The Battery Life Of Electric Cars Will Soon Exceed One And A Half Million Kilometers

Physics professor Jeff Dunn, who is researching batteries for electric cars with the support of Tesla, predicted the imminent appearance of batteries capable of withstanding a life of 1.6 million kilometers (one million miles). This is reported by Electrek, citing its own sources.

• For three years, Dan conducted life tests of batteries, testing multiple charging and discharging cycles at 20, 40 and 55 degrees Celsius, checked the characteristics of different electrolyte compositions and, as a result, allegedly managed to develop batteries that could withstand about 6000 charge cycles and about 1, 6 million kilometers. This is roughly three times the stated battery life on current Tesla models.
• According to Dan, the introduction of batteries with such a resource will make the service of unmanned taxis commercially profitable and will stimulate the development of electric commercial vehicles - in particular, trucks, which have very large annual mileage and constant "long-distance" flights with frequently repeated charging / discharging cycles. …
