Battery Degradation
Battery Degradation: The study's focus on how EV batteries retain capacity over time.
Engineers at NC State University have developed the Chen-Huang Nonequilibrium Phasex Transformation (NExT) Model to improve understanding of dynamic processes in energy storage materials.
Researchers at UC San Diego have developed a new method combining scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with a simple algorithm to predict lithium metal battery performance and failure.
The automotive industry is re-evaluating electric vehicle longevity as high-mileage units demonstrate robust performance and battery retention, challenging traditional depreciation models.
Battery X Metals' Prototype 2.0 successfully restored a Class 3 electric truck's range from 40 km to 295 km, a 637.5% improvement, in real-world trials.
A study by UK specialists RSEV tested a Tesla Model 3 with 225,000 miles against a newer model, finding nearly identical efficiency and battery performance.
