Panasonic: 25% meer rijbereik mogelijk tegen einde 2027

Bij hetzelfde volume belooft Panasonic quasi 25% meer rijbereik.

Of volumetrische energiedichtheid (Wh/L) wordt 25% meer.

Panasonic is langjarige partner van Tesla.
Het Model Y zou dan 145 km meer rijbereik krijgen.

Panasonic aims to develop groundbreaking EV battery in about two years

(Reuters) - Panasonic aims to develop a new type of higher-capacity battery in about two years, potentially extending the driving range of electric vehicles in a groundbreaking advance for the Tesla supplier.

The Japanese company is working on eliminating the anode in batteries during the manufacturing stage to increase energy density through technology it says is likely to provide a "world-leading level" of capacity by the end of 2027.

If achieved, the improvement would lead to a 25% increase in battery capacity, thus boosting the driving range of Tesla’s most affordable sport-utility vehicle, the Model Y, by almost 90 miles (about 145 km), at current battery pack size, Panasonic said.

Alternatively, Panasonic could also use the technology to make lighter - and potentially cheaper - versions of batteries by keeping the current driving range and shrinking the battery pack size.

A company executive told reporters of the anode-free technology ahead of a presentation on Thursday by Shoichiro Watanabe, the technology chief at the group's battery arm, Panasonic Energy.

This technology is also being pursued by multiple global battery producers.

Panasonic's proposed design has no anode at the manufacturing stage. Instead, a lithium metal anode is formed in the battery after being charged for the first time. This would free up room for more active cathode materials — nickel, cobalt and aluminium — to boost capacity without changing the volume.

Panasonic said it also aims to reduce the proportion of nickel, which is relatively more expensive.

It was not clear whether the technology would help Tesla to lower prices and Panasonic declined to discuss specifics on manufacturing costs.

Tesla Model Y may gain an extra 90 miles of range with Panasonic’s next-gen battery

The Japanese company is pursuing an anode-free design.

Andere batterijconstructeurs zullen dit ook wel ontwikkelen.
In elk geval een volgende stap naar kleinere en lichtere batterijen voor dezelfde energie-opslag.
