BYD gibt deshalb auf die Batterie seiner Elektroautos eine Werksgarantie von 8 Jahren oder 200.000 km. Bei vielen anderen Autoherstellern endet die Garantie schon nach 160.000 Kilomtern. Das Laden des BYD-Akkus geht dagegen flott vonstatten: Die Zellen sind in rund 20 Minuten zu 70 Prozent gefüllt.
Tesla, a major EV manufacturer, stated that almost all cars produced in the first quarter were using cobalt-free iron-phosphate batteries. SVOLT, another EV battery manufacturer, is making cobalt
Associate Professor Xin Li and his team have designed a stable, lithium-metal battery that can be charged and discharged at least 10,000 times. Eliza Grinnell/Harvard SEAS. "Our research shows that
Today, among all the state-of-the-art storage technologies, li-ion battery technology allows the highest level of energy density. Performances such as fast charge or temperature operating window (-50°C up to 125°C) can be fine-tuned by the large choice of cell design and chemistries. Furthermore, li-ion batteries display additional advantages
New water-based battery offers large-scale energy storage. Stanford scientists have developed a manganese-hydrogen battery that could fill a missing piece in the nation''s energy puzzle by
Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL) says its new battery is capable of powering a vehicle for more than a million miles (1.2 million, to be precise – or 1.9 million km) over a 16-year lifespan. This is why Tesla, which is today arguably considered the industry leader, is constantly reiterating and advancing on new battery technology.
