tesla motor & how long do tesla batteries last
the tesla motors has been in the headlines for many
reasons recently from parabolic stock prices to a
ceo who has extracted rage from mobs on twitter
but in this episode we’ll take a quick look at some
of the recent announcements on future plans for
the company if tesla can actually achieve what
they’re talking about it’s going to take them from a
specialized motor company to mainstream all
the while helping battery technology along the
way let’s take a look you are watching cold fusion tv
elon musk battery
in a tesla event dubbed battery day elon musk
and senior vice president and engineer drew
baglino described in detail a plan for a new
generation of electric vehicle batterie and it’s
not a plan that rests on a single innovation
some research project that’ll never see the light
of day it’s a plan that has taken creative engineering
and industrialization across every facet of what
makes a cell into a battery pack from raw material
to the finished thing they’ll be more powerful longer
lasting and produced in-house musk stated that all
this will reduce costs and bring the sale price of
tesla electric cars closer in line to gasoline-powered
cars tesla’s new larger cylindrical cells dubbed
4860 will provide five times more energy six times
more power and a 14 reduction in price per kilowatt
hour we are starting to ramp up manufacturing
of these cells at our pilot 10 gigawatt hour production
facility just around the corner yeah although prototypes
tesla gigafactory
are working full production is about three years away
according to the presentation in 2018 panasonic
battery shortages caused some delays in production
at this moment tesla realized that they can’t rely on
external partners forever they’re going to keep
existing partners around for a while longer but
eventually they’re gonna have to do things on
their own elon said that tesla will build a new plant
in north america reducing supply chain costs and
simplifying cathode production tesla wants to do
everything in-house to streamline the process from
raw materials and all the way to the final product
production of battery elements is estimated to
use 10 times less energy thanks to some
manufacturing techniques acquired from
maxwell technologies it’s also making
improvements to the process that would make
cathodes 76 cheaper and will also produce zero
wastewater combined efforts in streamlining
the production line could see a plant with
an output of one terawatt hour of energy in a
smaller footprint than what a plant that only
outputs 150 gigawatt hours would have more
localized production is estimated to reduce
the number of miles traveled from transporting
materials by 80 further saving costs and emissions
and just doing that just localizing our cathode
supply chain and production we can reduce
miles traveled by all the materials that end up
newer batteries are expected to be in the cyber
in the cathode by 80 which is huge for cost yeah
i mean to be clear cathode production would be
part of our tesla cell production plant so
then we should obviously on-site lithium conversion
as well which is what we will do using a new
process that we’re going to pioneer that’s a sulfate
free process again skip the intermediate with all
of these efforts combined tesla expects a 54
increase in range while reducing the cost per
kilowatt hour by 56 range increase we’re unlocking
up to 54 increase in range for our vehicles and
energy density for our energy products 56 reduction
in dollars per kilowatt hour at the battery pack level
the newer batteries are expected to be in the cyber
truck roadster 2.0 and semi-truck vertical integration
