In recent years, researchers have worked hard to improve the energy density, safety, environmental impact, and service life of lithium-ion batteries. The energy density of the traditional lithium-ion battery technology is now close to the bottleneck, and there is limited room for further optimization.
This is not a good way to predict the life expectancy of EV batteries, especially for people who own EVs for everyday commuting, according to the study published Dec. 9 in Nature Energy. While battery prices have plummeted about 90% over the past 15 years, batteries still account for almost a third of the price of a new EV.
In the case of EV batteries, a collection rate of about 70% in 2020 and at least 85% from 2030 onwards has been assumed ( Drabik and Rizos, 2018 ). The average lifetime of cobalt-bearing products considered in the model is around 1 year for hard materials and 5–8 years for the others. Table 5. Lifetime of end-uses considered in the model.
Almost always, battery scientists and engineers have tested the cycle lives of new battery designs in laboratories using a constant rate of discharge followed by recharging. They repeat this cycle rapidly many times to learn quickly if a new design is good or not for life expectancy, among other qualities.
Insufficient supply of domestic lithium resources is a key bottleneck for the pressure of lithium supply and demand in China’s new energy vehicle industry.
Consumers’ real-world stop-and-go driving of electric vehicles benefits batteries more than the steady use simulated in almost all laboratory tests of new battery designs, Stanford-SLAC study finds. The way people actually drive and charge their electric vehicles may make batteries last longer than researchers have estimated. | Cube3D
