yes, since I get so many requests, our Jeep conversion videos are coming up soon. 🙌
@@ElectrifiedVeronika I get the most views on LinkedIn anytime I mention EV conversions. People show a big interest in this and are really interested in finding suppliers for components to do an EV Conversions. My friend Jon Lake has been working for many years trying to source reliable and reasonably priced EV conversion components and there are very few out there.
very good explained - thx! also enjoyed your interviews with Dr.Know-it-all and found your Tesla M3 review amusing… 🤣. I am driving a little VW e-Up! since 2014 as well as a M3 since 2019 and know the world of buttons and the world without them. Liebe Grüße an die “Elektrische Vroni” aus Salzburg! 😏
@@elstner Thank you! Great to have audience from Austria here! 🤩 Oh yeah, the missing buttons and me trying to find the key in the glove box where I needed a pin to only find out after that I did not need a key at all 😂😂 Elektrische Vroni klingt auch sehr cool!
Haha - its part of my job to find names…, but you may use „Elektrische Vroni“ for your hopefully upcoming Austrian YT-channel! 😁. To be serious again: We need educated people like you, who are able to explain these important technical developments for our future in simple words, that everybody understands. I am holding a lecture for IT-engineer master students at the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, where they should learn exactly this. We call it “target group orientated communication”. And we need a lot more. Too many “hot air” producers without profound knowledge - too few real experts with the ability to explain their research and developments to the average Joe… so please keep on your good work, even if you encounter heavy headwinds from time to time!
@@elstner Thank you! I am very happy to hear that. I can't promise an Austrian YT channel, maintaining this one besides my actual consulting business is already more effort than I ever expected :-) I will do my best to publish more content despite the headwinds :-)
Covered the basics in a simple clear manner. I think there should be a critique of cylindrical. Vs prismatic vs pouch, as EV consumers need to understand what they are getting. It was proposed that pouch cells would be higher risk. That has proven to be the case in practice. GM and Hyundai have had to recall everyone they put out there. Yet some companies continue to uses them, as they are the cheapest. Please give us guidance on this topic.
Good input. I will do a video about advantages and disadvantages of different battery shapes, could be a good next battery basics video. There is sooo much to consider on cell level but then also on integrating the cells into packs. There are major differences in safety as well. I am a big fan of cylindrical cells! More details soon. Thanks for the comment.
Cells themselves are typically not the reason for recall, the battery pack design flaws are. Typically when there’s a recall the company doesn’t publicly share the true reason for the recall. Veronika did a great job reviewing each type. I’d add that different formats have different energy density and thermal management requirements. That’s much more involved to discuss haha
@@AcrosstheNanoversethe only major battery recall I can think of was from LG that caused fires in Chevy bolt, Hyundai Kona , Ford F-150 and a couple of grid battery installations. That was because of the cells not the packs
