Not only doesn't it say energy density, it doesn't say when they'll be commercially available l. I buy li-ion batteries for my products and would like to know.
And agreed that lowering cost is the key to BEV adoption, but public perception is also important and because the media likes to show BEV fires, people think they catch on fire more often than gas cars .
" The study revealed that petrol and diesel vehicles experienced 1,530 fires per 100,000 vehicles, while only 25 out of 100,000 all-electric vehicles caught fire. This means that the fire rate of electric vehicles is only 1/61 compared to cars using gasoline and oil." But BEV fires really are a lot harder to put out .
It's odd but it seems like BEV dislike is tied to one's politics
In reality, traditional EVs catch fire only 4% as often as gas vehicles on a per-mile basis. This isn't surprising: Gasoline literally only works by burning, while batteries work by NOT burning.
Certainly reducing the risk of fire is a potential feature, but of greater importance right now is cost reduction and volume manufacturing. Getting the purchase price well before comparable gas vehicle prices is the key to completing the transition as quickly as possible.
"Unlike traditional lithium batteries that catch fire and explode when subject to excessive pressure, charge, or heat" Except if the heat exceeds 180C. Lol.
Nanotech Energy has announced its 18650 lithium-ion battery utilizing graphene and a proprietary electrolyte. Unlike traditional lithium batteries that catch fire and explode when subject to excessive pressure, charge, or heat, Nanotech batteries remain safe. This innovation will help reduce injuries caused by burning EV cars and electronics.
