Well, it’s a Chinese lab claiming to have it. So, I guess I’ll just wait for the proof.
Yup. I’d wait regardless of source, but it’s extra sus coming from a Chinese lab since they like to… stretch the truth sometimes.
Current tech is 200 to 250 so a substantial reduction in battery weight, 50% or 60%
Huge leap forward if the process is in the same ballpark expense wise. Being able to reduce a cars battery by 50% would reduce the prices by at least 5k, and likely have longer range because of the reduced weight.
Edit : still very experimental. Battery only retains that energy density for 300 charges. This is an improvement from an earlier 50 cycles, but not really viable either.
Just for comparison: the energy density of gasoline and diesel is around 10,000 Wh/kg.
Never knew about this metric before.
I’m looking forward to the instant benefits for e-bikes!
Hope it becomes reality soon unlike graphene.
There needs to be a metric for how many gallons of water/kg the fire department will need to spray to extinguish the car.
