Elon Musk SUCCESSFULLY Found A New Battery That Will Last A 100 Years!

Battery issues have been a major barrier to the widespread adoption of electric vehicles, owing to the limited mileage range and the mining of rare earth minerals. A Tesla research team, on the other hand, is working on a battery design that could last a record-breaking 100 years. Could this be real? Let’s find out!

Hello everyone! Welcome back to Elon Musk Evolution, where we bring you the most recent news about Elon Musk and his multibillion-dollar companies.

And, let’s begin!

Tesla confirmed that nearly half of all vehicles manufactured in the previous quarter used cobalt-free iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries.
The information also provides an intriguing glimpse into Tesla's model mix, which is generally quite opaque.

Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, has stated numerous times in recent years that the company intends to transition more electric vehicles to LFP batteries in order to address nickel and cobalt supply concerns.

Iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, which do not contain nickel or cobalt, are traditionally less expensive and safer, but they have a lower energy density, making electric vehicles less efficient and have a shorter range.

However, they have recently improved to the point where using cobalt-free batteries in lower-end and shorter-range vehicles make sense.
It also frees up the production of battery cells with other, more energy-dense chemistries, allowing for the production of more long-range vehicles.
Tesla has already switched to LFP cells in its Standard Range Model 3 and Model Y models manufactured in China.

Tesla also announced last year that it is "globally shifting to Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery chemistry" for "standard range vehicles."
It confirmed that Tesla intended to switch the Model 3 Standard Range, also known as the Model 3 Rear-Wheel-Drive, produced in Fremont to LFP cells as well.

Tesla confirmed that nearly half of all vehicles produced now use LFP batteries with the release of its Q1 2022 financial results:
“Diversification of battery chemistries is critical for long-term capacity growth, to better optimize our products for their various use cases and expand our supplier base.
This is why nearly half of Tesla vehicles produced in Q1 were equipped with a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, containing no nickel or cobalt. Currently, LFP batteries are used in most of our standard range vehicle products, as well as commercial energy storage applications. As a result of our energy efficient motors, a Model 3 with an LFP battery pack can still achieve a 267-mile EPA range.

This means that the Model 3 Rear-Wheel-Drive, the cheapest Tesla vehicle, and the Model Y Standard Range, which is only available in China, account for roughly half of Tesla's volume.

Drew Baglino, Tesla's SVP of engineering, was asked how quickly Tesla can switch to LFP chemistry:

“I’ll take the LFP question. Like it says so in our letter, but half of our products were LFP last quarter, which shows how quickly we were able to respond. But honestly, it wasn’t because of a raw material shortage. It just seemed like the right thing to do. We could change our cathode chemistry.

And there’s more to be done on the cathode side and we are actively pursuing it to give us substitution flexibility in response to market conditions between the other cathodes that are out there that can be competitive in our vehicle. There are many options.”
