24m a US based battery company who have
0:05
just been able to commercialize a semi
0:08
solid state battery with a staggering
0:10
energy density that is now currently in
0:13
production in America they say their new
0:16
battery packs will give an electric car
0:19
1,000 M of range now this actually
0:22
sounds ridiculous when I first read that
0:25
headline I was skeptical I thought
0:27
really come on then I saw the energy
0:29
density of these batteries and 24m I'm
0:33
not lying you could probably put a 100 K
0:37
pack so not an overly large battery pack
0:39
in something like a Tesla Model 3 if it
0:41
was manufactured by this company and it
0:43
would likely give a model 3 1,000 miles
0:47
of range hello my friends welcome to the
0:50
channel I'm Sam Evans you're watching
0:51
the electric Viking this is really
0:53
amazing technology but let's just get
0:55
straight to it let's cut out all the
0:56
crap there's a whole bunch of crap being
0:57
reported by the media it's all great
1:00
stuff but it's sort of you want to know
1:02
the facts right let's get to the
1:03
straight to the numbers early test
1:05
results of these batteries right they
1:07
are lithium metal semisolid State
1:10
batteries that have been manufactured
1:13
now for a few years but now this is like
1:14
a Gen 2 improved version they use an
1:19
eternal light electrolyte which
1:21
apparently is able to solve the dend Dr
1:23
problems of solid state batteries it has
1:27
led to huge improvements in cycle life
1:29
and rate capability for lithium metal
1:32
batteries with unmatched cycle stability
1:34
so the battery packs now are going to
1:36
last a long time previous ones weren't
1:39
lasting that long huge Improvement in
1:42
Gen 2 the other Improvement in Gen 2 is
1:43
higher energy density for a lithium
1:46
metal cell cycling at 1 C discharge 1 C
1:49
charge 24m eternaly batteries allow the
1:52
cells electrolyte allows the cell to
1:55
retain 83% capacity after 500 Cycles so
1:59
so if you fast charge your battery um
2:02
five more than 500 times you're likely
2:04
to have around
2:05
83% in terms of its battery health after
2:09
500 plus Cycles that's not industry
2:11
leading lithium ion phosphate is
2:13
definitely a bit better fair in fact a
2:15
lot better than that it's still pretty
2:17
good though that is equivalent to more
2:19
than
2:21
500,000 M of total driving so after
2:24
you've driven 500,000 Mi you're still
2:26
going to have 83% battery capacity
2:28
theoretically now this has not been
2:31
tested in an electric car yet hopefully
2:34
that'll happen soon this would allow up
2:36
to 1,000 m per charge considering the
2:39
energy density of the battery pack is
2:43
391 watts per
2:46
kilogram 391 watts per kilogram is
2:49
really really good but what we really
2:51
want to know is what's the Pack level
2:54
the Pack level energy density is far
2:56
more important than cell density because
2:58
some cells just can't be packaged very
2:59
well into a package so you find that the
3:02
actual cell energy density it could be
3:04
say 350 you find that in a pack it might
3:07
be only 200 because of the way they're
3:08
packaged but you can package these cells
3:12
very efficiently so the Pack level is
3:16
350 watts per kilogram which is
3:20
665 watts per liter Pack level energy
3:23
density meaning energy density is
3:26
approximately double of where lithium
3:29
Turner batteries so say 2170 4680 cells
3:32
from Tesla for example it's about double
3:34
what they're
3:36
at that is very high energy density you
3:39
can see why they're saying you can get
3:42
1,000 miles of range now of course this
3:45
would depend on the battery pack size
3:46
because realistically you can get 1,000
3:48
miles of range out of any battery if you
3:50
just get a put a bigger and bigger
3:51
battery pack put a massive battery pack
3:53
I mean it's Tesla cyber Tru for example
3:56
you can get that extra battery pack for
3:57
16,000 maybe if you tripled the size of
3:59
that battery pack you could get 1,000
4:01
miles of range right yeah that's not
4:04
really real world here what I believe
4:06
here though is you can put a real world
4:08
siiz battery pack is something that's
4:10
commercially viable but are you going to
4:12
do this no you're not going to do this
4:14
who on earth needs a th000 miles of
4:16
range there is no internal combustion
4:17
car manufactured worldwide and there
4:20
never has been commercially on a
4:22
commercial scale with 1,000 Mi of range
4:25
it's ridiculous you don't need that
4:26
right the most you could ever possibly
4:28
need would be say 600 mil of range and
4:31
that's the thing this battery pack 600
4:34
mil of range maybe you're looking at say
4:37
a 60 Kow hour size pack that is
4:41
incredible this is the point in which we
4:45
see El electric airplanes I'm talking
4:47
jumbo Jets I'm talking you know big
4:50
747s becoming commercially viable there
4:54
are companies now in Europe saying that
4:56
as a result of these batteries
5:00
electric airplanes are completely
5:02
possible not even possible but they are
5:04
just completely feasible they now just
5:06
need more funding to start building them
5:10
so this 24m electrolyte is clearly huge
5:15
it's the future of the EV industry I I
5:17
don't understand why companies say for
5:20
example Porsche uh you know Ferrari
5:23
these companies where people are willing
5:24
to pay2 3
5:26
$400,000 for a super car I mean these
5:29
companies Ferrari for example are saying
5:31
oh you know we're not quite there yet
5:33
Lamborghini is saying the same thing in
5:34
terms of having electric supercars with
5:36
lightweight batteries you could
5:38
absolutely make an electric superc car
5:40
supercars internal combustion engine
5:42
supercars only usually have around 300 M
5:44
of range maximum maximum I mean have a
5:47
look at some of the tests done by
5:49
Massive car magazines they're getting
5:50
about 200 Mi of range out of a Supercar
5:54
if you put in say 300 M of range in a
5:57
superc car the battery you would need
5:59
from 24m would be very very small you
6:02
could easily make a very very
6:06
lightweight electric super car with
6:08
Incredible performance using this
6:10
battery technology which is well really
6:12
from MIT now the founder of this company
6:18
24m he's from the laboratory in MIT so
6:23
this is truly kind of an really an
6:25
American innovation and there are some
6:28
battery companies in the US doing some
6:30
amazing things are they making
6:33
affordable lithiumion phosphate
6:34
batteries like CHL and B no are they
6:38
making incredible Next Generation
6:39
technology like this they are could this
6:42
be the future of the EV industry
6:44
probably not but will it play a part in
6:47
the future absolutely it'll play a part
6:49
in the high-end EVS for example if you
6:52
were to buy say an expensive electric
6:54
car say $80,000 plus this is the kind of
6:58
Technology you want to have in that car
7:00
and I don't see why that won't happen I
