While all eyes are on a possible Tesla solid-state battery, the truth is that Tesla has been developing its lithium-ion batteries to the maximum extent. Recently, Jeff Dahn, Tesla's battery research partner, revealed some updates on a new battery he and his team has been working on, which is a hybrid battery. In this video, I explain what the hybrid battery is and why it has the potential to disrupt the electric vehicle industry.

While there's been much speculation about a tesla solid-state battery Tesla's, recent moves have been pointing towards a separate body revolution, which is the further innovate on the existing lithium-ion battery on May 4th Tesla's battery research partner, Jeff Don released a new battery bay dude that hasn't been Done before in all-electric hybrid battery in this video, I'm going to explain what the hybrid battery is and why I believe that technology is groundbreaking. Jeff Don's, release of the hybrid battery is a revolutionary breakthrough in the range extender sector. Typically, an electric vehicle with a range extender refers to an electric car that has a tiny internal combustion engine recharging. The battery, for example, the BMW i3 Rex and evey with a range extender, has a party pack allowing the vehicle to drive 126 miles on one charge.
However, using its internal combustion engine, the vehicle can recharge the battery to a total range of 200 miles. This all seems pretty pointless because of the fact that it involves gasoline in what should be an electric vehicle. As a result, Jeff Don and his team have revealed an all-electric version of this range extender, which is a hybrid lithium ion and lithium metal battery cell. In order to understand how the hybrid battery works, we need to go over how a lithium ion battery works.
If you already know how a lithium ion battery works go to the time stamp on the screen, there are three key components of the battery the anode cathode an electrolyte. Depending on this situation, the anode is the positive side in the cathode is the negative side and vice-versa, the anode and cathode transfer energy through the movement of ions, which the electrolyte catalyzes. The ultimate goal of the hybrid battery is to increase the energy density of Tesla's batteries, which allow for longer driving ranges conventionally batteries use graphite as the. However, if that graphite was replaced with lithium metal, this would increase the energy density and, as a result, increase the driving range.
Nonetheless, there is one major downside to lithium metal a far shorter battery cell lifetime. This is due to the fact that lithium metal loses the majority of its capacity incredibly fast. In order to solve this issue, Jeff Don has proposed a hybrid lithium ion and lithium metal cell. This strategy adds a lithium metal plate to the graphite anode.
However, Don isn't the first person who's done. This many researchers have tried this before and normally adding a lithium metal plate to the graphite, anode still degrades the battery. Now this is where Dawn's team makes a revolutionary change by using an optimized duo. Salt electrolyte Don's team was able to reverse the lithium plating on the graphite.
Consequently, allowing for a controllable multi-mode between the typical lithium ion mode and the lithium metal plated mode. This Hybrid annulled allows for a 20 % increase in energy density compared to the conventional lithium ion battery. All of this sounds fantastic, but many of you are probably wondering how do these battery specs affect the electric vehicle performance in Jeff Don's research report? He described how, if an electric vehicle with a conventional lithium-ion battery can deliver a range of 400 kilometers, then hybrid cells could enable a range of 480 kilometers in miles. This would mean that a vehicle with the 248 mile range would be able to go 298 miles on one charge if the vehicle was using the lithium metal mode on Don's hybrid battery. However, although this is great, the downside to this is that operating a hybrid cell in the lithium ion mode delivers an energy density of 530 watt hours per liter about 25 % less than a conventional lithium-ion cell. This will result in a range of 300 kilometers. Essentially, what this means is that the vehicle has two modes: the lithium metal mode in the lithium ion load. When the vehicle is on the lithium ion mode, the vehicle would have a 300 kilometer range rather than the typical 400 kilometer range.
The reason why dawn believes this is groundbreaking is because, in a study of driving behaviors for EVs, the studies showed that only 1 % of daily trips are longer than 325 kilometers. On average, there for operating hybrid cells, most of the time in the lithium ion mode, enabling a range of dementia kilometers, while periodically using the lithium metal portion for long greater than 400 kilometer trips, as mimicked by this testing protocol, should be viable for most drivers. As of right now, many Tesla users drive around with a large battery pack that they only utilize every few months. Don's new battery would help minimize the range for these short commutes, while maximizing the range for the occasional long trips.
In fact, let's actually apply this to a real-life scenario, with the model 3 long range version. The long range model 3 currently has the capacity to drive 322 miles on one charge. If the hybrid battery was used in this vehicle, then it would be capable of having a 386 mile range in a 242 mile range on the lithium iron mode. In my opinion, this would be an extremely helpful feature.

My range is @400 miles and once I hit that, I can stop and fill up on gas in 5 minutes
I wonder if something similar could be work together with solar panels that receive more energy on one side and less on the other ?
Sounds like adding complexity. Why would you not use only the long range design for the battery?
Where are the resources mined, refined, and produced? Just curious… Not getting a warm and fuzzy feeling anymore!
The battery batters is on base waitting for that homerunof a bitch
This a downgrade, not an upgrade. I say fake news.
Certainly, increased mileage over the years is to be expected and is a good thing. But, for me, that's really a yawn. The real "wow" breakthrough moment is going to be when you can charge your ev to 75% in 5 mins… i.e. refuleing time is on par w/convential gas. when I'm low in battery and can pull in and "gas up" like a conventional gas, that will be the tipping point.
I think people need to stop presenting numbers for people's driving habits like they matter that much. I agree that most people don't drive very far daily, but that does not change what car people buy. Unless they can afford two cars the same driver they will always buy the one that gets them to their destination, so the one for 1% of the time. Most people cannot afford to have an EV and a long haul car. N
Now I have seen good quality videos showing the practicality of making long trips in a Tesla, and I don't think it was really that inconvenient to charge, but most people don't feel that way. So a 10 to 20% increase isn't going to make a lot of difference in attracting buyers. It will be nice for those already interested though. When the range is 1000KM or 600miles, people will really start changing their thinking about them (assuming they are about the same price). Or alternatively being to add a couple hundred to the range in just a few minutes.

What is happening on the hated " Federal & State Road TAXES " related to electric vehicles ?
Well let’s put it this way why don’t you just go ahead and give it to China because they’ll come over and steal it anyway no matter what you make if you don’t stop having these Chinese people move in with you Mr. you on musk they’re going to take everything you have and eventually they’ll start throwing Patton’s on him and then what are you gonna do because I don’t care if you have a patent on it if if they have one they’ll take you to court they’ll break you because the whole government is behind them I don’t think you have the whole government you may be rich but you don’t have the whole government behind you If you choose the right people in the government they may be behind you but there are so many of them that are so corrupt that they want trying to succeed and take everything from us they think it gives us cheaper good it does give us cheaper good because China doesn’t really care whether it’s good or bad for you so far we’ve had bad dog food we’ve had bad many other things and we continue down the same path we still want to be involved with them it’s still a communist country and we can’t break that no matter what we do or foolish to try
does this means Tesla will start building Motocycle ? right now the big issue is how heavy the batteries are… If this is solved it would be much easier to make nice electric motocycle
Only problem I see is the user knowing the correct mode. But hopefully software will show it clearly.
I sleep 3 hours a night the rest of my time has gone to my plans to fly. I am very determined, I've already did the e-bike thing. Now I want you hit the skies.i study a lot about a lot ,LOL! When I say fly I'm talking like those racing ones, there trying to race over water . Well I know ,maybe , that I need to stop buying the 18650's and jump on orders of graphene batteries. I think. Lighter and longer life and all, but main thing I need help with is finding a cheap source of the propellers and Motors and rotors and controller, if you can help me out thank you, if not oh well, I'm gettin' it slowly
Than you. Muh TSLA 1000c 6/19. Yuh. Gonna print bois.
That would put them miles ahead of their competitors… 😅
So how does this work?
If you charge wouldn't you also charge the range extender?
Meaning it will wear even if you dont directly use i.t
How do you activate this extender mode?
Electrodes dont have eyes they pick the easiest route
If only they still make the standard Li ion cells. I have no need for 25% more range. I'd rather have the better more stable performance battery with current range.
My favourite ice car is a Volkswagen Jetta turbo diesel pre-scandal that got approximately 1100kms per tank of diesel, that's the range I'm looking for Ev's. That would be exciting!
That's not really ground breaking imo, 500 to 600 mile range would be something. That's what I'm hoping for on battery day.
Hybrid? Tesla is gonna incorporate gasoline engines?
BUD… COOL DOWN, ELON DOES NOT GET WET OVER MONEY. HE IS ONLY REAL INTEREST IN COIN IS WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH IT. You really believe he cares more about the numbers appearing in an account. So please stop as if the nonsense of you going on and on about his coin. He is moved by making the world as it could have been. centuries ago. What you and others do not speak about is the tiny intelligence of Rothchild's. And his kind have done great destruction to the planet which matters more then the human race made into a virus because of them and their ways and values.
So just stop talking about the wealth which is no more then a needed tool in the tool box to get shit done. He needs to know 50 thousand is not to victims of the Rothchild banksters is not reachable. Without pain and hardship.
look into betavoltaic or dry cell Atomic batteries this is what I'm working on at the moment the main thing that's going to slow you down from testing is taking the proper safety protocols with the radioactive isotope I'm using americium 241 which has a half life of 432.2 years and then decays into neptunium-237 which has a half life of 2.14 million years so if I can get a decent power production out of the materials that I'm using which is two americium pellets out of an ionized smoke detector and 2 large fast diode transistors out of an old computer power supply. I decided to go with using transistors instead of making my own p&n Junction out of graphite and nickel plating as they are pre-built more Compact and run off of silicone-based Junctions which has a faster rectification rate equaling higher efficiency link all the outputs of both transistors in parallel. Which should leave you with three terminals the two outside injunction terminals with the p Junction terminal in the center then link all the n Junction terminals to one cable and the p Junction to its own cable and this should give you one Beta voltaic unit with four cells in parallel well I've got testing to do so I'll get back to it
So they are increasing the amount of Lithium in batteries? Great! I'll go increase my shares in Caterpillar, because Lithium mining is a growth business.
And how do they plan to adapt it to Tesla LR vehicles already in use? Or are we out of luck?
This is the kind of advance I want to learn about! To some this may seem like a tiny improvement, but it really isn’t. This is a big deal. This is more evidence of how fast technology is advancing.
When is this battery coming to the “Y” car?
A short term compromise, but not a long term solution. Needs to be simple … I can’t imagine having two modes on my iPhone. Becomes kludgy.
If the need for the hybrid extended range function can be accurately anticipated and the software have been written to respond to such prediction, making everything transparent and invisible to the driver. Than it might work. But accurate prediction requires specific user's data. i.e: calendar, Geo history , etc. Then the software will notice a pattern, a trigger and increase the charging capacity the night before the trip. So it can be done. One day, I will create an event for a trip to Lake George NY in my calendar, triggering my car to activate the extended range mode on the night previous. By the morning, my car will have the increased range for the trip.
I Will Just wait on the Solid State Batteries to come out ,that has a Million Mile range before that currant 2 hundred thousand mile $7000 battery will no longer take a charge
Our EV’s are utilized “non-COVID-19” environment about 6000 miles per month. My belief is as the world transitions from individually owned fossil fuel vehicles to electric the mobility of communities will shift to MaaS ( mobility as as service) in doing so the batteries will be utilized to go greater lengths/distances, at first, to service more riders between charges. Simply because the rate of charge is still not fast enough to most people’s liking. This is also why the “million” mile battery has huge implications for adaptation. A battery only gets so many charges and discharged until you begin to see battery degradation. I have already had to change out Two (12 hv) batteries in my 2019 model 3 used for commercial services in 9 months due to constant recharging…Tesla service explains due to constant usage… so if robotaxi’s do become a reality… the need for higher quality batteries are a must.
I dont think this is what tesla will be announcing at battery invester day. 25% range is not "i didnt think it was possible'' ''alien" its more of a 'pretty good' upgrade
very interesting I would totally buy that
You have awesome material. But dummy that I am, I just don't get the "take-away" here. What am I missing…??? Thx.
Energy density per kg which gives different ranges is NOT the only consideration when comparing different battery chemistries. It's not possible to make cooking understandable for someone who can't boil water by those who aren't chefs. This simple video breakdown leaves out 80-90% of other changes and performance variations that exist between different batteries. Very important are other factors that CHANGE with different chemistries are, Charging Speed, Number of lifetime Charge Cycles, Rate of Discharge, how temperature adversely effects these attributes and the batteries life themselves are all different when variations and explored. They are just as important to factor in as power densities. This video understandably ignore all those attributes which cannot be simply glossed over. If these different battery characteristics are ignore for the benefit of others performance tanks very quickly and negatively. Battery advances can't be had like designing new menu items at some fast food restaurant by simply changing the ingredients and have a successful better battery.
