The increased density seems like it might create cooling, and hence lifetime issues, is lifetime on solid state batteries well known yet?
Also, as a resident of an area that gets very hot, does anyone do a good job at self cooling besides tesla packs? Last I heard the leaf lost capacity very quickly in places like Phoenix.
- chipsa 4y agoEssentially every other EV maker uses temperature regulation on batteries. Ex: BMW i3 uses A/C evaporator coils in the battery. Chevy Bolts run a coolant plate in the battery that is heated/cooled as appropriate. Nissan Ariyas have a coolant loop in the battery. Ford Mustang Mach-Es run a coolant plate in the battery (actually nigh identical to the Bolt). VW ID.4s use a coolant plate.
- panick21_ 4y agoBattery don't just innovate on density. They also innovate on how much heat they produce and how they are cooled. > is lifetime on solid state batteries well known yet? We need to get away from the term 'solid state' battery. There is not one 'solid state' battery. Just as with Li-Ion there is a massive difference between different versions. But for non of those batteries we have real live use in large uses-cases like cars. QS in particular promises pretty good lifetime but they also don't report all the data many people would want to see.
