| Reuters: Tesla is developing a revolutionary battery that makes its car cheaper than usual |
Reuters quoted people familiar with the case on Thursday as Tesla manufacturers of electric cars are preparing to supply low-cost batteries that will last longer later this year or early next year than electric cars in China.
The agency said the battery was called the general battery (a million km battery). The car was developed in cooperation with the Chinese battery giant Amperex Technology, and determined how long the car can last, part of Tesla's head. Designed by battery expert appointed by General Manager (Elon Musk).
It should be noted that Tesla is already a leader in the production of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles, and is expected to provide investors with more information about the new technologies planned for the end of this month next month (Battery Day).
Musk told investors and analysts earlier this year that the news "will surprise you, which surprised me." The company originally planned to hold the event in April, but had to postpone it until the end of May due to the new Corona virus (Covid-19) epidemic. The company held a similar event in April 2019, focusing on self-driving technology.
The battery is expected to reduce the cost per kilowatt hour to less than $ 100. This is the most used unit for measuring battery pack capacity in modern electric vehicles. Many experts believe that by achieving this goal, Tesla or other auto manufacturers can sell electric cars at the same price as gasoline engines, making it easier to purchase electric vehicles.
(GM) is also working hard to achieve this goal in cooperation with LG Chem, the Korean battery manufacturer LG Chem, as the company recently attended EV on March last year, but this is not expected to happen the company achieved its goal before the current decade. In the medium term.
According to Reuters, Musk used many public affairs experts, such as patents and scientific articles, to qualify them to develop the next generation of batteries. Information about these batteries has spread steadily throughout the year. Tesla has funded the expert team since 2016. Tesla has also acquired several companies that have contributed to the development of the batteries, such as b. Maxwell Technologies.
