#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.

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.

🔋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.

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.

Tesla

Tesla officially announced its next <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-gigafactories">gigafactory</a> during its &#8216;Investor Day&#8217; in March 2023. The sixth gigafactory called Gigafactory Mexico, which is located near Monterrey, Nuevo León, is going to be the largest factory Tesla ever built. But when will it be ready to produce Tesla&#8217;s cheapest electric vehicles? Let&#8217;s find out!
It will take 12-15 months to complete the Gigafactory Mexico, according to <a href="https://www.milenio.com/politica/samuel-garcia-estima-12-15-meses-construccion-tesla">Mexican authorities</a> and Tesla&#8217;s recent statements. Based on this information, it&#8217;s safe to say that Gigafactory Mexico will be completed before the end of 2024. Tesla initially intend to beat the Giga Shanghai&#8217;s 9-month record, but it will take more time to design and engineer Tesla&#8217;s next-gen vehicle platform before putting it into the production.
The third generation vehicle architecture Tesla has been cooking up for a while will be a game-changer. Tesla will not only produce cheaper, more efficient EVs, but also produce them fast! Gigafactory Mexico will eventually be the largest car factory in the world, in terms of production output, thanks to the next-gen platform&#8217;s factory footprint reduction.
<h2>Which Tesla Cars Will Be Built in Gigafactory Mexico?</h2>
Elon Musk clearly states that Tesla&#8217;s Mexico factory will be solely responsible for the production of affordable Tesla Model 2/Q. This vehicle can be desribed as a smaller Model Y. There might be another Gigafactory in the near future for producing Tesla&#8217;s next-gen vehicles. But Tesla won&#8217;t use its already-tight production capacity in Fremont, Giga Texas, or Giga Berlin to manufacture cheaper models.
If Elon&#8217;s statements are any sign, Gigafactory Mexico is on track to be the Tesla&#8217;s largest export hub as well. Texas-based automaker plans to sell millions of Model 2/Q every year.

12 Largest EV Battery Manufacturers in the World

Last night, Elon Musk took the stage at Tesla&#8217;s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. He officially announced that <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/cars?filter=tesla" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tesla</a> has now produced more than 3 million electric vehicles. It was an impressive milestone for a company that struggled to reincarnate the EV industry in its early days. Elon indicated on many occasions that Tesla, for various reasons, had almost bankrupt multiple times throughout its journey.

In recent years, Tesla has made tremendous improvements in the mass production of pure electric vehicles. The Texas-based company built almost half of its total production in the last one and a half year. <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-gigafactories" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Giga Shanghai</a> is the clear champion here, as the Chinese factory doubled Tesla&#8217;s production pace in less than a year. According to the latest information disclosed by the EV-maker, the Shanghai factory&#8217;s annual production capacity is around 750K. Its daily production rate will be ramped up to 2,600 vehicles before the year ends, bringing annual capacity to almost 1 million EVs.
<h2>Tesla will build 10-12 Gigafactories in total</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-17310 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/tesla-gigafactory-texas-1024x511.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="374" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/tesla-gigafactory-texas-1024x511.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/tesla-gigafactory-texas-300x150.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/tesla-gigafactory-texas-768x383.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/tesla-gigafactory-texas-1536x767.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/tesla-gigafactory-texas-2048x1022.jpg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/tesla-gigafactory-texas-1568x782.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Tesla still has a long way forward to be the production giant Elon wants it to become. There are four EV manufacturing plants that Tesla operates today; Fremont, Giga Shanghai, Giga Berlin, and Giga Texas. The automaker will build 6 to 8 more gigafactories in the future. Each factory will be designed to handle at least 1 to 2 million EV production annually. There is no certain timetable for the future factories but Elon heavily hinted that Tesla is looking for a third EV factory location in the North America region, including Canada, Mexico, and United States.
From what we understand, Tesla is certainly planning on increasing its annual output to almost 20 million vehicles in the next decade. This figure will make Tesla become the world&#8217;s biggest automaker. The company will not only produce passenger cars but also electric trucks, pick-ups, and MPVs as well.
