Battery news reports battery makers see BEV mfgrs building different vehicles than LiON. Top of the list is RANGE – Consumer’s #1 purchase anxiety. Next LiON CHARGING time, availability and demand are critical already. Lastly, CHEMISTRY, raw ingredients, which LiON battery makers are currently hostage to China. The report major focus is TIME.
The unique takeaway from the report is its combination of all three battery friction points impact on future BEV. It’s thesis is “small battery” plays increasingly larger role as charging TIME competition approaches filling a car’s gas tank. The driver behind small battery being increasing market size and the demand for affordable BEV.
Its conclusion is that different, better CHEMISTRY; more affordable, faster CHARGING battery enables SMALL battery for different, better priced cars where RANGE is conquered by a quick charge TIME.
Small battery looks like Charger networks become the new filling station. Profit moves off the car to Chargers. People drive matchbox EV’s, travel mass transport or add BIG battery swap packs onto an undersized battery EV they use daily when they need to travel longer distances. I’m not so sure…
