Chinese carmaker Dongfeng has developed a solid-state battery that outputs 350 watt-hours per kilogram, which could change the future of electric cars.
According to interesting engineeringautomakers have created test fleets of EVs equipped with these batteries. They will be evaluated under an “intensive winter calibration program” in the Mohe region near China’s northern border.
The test examines battery performance, stability, and durability in sub-zero conditions. Interestring Engineering said the company will also monitor EV range and charging performance.
Efficiency, battery system integration and structural safety are top priorities for testing.
According to Interesting Engineering, Dongfeng said the battery should be able to provide up to 620 miles of range on a single charge. The automaker also claimed that the battery can maintain about 72% of its energy capacity at temperatures as low as -22 degrees Fahrenheit.
According to Interesting Engineering, Dongfeng hopes to integrate solid-state batteries into EVs in September.
However, it will still take some time for EVs equipped with solid-state batteries to become widespread. However, other manufacturers are working on similar technology, including Volkswagen, BMW, Toyota, and Hyundai. Electrek.
Other battery developments that could change the future of EVs include hair-thin protective films and new laser technology.
car and driver He explained that these advances are essential to reducing the cost of EVs.
From a general perspective, EVs offer a variety of benefits for people and the planet. Natural Resources Defense Council. No tailpipe pollution that causes health problems or warms the planet. EVs also reduce noise pollution because they are much quieter than gasoline cars.
