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.

⚡ Home truth words from #Mercedes about the solid-state battery technology supported by Toyota
🗣️ Speaking to Autocar, Mercedes CTO Markus Schäfer explained that the solid-state battery will not be as big a revolution as expected. Its advantage in energy density and cost has decreased.
🟢Solid state battery; It is touted as a &#8216;savior technology&#8217; by some automobile manufacturers as it does not explode. It can be charged in 15 minutes and increases the energy density by 2-3 times.
⚠️ Companies such as Toyota and Nissan announced that they would not be able to produce a full solid-state battery before 2028 and that efforts were continuing to produce it suitable for mass production and at a reasonable cost. However, on the other hand, current lithium-ion battery technology continues to improve. In this way, charging times have already increased to 15 minutes and energy density to 300 Wh/kg.
🔋Believing that there is no need for solid-state lithium-metal batteries, Mercedes is currently working with Sila Nanotechnologies to increase energy density and charging speed by using a new generation anode made of nano-composite silicon instead of graphite anode in lithium-ion batteries.
✅With the use of more silicon in batteries, it is aimed to increase the energy density by 20-40% and the volumetric energy density to increase up to 800 Wh/liter. Nano-composite silicon, nano-wire silicon, and other material options can only find a place in high-end projects due to their high costs. However, it is estimated that silicon anode batteries will become widespread rapidly as production increases in 2024 and beyond.

December 27: LG Chem&#8217;s battery cathode facility held its groundbreaking ceremony last week. The corporation has modified some of its initial goals.
Originally, the facility was scheduled to begin construction in Q1 2023 and begin mass production in the latter part of 2025. Thus, the production debut date has been rescheduled to &#8220;starting from 2026,&#8221; over a year after the groundbreaking.
Originally, LG Chem stated that by 2027, it would be producing 120,000 tons of cathode material yearly, which would be sufficient to power the batteries of 1.2 million electric vehicles with a 498 km/310-mile range between charges.
However, as of right now, the factory can only produce half of the initial 600,000 high-performance pure electric car cathode materials that were planned for each year.
Nonetheless, the company claims that in response to rising demand, it would &#8220;expand production capacity.&#8221;
Throughout October, Toyota and LG Chem agreed to a $2.5 billion contract for the supply of cathode materials throughout North America.
November 22, 2022: To construct a $3 billion cathode plant for electric cars, LG Chem and the state of Tennessee inked a memorandum of agreement.
Situated near Clarksville, the new factory will be the biggest of its kind in the United States. By 2027, it is anticipated to generate 120,000 tons of cathode material yearly from its 420 acres of land. That is sufficient to run the batteries in 1.2 million electric vehicles for 498 km/310 miles between charges.
Tennessee was selected, according to LG Chem, due to its accessibility to important clients, the simplicity of transferring raw materials, and the support of regional and local authorities.
It also credits the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) passed by the Biden administration with spurring the construction of the new factory, which will generate 850 employment.
Global clients like Tesla and General Motors will be supplied by material and recycling partners working together at Tennessee, according to LG Chem.

What Is Happening In The Solid State Battery That Will Change The Electric Vehicle Industry?

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.

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

According to Lawrence Stroll, Aston Martin&#8217;s first battery-electric vehicle (BEV) in serial production is &#8220;on schedule&#8221; to debut in 2026. The British automaker will outline its five-year goals on June 27.
At its capital markets day on June 27, the British automaker will provide information on all the new vehicles it wants to introduce over the next five years, including plug-in hybrids. However, based on Stroll&#8217;s comments, it appears that Aston Martin won&#8217;t bet much on EVs and will instead concentrate on plug-in hybrids.
But according to chief creative officer Mark Reichman, the impending battery-powered Aston would be &#8220;a new product&#8221; on &#8220;a new platform,&#8221; rather than &#8220;putting batteries in an old platform.&#8221;
The platform&#8217;s specifics have not yet been made public, but technical head Roberto Fedeli has assured that it will not result from any collaboration with the Chinese automaker Geely, which recently increased its shareholding in Aston Martin.
<h2>Fedeli: Our thought is that electric is not a powertrain but a new vehicle dynamic. For this reason, we have in mind our own road map.</h2>
According to Lawrence Stroll, the brand&#8217;s planned plug-in hybrids will &#8220;last well into the 2030s,&#8221; with the Valhalla, Aston&#8217;s first PHEV, scheduled to be on sale by the end of next year.  The Cygnet was an upscale city automobile designed by Aston Martin using a Toyota iQ as a base. Its sole objective was to reduce the average carbon dioxide emissions over the whole lineup.
Now that Aston Martin and Mercedes-Benz have a collaboration for their road-going automobile business, we could see something similar, potentially in the shape of a rebadged, lightly reengineered EV from Mercedes.
What is known is that Stroll intends to use the new car portfolio to construct at least 10,000 automobiles annually, each made to order after an 18–24 month waitlist.

Aston Martin’s First EV To Arrive in 2026

Toyota received criticism for its advertisements a few years ago that referred to their electrically assisted vehicles as self-charging hybrids. The news is that a German bus will soon be refueling on a wireless ev charging highway in the city of Balingen. It is the newest step in turning that fantasy into a reality.
Even while the project is limited to a single bus, it is not difficult to see how the technology can eventually be used in vehicles and other places all over the world.
Governor of Michigan stated in December of last year that the state will investigate wireless in-road refueling on its roadways. If automobiles can charge while driving, their batteries may be smaller. It makes them lighter, more efficient, and much less expensive.
<h2>How It Works</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-31322 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Ekran-Resmi-2023-01-02-00.00.41-1024x575.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="421" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Ekran-Resmi-2023-01-02-00.00.41-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Ekran-Resmi-2023-01-02-00.00.41-300x168.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Ekran-Resmi-2023-01-02-00.00.41-768x431.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Ekran-Resmi-2023-01-02-00.00.41-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Ekran-Resmi-2023-01-02-00.00.41-2048x1150.jpg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Ekran-Resmi-2023-01-02-00.00.41-1568x881.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Similar to how inductive charging on cell phones functions, so does automotive technology. Magnetic coils in the ground transmit electricity to a coil on the automobile through the air. Car static charge stations have been available for a while. The fact remains that charging highways are more complex and are still in the planning stages.
<h2>Wireless EV Charging System</h2>
For the Balingen project, Israeli firm Electreon and German firm EnBW have collaborated to install 0.6 mile/1 km of Electric Road System (ERS) along a section of German highway, as well as two static charging stations at spots where the bus usually stops along its route. The Electreon will build charging infrastructure, which will get up to $3.2 million in funding.

At EnBW&#8217;s training facility in Karlsruhe, Germany, Electreon, and EnBW conducted a successful pilot study in the past. More recently, Eurovia and Electreon presented a proposal to electrify a section of the German highway in Bavaria.
While Stellantis tested a site modeled after a motorway in Italy to explore inductive charging, Sweden has its own wireless charging road project. Perhaps in ten years, the Mazda MX-30 with its meager 100 mile/160km range will be a design that was ahead of its time.

It&#8217;s intended for everyday use (off-peak electricity, residential PV system support, and EV charging) and an urgent power supply (all along power shortages originating from natural disasters).
The battery has a storage capacity of 8.7 kWh and can provide up to 5.5 kWh of power. The press is still silent. The issue is whether many units can be combined into a single system for increased capacity and power.

Toyota Introduces A Household Energy Storage System

Electrification is the best thing that ever happened to cars. The new era allows automakers to build more reliable, efficient vehicles, thanks to ditching so many components, such as huge gearboxes with dozens of moving parts. There are only a few moving parts left in a modern electric car. But there is also a very big battery pack, which is prone to degradation over time which could result in an EV losing its ability to hold energy.
Since the battery pack is the most expensive part of an electric vehicle, battery lifetime is a very important parameter for customers who are looking to buy an EV. In this article, we would like to answer some frequently asked questions regarding EV batteries, electric car battery lifetime, battery replacement costs, and repairability.
<h2>How Long Does An Electric Car Battery Last?</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-7091" src="https://apidb.voll-stack.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/toyota-bz4x-battery-pack-21-1024x576.jpg" alt="How long Electric Car Batteries Last" width="750" height="422" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/toyota-bz4x-battery-pack-21-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/toyota-bz4x-battery-pack-21-300x169.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/toyota-bz4x-battery-pack-21-768x432.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/toyota-bz4x-battery-pack-21-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/toyota-bz4x-battery-pack-21-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/toyota-bz4x-battery-pack-21-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Lithium-ion batteries tend to lose their energy capacity over time. That is mostly due to extended usage. According to a study published by Cox Automotive, average car buyers assume that an electric vehicle battery only lasts around 100,000 kilometers (65,000 miles). Although electric car batteries are prone to losing their charge capacity, like every other energy storage solution, these batteries use state-of-the-art anode/cathode chemistries that allow them to last at least 10 years, sometimes even up to 20 years. Customers shouldn&#8217;t worry about wearing their battery any time soon.
Batteries will eventually start to degrade and lose charging capacity over time. The average loss of battery capacity is around 1.5 to 2.5 percent per year. According to Plug In America, the luxury sedan Tesla Model S’s battery only loses 5 percent of its original battery capacity over the first 80,000 km (50,000 miles).
Most manufacturers, including Nissan, Tesla, and Toyota, offer an eight-year (or 160,000 km/100,000 miles) warranty on their electric car batteries. Some automakers, such as Hyundai, provide lifetime coverage for their EV batteries. BMW, Chevrolet, Tesla, Volkswagen, and Nissan will also cover a battery pack replacement if its capacity drops to a certain percentage (70% in most cases). If the car has less than 70% of its original capacity before the end of the eighth year, the warranty will cover all battery replacement costs.
<h3>Electric Car Battery vs Smartphone Battery</h3>
Smartphones have no thermal management for the battery, and fast charging will result in a hot battery. In hot temperatures, battery reactions will speed up and degrade the battery quicker. That’s why smartphone batteries rarely last more than two years.
Electric cars, on the other hand, have advanced thermal management systems, which help the battery pack to optimize its efficiency and eliminate harmful effects of cold/hot temperatures caused by weather, heavy usage/lack of usage, etc.

According to <a href="https://about.bnef.com/blog/battery-pack-prices-fall-to-an-average-of-132-kwh-but-rising-commodity-prices-start-to-bite/">Bloomberg NEF</a>, the average price of lithium-ion batteries dropped from $1,160 per kWh in 2010 to $132 in 2021. Thanks to lower prices, electric car battery replacement costs are also dropping sharply. In order to decrease battery repair bills, automakers are also adopting the remanufactured battery pack strategy, similar to Tesla&#8217;s lower-cost replacement packs with refurbished battery modules.
There is sufficient data on the internet that tells us how much does a Tesla battery cost. According to <a href="https://www.findmyelectric.com/blog/tesla-battery-replacement-cost-explained/">FindmyElectric.com</a>, Tesla Model S full battery replacement should cost between $13,000 to $20,000. A full battery replacement of the premium electric SUV Model X would be around $14,000-$21,000. Tesla&#8217;s mid-size EVs, namely Model 3 and Model Y, are cheaper to repair. The battery pack replacement of these models costs $11,000-$16,000 including labor, miscellaneous parts. The exact replacement cost varies depending on the condition of the battery pack.
Not all EV manufacturers use remanufactured packs to make battery replacement more affordable. Ford, for example, asks more than $43,000 for a brand-new Mustang Mach-E battery pack in Canada. But Ford dealers in the US will charge you around $18,000 to $24,000 for a Mach-E replacement.
<h3>Does Electric Car Battery Disposal Cause Pollution?</h3>
Electric vehicles technically don’t produce any exhaust emissions like carbon monoxide (CO) and NOx. These types of vehicles are definitely cleaner than ICE vehicles. But that doesn’t mean EVs don’t have any carbon footprint. Electric cars use electricity to charge up and a high portion of the electricity generation causes heavy pollution.
EVs are also indirectly polluting the environment with their battery packs. The production and disposal of lithium-ion batteries definitely cause pollution. Of course, batteries and electric vehicles are getting cleaner every day, thanks to stricter rules implemented by governments that encourage manufacturers to act more environment-friendly, and promising developments in the lithium-ion battery recycling industry.
When electric car batteries reach the end of their life, they can be recycled for valuable materials including lithium, nickel, manganese, cobalt, and graphite, which means electric car battery disposal can decrease EV&#8217;s carbon footprint.
Tesla already recycles batteries from its vehicles. Volkswagen’s pilot recycling plant for used EV batteries has also begun operations. Elon Musk expects the auto industry to have enough battery materials inside the existing EV fleet in the next 30-40 years, eliminating the need for mining new materials. The first European lithium-ion battery cell manufacturer Northvolt produced its first cell made “100 percent from recycled nickel, manganese, and cobalt”. But approximately half of the materials in an EV battery pack are recycled. There is still a very long way to go in the battery recycling business.

<h3>Is It Possible to Repair/Recondition An Electric Car Battery?</h3>
When auto services accept an electric car with the inspection of battery failure, first they run a routine diagnosis and determine how much of the original energy storage capacity the battery can still provide. If there are broken battery modules, and the total capacity degraded to a level lower than 70 percent, the electric car battery will most likely be replaced with a new unit.
The electric car services usually don&#8217;t just swap bad modules for good ones, instead, they replace the entire battery with a brand new or remanufactured one. After a new battery pack is installed, the broken/old one is sent back to factories where broken modules will be replaced with good ones, and any other battery pack problems are solved.
Tesla has been using a similar approach to fix battery packs. Ideally for Tesla, all replacement batteries are remanufactured.
