The Best Way to Bet on Batteries

It’s not as if conventional battery technology is standing still. Elon Musk’s Tesla Motors Inc. (TSLA) and Panasonic Corp. (PCRFY) are building a “gigafactory” with the goal of driving down the cost of widely-used lithium-ion batteries by 80% within 10 years. That would make electric vehicles cost competitive with conventional cars and trucks, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, and could make home solar energy battery packs affordable.

Meanwhile, Sony Corp. (SNE), the company that introduced the first commercial lithium-ion battery back in 1991, is planning to bring lithium-sulfur batteries – which promise 40% better capacity – to market in 2020.

Other would-be battery manufacturers are experimenting with everything from nanotechnology to Prussian Blue dye (used to color blue jeans, crayons, and paint) in an effort to make cheaper, more powerful, longer lasting batteries.

There’s no question that many industries are hungry for them.

Market research firm Frost & Sullivan predicts the lithium battery market will grow from $17.5 billion in 2013 to $76.4 billion in 2020, a 23% compound annual growth rate.

That prediction has driven venture capital funding and government grants to support at least 13 battery technology start-ups, many of them founded by professors and students at MIT, Harvard, Stanford and other top research universities. Major automobile manufacturers, including Toyota and GM, are also funding battery research.

Since many of those start-ups aren’t publicly traded, investors have few options other than Elon Musk’s Tesla Motors Inc. (TSLA) and SolarCity Corp. (SCTY), Panasonic Corp. (PCRFY), or Sony Corp. (SNE). Unfortunately, these are diversified companies whose fortunes will depend on more than just their advances in battery technology…

And of course, the real battery of the future may be made from dirt. Or water activated. Or solid state. Or use a technology that hasn’t been invented yet.

But with energy storage, the key that unlocks the potential of wind power, solar power, electric vehicles, and energy self-sufficiency, there’s more research and more incentive than ever to bring new battery technologies to the market.

Qua productie is het nog wachten op (meer) Gigafactory(s)... vooral voor E-....wagens

juli 2017 ramp up - 2019 tenlaatste gaat een verdubbeling geven enkel door Gigafactory 1 Tesla-Panasonic met de nieuwe 2170 cellen.

#Andere constructeurs zullen volgen om die nieuwe 2170-maat concurrentieel te zijn, zoals Samsung SDI, maar de productie moet serieus omhoog zie balkengrafiek Samsung...:

Samsung unveils its own ‘2170’ battery cell to compete with Tesla/Panasonic and new battery enabling 370-mile EV range & 20 mins charging

Fred Lambert - Jan. 9th 2017

A week after Tesla and Panasonic announced the start of mass production of their ‘2170’ battery cell, which they claim will have the highest energy density and be the cheapest mass-produced cell available, Samsung SDI unveiled its own battery cell with the same format at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) 2017 and also a new prismatic cell.

The Korean electronic giant didn’t reveal a lot of information about the two new products – especially not the chemistry of the cells beyond lithium-ion. Apparently, the new prismatic cell (pictured above) is the one enabling “up to 600 km (370 miles) and that can fast charge EVs in 20 minutes”.
