ELON MUSK REVEALS 2 TESLA BATTERY DESIGNS COULD LAST MILLIONS OF MILES, SHOCK INDUSTRY

EV Channels Review

This video delves into the groundbreaking advancements in Tesla's battery technology, focusing on the potential for batteries lasting millions of miles. It highlights CATL's new LFP Gen 3 battery, specifically the Shenxing Plus, which boasts an impressive 621-mile range and 4C super-fast charging (adding 370 miles in 10 minutes). The review notes that while this technology could revolutionize EVs by eliminating range anxiety and long charging times, it may not be immediately suitable for the budget-focused Model 2 due to increased costs. The video also touches upon the potential obsolescence of Tesla's 4680 battery in favor of these new LFP advancements, emphasizing the cost benefits and improved performance of the new chemistry, particularly its cobalt-free nature. However, challenges remain regarding energy density compared to 4680 cells and sustainable production/recycling.
