End Of LITHIUM. Elon Musk Announces Adopt CATL’s 3 Million Kilometer Battery for Tesla EVs. On November 24, 2024, Chinese battery maker, CATL, officially launched new batteries for heavy-duty commercial vehicles under its Tectrans brand. The China-based company has introduced two batteries for commercial vehicles so far: the Tectrans – T Superfast Charging edition and the Tectrans – T Long Life edition. The T-Superfast Charging edition has a 4C peak charging rate, enabling a 70% charge in 15 minutes. Meanwhile, the T Long Life editions have an estimated lifespan of up to 15 years or 3 million kilometers, which make this Tectrans project also well-known under the name "3-million-kilometre battery".
End Of LITHIUM. Elon Musk Announces Adopt CATL’s 3 Million Kilometer Battery for Tesla EVs. The phrase “3-million-kilometre battery" suggests that the battery is ultra-long-lasting as it has a lifespan capable of powering an EV for 3 million kilometers (about 1.86 million miles) of driving before significant degradation. This would be a major advancement over current lithium-ion batteries, which typically last around 200,000 to 500,000 kilometers (124,000 to 310,000 miles) before needing replacement. But what lies beneath this majestic innovation? Let’s break it down together.
