Tesla

When Tesla first announced back in 2019 that they would produce an all-electric pickup truck starting from $39,900, people rushed to the automaker&#8217;s website and put their names on the waiting list. But at the end of 2021, Tesla removed any info regarding Cybertruck&#8217;s price and specifications from the pre-order page. <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-cybertruck-orders-are-there" target="_blank" rel="noopener">All 1.7 million Cybertruck reservation holders</a> wonder: will Tesla honor its original Cybertruck price list?
After almost three and a half years, Tesla&#8217;s original price list for Cybertruck is not relevant today, because of inflation, material prices, chip shortage, etc. There&#8217;s a high chance that Tesla will not honor the Cybertruck prices. But this special all-electric pickup truck is designed in a way that it won&#8217;t be needing any paint or expensive aluminum parts. Instead, Tesla will use a paintless stainless steel exoskeleton body to reduce manufacturing costs. Lithium-ion batteries are also a lot cheaper than what they would cost in 2019. So, it&#8217;s definitely possible for Tesla to produce and sell Cybertrucks at the original price points.
<h2>Cheaper FSD for Cybertruck Reservation Holders!</h2>

Truth be told, Tesla is not obligated to honor the Cybertruck price list that was announced at the unveiling event and put online for two years. It&#8217;s, however, officially confirmed that FSD pricing is fixed for the Cybertruck reservation holders, which is half of what the FSD package costs today ($15,000). Even if Cybertruck gets a price bump, there&#8217;s a $7,500 cost advantage for the customers who chose FSD while ordering their pickup truck.

Will Tesla Honor Cybertruck Price? | FSD Price Advantage

It&#8217;s been more than three and a half years since Tesla unveiled Cybertruck. <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-cybertruck-orders-are-there" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1.7 million people pre-ordered</a> this radically designed all-electric pickup. But the launch day is nowhere near to being announced. There have been some rumors regarding Tesla canceling the Cybertruck project. Even a highly popular YouTuber made a video with the title of &#8216;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1B9mfn5NCcw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tesla Just Cancelled the Cybertruck</a>&#8216;. Is it true that Tesla canceled this highly anticipated project? Let&#8217;s do some fact-checking!
Tesla didn&#8217;t cancel or even consider canceling the Cybertruck. In fact, Elon Musk officially confirmed on multiple occasions that the electric pickup truck will go on sale in 2023. Although the Cybertruck is a very hard vehicle to put into mass production as its unique cold metal exoskeleton structure, Tesla is eager to start producing its first pickup truck. It&#8217;ll most likely be the most popular vehicle launched in 2023.

Tesla originally aimed to start Cybertruck production in 2021. The never-ending delays and Elon Musk&#8217;s &#8220;difficult to build&#8221; prompts regarding the Cybertruck convinced lots of people that the Cybertruck is really dead. Truth be told, it&#8217;s too hard to engineer and design a vehicle like that. But Tesla is publicly saying that design-wise, Cybertruck development is finalized. Tesla fans have been posting new Cybertruck prototype photos and videos almost every day since the beginning of this year. After a long wait, the Cybertruck is definitely coming out soon!

Chinese EV maker&#8217;s first vehicle concepts &#8216;AIRO&#8217; and LS7 are designed by English designer Thomas Heatherwick and showcased at Auto Shanghai in 2021. In 2022, IM Motors only sold around 5,000 EVs. It&#8217;s expected to sell more than 45,000 in 2023, thanks to the highly-popular electric SUV <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/im-ls7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IM Motors LS7</a>. A more affordable IM Motors LS5 is also on its way.
<h2>Who Owns IM Motors?</h2>
IM Motors is a joint venture between Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, the automaker SAIC Motor, and a Shanghai-based industrial and technology park called Zhangjiang High-Tech. SAIC Motor owns the majority (54%) of this joint venture. Alibaba and Zhangjiang High-Tech hold an 18 percent stake each. IM Motors&#8217;s main purpose is to design and manufacture fully electric high-end vehicles. The brand&#8217;s first cars are being produced at SAIC Motor&#8217;s Lingang plant in Shanghai, China, where SAIC made a handful of investments in 2021 to manufacture all-electric models.

BYD Dolphin’s European Price List Announced

One of China&#8217;s biggest automakers, Great Wall Motor, plans to set up an electric car facility there. The firm, which has made headway in discussions with the Presidential Investment Office, is reportedly considering opening a plant in Turkey for duty-free sales in the European market, according to the news of Aysel Yücel from the Economy Daily. The company does not have sales in Turkey yet.
Great Wall, which launched its formal sales in nations including England, Germany, and Sweden with the entirely EV-focused ORA brand, also makes batteries under the SVOLT brand thanks to its investment in Germany. The company said it will soon set up factories for the manufacture of battery cells at five locations in Europe, with Turkey possibly being one of them.

Great Wall Motor continues to make cars with internal combustion engines for the SUV brand HAVAL, which set sales records in China. However, the company has not yet advanced to the level of BYD and Geely in the conversion to electric vehicles. However, the company wants to produce more plug-in hybrid cars and stop making cars with gasoline and diesel engines by 2030. The goal in Europe is to set up five cell factories, a facility for electric vehicles with a 5–20 GWh capacity, and to extend manufacturing across the continent.

Chinese Coming to Electric Vehicle Investment in Turkey: Great Wall Motor

Toyota

Hiroki Nakajima, the Chief Technology Officer of Toyota, has acknowledged the failure of the hydrogen fuel cell car and announced that the production of these vehicles will be abandoned for the time being.
Speaking to Autocar at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2023, the Toyota CTO attributed the failure to establish a network of hydrogen refueling stations to its challenging nature. Therefore, they will focus on hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles instead of passenger cars.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-39998 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/1x-1-1536x1024-1-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="500" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/1x-1-1536x1024-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/1x-1-1536x1024-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/1x-1-1536x1024-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/1x-1-1536x1024-1.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Stating that they will increase the efficiency by 20% and reduce the cost by half with the new generation hydrogen fuel cell they are currently developing, the experienced manager also left the door open for the passenger car version of the cell to be used in electric trucks and heavy vehicles.
Hiroki Nakajima also touched on solid-state battery studies. He stated that the battery, which will be launched in 2027-2028, can only be used in performance-oriented electric vehicles in the first place due to its high cost.

Toyota Abandons Hydrogen Car

An electric vehicle with a range of 1,448 kilometers will come from Toyota. Faced with heavy criticism from both shareholders and environmentalists for being late in the electric vehicle transformation, Toyota announced that it will launch five new batteries by 2030, increasing its annual sales of electric vehicles to 3.5 million.
The first of the batteries that will carry the Japanese giant to this goal will come in 2026. This battery will offer a range of 615 kilometers. It is 20% cheaper than the battery of the bZ4X and will be charged from 10% to 80% in 20 minutes.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-37130 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/toyota-ev-1448-1024x632.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="463" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/toyota-ev-1448-1024x632.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/toyota-ev-1448-300x185.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/toyota-ev-1448-768x474.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/toyota-ev-1448-1536x948.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/toyota-ev-1448-2048x1265.jpg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/toyota-ev-1448-1568x968.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
The second generation is aimed to reduce the cost by 40% and increase the range by 20% with the bipolar LFP battery. In a bipolar battery with a higher power density, only one current collector is used for the anode and cathode. Thus, the production speed can increase while the production cost decreases. This system is currently used in nickel-metal hydride batteries in hybrid vehicles.
Toyota will launch its third-generation nickel-cathode bipolar battery that will increase the range to 1,000 kilometers in 2027-2028. The company says it will be 10% cheaper than the first-generation solution.
Solid-state batteries are expected to meet with customers in the fourth and fifth generations. In this way, it is planned that the cost of vehicle batteries will decrease to reasonable levels, while the range will gradually increase to 1,448 kilometers.

1,448 KM Range Electric Vehicle To Come From Toyota

Skoda

A press conference was conducted by Skoda today to unveil plans for a real EV invasion, with no less than six models arriving by 2026 to address diverse market niches. Leading the charge will be the Elroq, a &#8220;Compact&#8221; model that will be on sale in 2024. It is being created as the Karoq&#8217;s electric replacement and will be around 4.5 meters/177.1 inches long.
The year 2025 will be particularly busy for the Czech automaker since it plans to release the second-generation Enyaq &amp; Enyaq Coupe as well as an entry-level EV that SEAT will produce in Spain. The subcompact variant, which is now just known as the &#8220;Small,&#8221; will be around 4.1 meters/161.4 inches in length, have load space similar to the Scala, and have a starting price of about $26,700/€25,000.
The &#8220;Combi&#8221; expected in 2026 will likely be the most intriguing of the six. According to Skoda, the wagon will be roughly 4.7 meters/185 inches long and resemble Octavia. The &#8220;Space&#8221; will enter the lineup in the same year as a seven-seater SUV that is 4.9 meters/193 inches long and has &#8220;enormous interior space.&#8221; The 2022 Vision 7S concept has previously given a sneak peek of the three-row family car.
<h2>Skoda Hopes That Sales Of Evs Will Make Up 70% Of All Yearly Deliveries</h2>
By 2027, the Volkswagen Group will invest $6.1 billion/€5.6 billion in these six cars, which are planned to sport the company&#8217;s new &#8220;Modern Solid&#8221; design language. By the end of the decade, Skoda hopes that sales of EVs will make up 70% of all yearly deliveries. Meanwhile, &#8220;car sculptures&#8221; that showcase the expanded electric portfolio are giving us a rough indication of the new aesthetic approach across numerous categories.
Skoda states that the Kodiaq and the Superb liftback and wagon from the next generation will both go on sale this fall and have plug-in hybrid powertrains. The brand&#8217;s &#8220;most cutting-edge gasoline and diesel engines&#8221; will be used to power the ICE variants.

Along with the all-electric Juke, the e-Power version will also be on sale. In 2030, the company predicts that completely electric vehicles will account for half of its global sales. Nissan will remove gasoline and diesel engine models from production in a few years.
<h2>Three Electric SUVs Incoming</h2>
After the electric Juke, the fully electric Nissan Qashqai and X-Trail will be launched in 2026 and 2027.  The CEO of Nissan Europe stated that the company took the first step toward electrification with e-Power. All three SUVs would be available to consumers with electric models in a few years.
Nissan Ariya, which left the X-Trail behind in European sales last year, can offer a range of about 500 kilometers with a 90 kWh battery. It is most likely that the electric Qashqai and others would have a longer range.
Based on the timeline announced by the Nissan executive, it seems unlikely that these models will catch up with the solid-state batteries developed by the Japanese company. Nissan, which is developing its own solid electrolyte lithium-ion cells, planned to use these battery cells for the first time in 2028, which will provide much higher energy density and high-speed charging capability of 400 kW.

Electric Nissan Qashqai, Juke and X-Trail Officially Confirmed

Solid Power’s plan to produce solid-state lithium-ion batteries goes back to 2017. It was reported that BMW and Solid Power set up a partnership to develop batteries without semi-liquid electrolytes. Since then, Ford has joined up as a significant investor in Solid Power.
Solid Power has been founded in 2012 and they are producing solid-state batteries with a sulfur-based electrolyte and an anode with higher silicon (more than %50) in it.

The Colorado-based company has finished a manufacturing line for its solid-state batteries that will allow producing 15.000 battery cells a year. That number might seem too few, however, Solid Power will deliver them to BMW and Ford for testing in their battery electric vehicles. After the tests are done, the company will increase the production volume.
<h2>Solid Power is ahead of its rivals</h2>
Solid Power has advantages against its rivals with its technology. The company’s batteries have higher density, more range, and shorter charging time compared to conventional ones. Furthermore, they are more convenient than other solid-state batteries because these batteries can be produced in any battery plant without any further upgrades.

Solid Power CEO Doug Campell tells that “The installation of this EV cell pilot line will allow us to produce EV-scale cells suitable for initiating the formal automotive qualification process. Over the coming quarters, we will work to bring the EV cell pilot line up to its full operational capability and look forward to delivering EV-scale all-solid-state cells to our partners later this year.”
By the end of this year, the Colorado-based battery manufacturer plans to deliver to its partners, BMW and Ford, for testing in their prototypes. This will be a major step in the validation process for the solid-state batteries to be sold to other car manufacturers on a larger scale.
The company expects to bring other automakers to join Solid Power’s battery design in the first six months of 2024, which means that we can see the first vehicles with solid-state batteries in two years.

Solid Power to Start Production of Solid-State Batteries

<a href="https://www.licarco.com/cars?filter=nissan">Nissan</a> debuted its macro prototype production facility for laminated all-solid-state battery (ASSB) cells. The plant is situated in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, as part of the Nissan Research Center.
In November 2021, the Japanese company confirmed the in-house progress of solid-state batteries, with plans to set up trial manufacturing at its Yokohama Plant in fiscal 2024 and release the very first EV enabled by the new batteries in fiscal 2028.
The newly designed production process is a crucial stage toward commercial exploitation of those upcoming batteries, which Nissan expects to focus on providing a power density roughly twice that of classic <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-long-electric-car-battery-last-battery-replacement-cost">lithium-ion batteries</a>, considerably shorter charging time due to outstanding charge/discharge results, and reduced cost due to the ability to use less expensive materials.

Nissan has been developing lithium-ion batteries for a long time (over 20 years), and we fully comprehend that the company plans to continue its in-house technique with solid-state batteries as well. As we&#8217;ve seen, the external form factor is similar to the company&#8217;s current conventional cells &#8211; laminated cells.
In presenting the prototype production facility, Nissan reiterated its very ambitious battery cell cost targets of $75 per kWh in fiscal 2028 and $65 per kWh thereafter (on the pack level). According to Nissan, electric car costs should indeed be lowered to the very same level as internal combustion engine vehicles.
<h2>Nissan battery technology goals in a nutshell</h2>
<ul>
<li>Nissan intends to introduce cobalt-free lithium-ion batteries to bring down the cost by 65% by fiscal year 2028 (by the end of March 2029)</li>
<li>Nissan intends to launch electric vehicle with &#8220;its proprietary all-solid-state batteries (ASSB)&#8221; by fiscal year 2028 (by the end of March 2029). A pilot plant in Yokohama should be ready as early as fiscal year 2024</li>
<li>All-solid-state batteries (ASSB) target cost: 
$75 per kWh on the pack level by fiscal year 2028 
potential to achieve $65/kWh on the pack level</li>
<li>Global battery supply targets: 
52 GWh by by fiscal year 2026 (by the end of March 2027) 
130 GWh by fiscal year 2030 (by the end of March 2031)</li>

Nissan Debuts Manufacturing Plant Prototype For Solid-State Batteries

In a global market with demand surpassing 3,000GWh by 2030, lithium iron phosphate (LFP) will overtake nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) as the dominating battery chemistry by 2028. That&#8217;s according to a recent report from Wood Mackenzie Power &amp; Renewables on the lithium-ion battery manufacturing business. China&#8217;s CATL and South Korea&#8217;s LG are the highest-ranked manufacturers expected to increase its most manufacturing capability this decade. By 2030, CATL plans to have 800GWh of yearly production capacity online.
The raw materials required to make them are plentiful, low-cost, and available in practically every country. As a consequence, they are usually less expensive. Nickel prices have reached insane new highs today, exposing the pricing difference between LFP and conventional batteries even further. Increased nickel prices have already prompted automakers to boost the prices of many of the current electric vehicles on the market.

Gotion High-Tech expects to be able to begin large-scale production of an LFP battery with an energy output of 230 Wh/kg by the end of the year. Comparable battery packs with an energy density of 210 Wh/kg are already in production. In comparison, the energy density of today&#8217;s cobalt and nickel-based cells is around 250 to 270 Wh/kg. &#8220;At a certain point, ternary lithium batteries will be replaced on a wider scale in Gotion,&#8221; Gotion CEO Li Zhen said this week at the China EV100 Forum 2022. Notwithstanding to this, Gotion continues to spend money on new ternary battery tech use much less nickel and cobalt. In the coming years, it anticipates ramping up production of a semi-solid-state battery with a battery capacity of 360 Wh/kg. Volkswagen is collaborating with Gotion and stands to gain from its battery research and development initiatives.
