Tesla May Soon Have a Battery That Can Last a Million Miles


Elon Musk promised Tesla would soon have a million-mile battery, more than double what drivers can expect today. A new paper suggests he wasn't exaggerating.

Last April, Elon Musk promised (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ucp0TTmvqOE) that Tesla would soon be able to power its electric cars for more than 1 million miles over the course of their lifespan. At the time, the claim seemed a bit much. That’s more than double the mileage Tesla owners can expect to get out of their car’s current battery packs, which are already well beyond the operational range of most other EV batteries. It just didn’t seem real—except now it appears that it is.
Earlier this month, a group of battery researchers at Dalhousie University, which has an exclusive agreement with Tesla, published a paper (http://jes.ecsdl.org/content/166/13/A3031) in The Journal of the Electrochemical Society describing a lithium-ion battery that “should be able to power an electric vehicle for over 1 million miles” while losing less than 10 percent of its energy capacity during its lifetime.
Led by physicist Jeff Dahn, one of the world’s foremost lithium-ion researchers, the Dalhousie group showed that its battery significantly outperforms any similar lithium-ion battery previously reported. They noted their battery could be especially useful for self-driving robotaxis (https://www.wired.com/story/promises-broken-musk-offers-new-pledges-self-driving/) and long-haul electric trucks (https://www.wired.com/2017/04/tesla-electric-truck/), two products Tesla is developing.




What’s interesting, though, is that the authors don’t herald the results as a breakthrough. Rather, they present it as a benchmark for other battery researchers. And they don’t skimp on the specifics.
“Full details of these cells including electrode compositions, electrode loadings, electrolyte compositions, additives used, etc. have been provided,” Dahn and his colleagues wrote in the paper. “This has been done so that others can recreate these cells and use them as benchmarks for their own R+D efforts.”

We shall see...might just be Elon talkin' out his azz after smokin' a fattie.lol

I'm just wondering, what will the middle east world do, to sustain their economy
once their wells are down to 10% due to the change, battery for fuel

There will be major changes in the balance of economies for all those oil producing
and exporting countries. With the exception of the US and Russia some of the other
countries rely solely on oil as their major source to their economies.

Venezuela is one such country and they still managed to go bankrupt.

The Saudis' will be OK for a while,, But ! They WILL have to sell off their Gold Plated
Porches and their Diamond Studded Mercedes

Surely you don't do that crap Steve???
