Musk announced a series of advances, and these are realistic goals and incremental improvements in the individual components and processes, that will yield to :
--> a 54 percent increase in range
--> a 56 percent decrease in the dollar per kilowatt-hour pack price
--> a 69 percent decrease in capital investment required for manufacturing.
All these can surely enable Tesla to make a $25,000 electric vehicle in three years.
The first change is done right now with a much thicker cell form factor, the 4680. The
new tab less design simplifies
manufacturing, improves the power-to-weight ratio, and virtually eliminates heat when supercharging: very big charging speed will be seen then.
This new battery will adds 16 percent range versus Tesla's current battery cells
and reduces the cost per kilowatt-hour by 14 percent, and its currently being built in USA.
Besides, they are working on a silicon anode to increase
range by 20 percent and lozer costs by 5 percent, and also on a high-nickel cathode that eliminates cobalt, leading to a 15
percent reduction in cost.
Great future is at hands!!
