Teslas May Soon Boast 434+ Miles Range and 15-Min Fast Charging with New Battery Tech
Vehicle Suggest ^ | September 6, 2023 | By Saurav Revankar

CATL, a name that has become synonymous with cutting-edge battery technology, continues to solidify its position as the world’s largest lithium-ion battery manufacturer. With a focus on innovation and sustainability, CATL has been a crucial player in the electric vehicle ecosystem, supplying batteries to some of the biggest names in the automotive industry, including Tesla.

Recently, CATL made headlines by unveiling its latest marvel – a new lithium-ion phosphate battery that promises to redefine the benchmarks for EV performance. This groundbreaking technology claims to add approximately 400 kilometers (around 249 miles) of range in just a 10-minute charge and enables electric vehicles to travel over 700 kilometers (around 435 miles) on a single charge. These numbers are not just incremental improvements; they represent a quantum leap in battery technology.

The implications of this new technology are far-reaching, especially for Tesla, which currently sources lithium-ion phosphate batteries from CATL. With the potential for faster charging times, increased range, and improved cold-weather performance, this new battery technology could be a game-changer, not just for Tesla but for the broader electric vehicle industry as well.

I'm waiting for this. Look at how happy they are "Jetsoning" around.

When you're transferring the same amount of energy in a shorter amount of time, something is getting hotter.

So that will just juice the propellerheads to look further into room-temperature superconductors.

Heating is a function of resistance. When resistance goes to zero, there is no heat gain.

(Of course, like room-temp superconductors, the new battery technology will need to be proven at scale. Don't hold your breath.)

I'm waiting for cars to have a "Mr. Fusion" come standard. That should have happened by now.

I agree with being highly skeptical. Many things are hyped beyond the reality, but especially EV's because they're overtly pushed by the political class as the answer to non-existent problems.

No one should get an EV without first doing his homework on both his driving habits (both local driving and road trip driving) and real world results of various EV's in various climates (particularly the climate he drives in most).

An EV works for my wife and me because we need 2 cars anyway (having both an EV and an ICE gives us options), live in a warm climate, charge at home for local driving and the first leg of a trip, drive enough miles for the gas savings to add up (26K miles per year), virtually all of the road trips we make have plenty of fast chargers to use (in other words it's rare a road trip would require driving the ICE instead of the EV), and on trips my wife always asks to stop every 200 miles and walk around for 10-15 minutes anyway (which is conducive to charging needs and speeds in the EV on trips).

If that doesn't sound like someone else's driving habits then he probably shouldn't get an EV.

May or may not.
80% of everything is fake or a lie.

I don’t care if it gets 1000 miles to a charge...I can’t afford to buy this “wonder”. It’s going to beat out the Edsel as a dream car. /s

“Level 1 and 2 can be used at home for 120/240V, Single Phase services.”

Here’s a dirty utility secret. Secondary distribution systems in your neighborhood serve 10-15 homes. The system was not designed for EV charging. It can handle four EV chargers, no more. The secondary distribution system was designed for the previous era when not everything was electric.

True, to transfer that much power in that short of time is going to take some very heavy duty wiring and it won’t be cheap

Where will the electricity come from?? No one even makes an attempt to answer the question.

While our competitors and enemies on the world stage continue to use gasoline and diesel powered vehicles and fossil fuels to power factories and heat buildings our insanely
out-of-control government spends our tax money to hamstring us with forced conversion to more expensive, higher polluting and less convenient “green” power.

Give American ingenuity a chance. It may not be the market forces that’s doing this but what if it works?

And it may not. I will bet real money it will not.

Honestly you just need a basic amount of reason with a touch of fundamental science to know this is NOT realistic given current technologies and infrastructure.

There are currently about 300 million cars in the US. You really think the grid is going to handle that when all cars are EVs?
