Lithium-ion battery

technologies Conventional electric double-layer capacitors are being worked to achieve the energy density of lithium ion batteries, offering almost unlimited life spans and no environmental issues. High-K electric double-layer capacitors, such as EEStor's EESU, could improve lithium ion energy density several times over if they can be produced. Lithium-sulphur batteries offer 250 Wh/kg.[84] Sodium-ion batteries promise 400 Wh/kg with only minimal expansion/contraction during charge/discharge and a very high

Tesla is an auto car company of the 21st century founded by Elon Musk, Martin Eberhard, JB Straubel and Ian Wright. The company also manufactures power walls and battery charging equipment. Tesla is well known for the production of its first sports car Tesla Roadster coupled with two other cars Tesla Model S and the current Tesla Model X. Elon Musk is the face of the company and has driven the company through odds building confidence among its shareholders and customers (Marcovici, 2013, p 45). The

smooth acceleration. Some of the models of EVs have an electric motor for each wheel. Having these four motors not only allows for better propulsion, but also for the use of braking and changing the kinetic energy back into chemical energy in the batteries. The traction that the car gets is also increased with each wheel driving. In some of the EV models the electric motors can be mounted directly inside the mounting for the wheel, which enables a loss of all the moving parts between the motor and

One source I am considering for my research is an article titled “Building Better Batteries for Electric Cars” by Jim Witkin which was published in “The New York Times” on March 30, 2011. However, I have yet to evaluate the sources and verify that it is credible enough to be used in my research. Author’s Credentials The author of the article, Jim Witkin

SECONDARY BATTERIES COURSE NAME: ENGINEERING CHEMISTRY COURSE CODE: CHY1001 SLOT :C1 SUBMITTED BY: K.NITHESH CHANDHER REG.NO:15BCE0710 INTRODUCTION: A Rechargeable cells that converts chemical energy into electrical energy is called as Secondary cells. It can also be stated as a cell in which cell reaction can be reversed by passing direct electric current in opposite direction. Thus, a secondary batteries may be

developed a zero emission luxury electric powered sedan the Model S. Tesla designs, develops, and manufactures lithium-ion battery packs, electric motors, and components for its own vehicles and some competitors like Daimler and Toyota. Product Line Tesla gained initial attention with the launch of the first zero emssion electric sports car, the Tesla Roadster in 2008. The car’s battery powertrain was designed and made in-house at Tesla’s production factory in California and the body and chassis

sustainable energy productivity and market its products to become more affordable. To provide electricity, Tesla utilizes lithium ion battery for energy, and now its extension spreads to 30 countries from across North America, Europe, Australia, China and South Korea. In 2012, Tesla launched the first fully operated electric sedan, with moderate comfort and storage, the battery is located in the

is the world’s second largest manufacturer of rechargeable batteries. Exhibit 1 shows that between 1999 and 2001, BYD’s annual sales grew three times - exceeding RMB 1.3 billion in 2001. Based on the first four months of 2002, BYD’s annual sales are expected exceed RMB 1.6 billion in 2002. Founded in 1995 by Wang Chuan-Fu, chairman and president, BYD has built its reputation by becoming the largest Chinese supplier of lithium-ion batteries to cell phone manufacturers. Exhibit 3 shows that by 2002

has a technological advantage in the battery market industry with their partnership with Panasonic. Panasonic and Tesla collaborated in the development of the Gigafactory, which “is designed to churn out cells for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) with a combined energy storage capacity of 35 GWh per year – more than the total energy storage capacity of lithium-ion batteries produced worldwide in 2013” (Martin, 2014, p. 327). With the large capacity batteries, Tesla BEV’s driving range are incomparable

assessment of Tesla’s long-term success? In oligopoly and more than 100 years old auto industry, Tesla has the competitive advantage in Electric Vehicles. There are great chances of Tesla’s Gigafactory will be the primary source for the world’s lithium battery requirements. Tesla is the only company investing heavily in electric charging stations and research and development in the automobile industry either in ICE or EV. Tesla cars are very expensive, production and deliveries are lower. Once production
