Zeekr

⚡ Chinese ZEEKR极氪 announced a major update to its first car, the 001, by replacing over 2,000 components.
🔋 The 2024 Zeekr 001, available with 95 and 100 kWh battery options, now features an 800V architecture. This not only boosts charging speeds up to 350 kW but also significantly enhances the vehicle’s efficiency.
🟢 Transitioning to the new-generation thermal management system called PTM 2.0 along with the battery, the 4.9-meter electric crossover can operate efficiently in both high and low temperatures.
💨 The new 001 offers a single-motor option producing 310 kW (422 HP) and a dual-motor option capable of generating 560 kW (762 HP). Hence, it’s expected to have a starting price around $40,000.
🚗 Equipped with LiDAR sensor-based autonomous driving mode, a new infotainment system powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chipset, and numerous interior design changes, the exact price of the 001 will be revealed upon its release on February 27th.

⚡#BYD has revamped its popular electric sedan Han, which sold 220,000 units last year. The 2024 version of the car has been launched in China with a starting price of $25,000.
🟢The 5-meter sedan features a base model with a 150 kW motor, a 60.48 kWh LFP battery, and 110 kW DC charging support. All models come equipped with the new Level 2+ intelligent driving system, DiPilot 100, which has been in development for over 1,000 days. Additionally, the new generation intelligent suspension system, DiSus-C, has been integrated into the 2024 model to enhance Han&#8217;s comfort.

🔋The 2024 BYD Han boasts a range of 506 km (CLTC), which extends up to 715 kilometers in the version with an 85.44 kWh battery. During today&#8217;s event, it was emphasized for the first time that the car features a silicon carbide chip inverter and an 800V architecture. However, the charging speed of the largest battery being limited to 155 kW indicates that the entire high-voltage system is not yet ready for 800V.
🚗In the performance version of the car, a dual-motor powertrain capable of producing 517 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque is used, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 3.9 seconds.

#Audi has introduced its first car developed on the all-electric PPE platform, the Q6 e-tron.
The Q6 e-tron, which is priced 10% cheaper than its sibling model, the Porsche Macan EV, developed on the same platform, stands out with both more compact and lightweight electric motors and a large prismatic cell-based massive battery.

Audi, using NCM811 cathode cells produced by Chinese company Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) in Germany, states that the larger cell form facilitates battery production. Additionally, it emphasizes that the newly developed smart thermal management system enhances battery life by continuously conditioning the battery and reduces charging time.
Regarding the engine, the company claims a 50% increase in efficiency compared to the first-generation electric Audis and states that it can produce more power with smaller motors by increasing power density by 62%. It should be noted that the Q6 e-tron uses an asynchronous ASM motor at the front and a permanent magnet synchronous PSM motor at the rear, differentiating it from the electric #Macan.

HiPhi

🟢Announcing that it will convert diesel mining trucks to electric in 2021 together with #ABB, #Hitachi shared that the first vehicle has been produced.
⛏️The giant truck started to be used in a copper-gold mine in Zambia. It climbs with an electrical connection that feeds the battery, similar to a trolleybus, while going to pick up load. When turning downhill while loaded, it recharges its battery thanks to regenerative braking.
🔋In this way, ABB and Hitachi completed the transformation with a smaller one instead of a megawatt-hour battery. They made this possible thanks to the regenerative braking ability of the huge electric motors seen in the prototype photo.
🔌Mining truck&#8217;s previously had a giant internal combustion engine with 16 cylinders and 2,534 horsepower. It will relatively reduce the impact of mining on the environment by ending diesel consumption and zeroing out emissions after the conversion to electric.

Automotive batteries will be a key investment area, according to Panasonic Group CEO Yuki Kusumi, who made the announcement on May 18 during the Group Strategy Briefing. The Japanese producer recognizes the significant market need for EV batteries, particularly for cylindrical-type cells, and the high market development potential, particularly in North America.
The company is anticipated to construct a few more battery factories later this decade, at least two of which will be in North America.
<h2>Priority Investment Area: Automotive BatteriesPanaso</h2>
Panasonic stated that compared to the previous generation, which was introduced in 1994, the current generation of battery cells already has a volumetric energy density that is more than three times greater (about 800 watt-hours per liter). The target is to reach 1,000 Wh/L by 2030.
We understand that Panasonic&#8217;s cathode chemistry was the first among high-nickel NCA/NCM cathodes to achieve less than 5% cobalt concentration, and according to Panasonic, a &#8220;cobalt-free&#8221; cathode is within reach. It&#8217;s interesting to see that nickel content will also drop.
The fact that Panasonic provided batteries for around two million electric vehicles without ever having to issue a battery recall is one of the most significant facts.

<h2>The Research And Development Infrastructure Of Panasonic Grows In Japan</h2>
One battery facility for 2170-type cylindrical cells is now being operated by the business in North America at the Tesla Gigafactory 1 in Nevada, and a second is being built in Kansas. Although we also know that the new 4680-type batteries are slightly delayed, the objective is to increase EV battery manufacturing in North America.
Panasonic plans to boost the total amount of EV batteries it can produce annually from 50 gigawatt-hours (GWh) to 200 GWh by March 2031, of which about half will be brand-new cylindrical battery cells of the 4680 type.
Although a 300 percent rise in just eight years is remarkable, Panasonic is still far from being the world&#8217;s leading EV battery supplier by volume.

Nissan

<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>
<li>EV36Zero (EV hub concept) fully integrated manufacturing to spread globally: Europe (UK), Japan, China and in the U.S.</li>
