The deal also reduces Tesla’s reliance on Chinese suppliers. LGES will produce the LFP cells at its factory in Michigan, says ...

The most intriguing characteristic of the new battery cells is that they don't show any degradation after 1,000 cycles. This makes CATL confident enough to offer a 1.5-million km (932,000 miles ...

While the latter has 262 Wh/kg at the cell level, the 4680 cells only provide 229 Wh/kg. Thus, the standard-range Model Y features a 67-kWh battery pack instead of the 81-kWh of the Long Range model.

The company, which supplies Tesla, General Motors and Volkswagen among other automakers, reported an operating profit of 492 ...

Here’s what it means for its production growth. The 4680 battery cell is a new format, 46mm x 80mm, enabled by a few new technologies that Tesla announced at Battery Day in 2020.

On Battery Day, we established a cost-down roadmap through 2026 across five areas of effort. There was the cell design we discussed; anode and cathode materials, the structural pack concept, and ...

Global battery cell prices slid to record lows last month due to persistent declines in raw materials prices such as lithium and cobalt, consultancy Benchmark Mineral Intelligence said.

These battery-cell controllers boost performance, accuracy, and safety without changing the chemistry inside lithium-ion ...

Tesla has started to purchase battery cells from BYD, and they're being used in Model Y crossovers produced in Germany. By: Steven Loveday May 23, 2023 at 8:55am ET ...
