Researchers dismantle Tesla and BYD #batteries and reveal surprising results.

"The most surprising finding : complete absence of silicon in both battery anodes. This discovery particularly shocked researchers regarding Tesla’s cells, since #silicon incorporation typically enhances #energydensity significantly. Industry experts had widely assumed that advanced manufacturers would utilize silicon-enhanced #anodes to maximize performance."

@glitzersachen @leanlearnlead granted the faster a battery is charged, the less efficient it is and the more straining it is on the battery chemistry.

• That's an inherent problem with any #BatteryElectricVehicle and the reason why (electrochemically produced!) #Methanol (doesn't require high-pressure-systems like #Hydrogen!) & #FuelCells are the superior solution longterm, as those solves the #EnergyDensity, #ChargingSpeed and #EnergyStorage problems whilst allowing the replacement and conversion of emergency power sources to the use of a renewable fuel.

But aside from that, there's no reason why #BEV #Charging needs to be more complex than these few steps;

1. plug in the vehicle with a CCS2 plug
2. select the amount of kWh / money one.wants to spend. (being able to abort if the energy price is abdurdly high!)
3. pay with card (NFC+PIN).
4. upon payment confirmation, the vehucle gets charged and the charging station shows an estimated completion timer & offers sending a notification via eMail or SMS.
5. Once completed, the charging station will unlock the plug/socket and send said notification out. In the meantime another customer could just pull the unlocked plug and start their charging.

Just like on a (abeit slow) gas pump!

@CppGuy One word: #Tetraetyllead

• But fear not, when a #BEV's battery has a #ThermalRunoff (cuz they use shitty #LiCo ( #LiPo / #LiIon) and not #LiFePO4) they'll release a white cloud of #FluoricAcid #vapours and then start a #MetalFire that is basically "unextinguishable" (as in the only proven strategy is to throw dry sandbags in it and hope it glasses itself like the #ElephantsFoot from #Chornobyl...

IMHO it'll be inevitable that #Methanol #FuelCell-based #EV|s will be the future simply because:
1.#Lithium is scarce & expensive
2.#refueling will always be faster than #charging
3.#EnergyDensity of Methanol exceeds that of any #battery
4.#FussilFuel #Corporations can simply switchover pumps and flex their #EconomyOfScale and existing #Logistics to flood the market with cheap Methanol even if it has to be made 100% sustainable and without any fossil resources.
5.#EnergyStorage is another problem and #FuelCells can replace both #EmergencyPower systems running if #Diesel as well as the average #gasoline #generator.

Not to mention there needs to be #SystemChangeNotClimateChange and that necessitates way better #PublicTransport, regardless if #Trains, #Trams, #Trolleybuses or #FuelcellBuses (in that order)...

• Otherwise shit won't change.

OFC what any #BEVs won't fix is the fact that most particle emissions are #tire #brake #dust...

• And those are inherebtly unavoidable.unless we want to sacrifice #RoadSafety!
