Tesla patented a hybrid battery, which is enough for 640+ kilometers

The problem of electric cars is that so far in most countries, even, as they say, developed, there is no extensive network of electric gas stations. Yes, in cities and even small settlements there are such gas stations, but what can an electric car owner do if there is more distance between settlements than his battery can “stretch”? With hybrids, everything is clear, there, when the battery is discharged to about 30%, the internal combustion engine starts to work, which charges the batteries. The same Chevy Volt can travel 1000 kilometers on 45 liters of fuel, precisely because of this principle of operation. But what about the "clean" electric car? In Tesla, to solve the above problem, they propose to introduce a new type of battery, which is enough for a journey of 640+ kilometers (400 miles).



The company has already patented a battery that can provide the vehicle with power for just such a distance. In general, this is not surprising, since Tesla constantly offers new technologies / ideas. For example, in three years, the company promises to present robotic cars that can drive on roads without driver participation. In addition, the replacement of the batteries in the S EV model is carried out in just 90 seconds, to a fully charged one, after which the journey can continue. Of course, the place where the batteries are changed, you still need to find, but, nevertheless, this is already there.

The battery itself, which is patented by the company, is a hybrid. It combines both a lithium-ion battery and a metal-air one. The first component is planned to be used for trips over short distances. But the second, metal-air, will be involved during long trips. This is because metal-air batteries have a shorter service life than lithium-ion batteries, and often recharging them means “faster” to kill.



With all this, there is still a problem, when a motorist often “rides” over long distances, but still for those people who travel around the city more than make long country and long-distance trips, a hybrid battery can be a real solution to the lack of an electric gas station. between settlements.
