    Second time EV buyers don't care as much about range because the range anxiety goes away. I'd trade some miles for the longer term reliability of LFP batteries and the fact I will be able to set my nightly charge to 100% instead of 80.

      Well said! Range aniexty goes away when you realize the way people use cars. Average daily range is less than 40 miles per day.
      Trips to the country etc are typically a few hours vacations are cheaper and faster taking a plane. Want scenic views ride a train! Worst case? I’ll rent a ICE.for that rare long auto trip.
      200 mile range is plenty for our needs.

      @@frenchydampier2209 I always rent a car when going more than say 5 hours away - I don't want to deal with something like a transmission failure hundreds of miles away, or a cut tire, or even a flat. I rent a car, and if and when I have a problem, they drop off another car. But even when I'm driving that long, we always stop every 2.5-3 hours for coffee, meals, tinkle, or just to stretch our legs and backs. During that short stop of say 20 minutes, it will add another three hours of range to the EV.

    You're on the wrong track. Mitra Chem hasn't stated anything about making their own cells. They are a cell component manufacture (at least cathodes), or that is apparently their plan.
    LG Energy are planning to make LFP cells in the U.S. LG Energy is building a battery/cell manufacturing complex in Arizona, and one of the products they plan to make is LFP Pouch cells.
    That doesn't necessarily mean that GM's supplier for cells for the Bolt EUV will be LG Energy in Arizona, but GM does have a strong connection with LG Energy.

    The perfect next-stage battery-packs will hopefully combine circa 85% CATL Shenxing LFP with 15% CATL sodium ion. Sodium ion cells are very low/high temperature tolerant(-40C to +60C) so that in sub-zero temperatures with mixed batt-packs the sodium ion cells could kick in and provide power for at least 5-10 miles until the LFP cells have warmed - or cooled down in extremely high ambient temperatures...

    It was reported that GM had a falling out with LG Chem over making LMFP batteries at their third battery plant. Looks like GM will partner with Mitra Chem instead. The problem is Mitra is a start up with no manufacturing experience, so GM will be making these batteries instead of LG Chem. Doesn’t make much sense to use the LMFP batteries in only the Bolt. Wonder if the Equinox EV 1LT will also get them as its MSRP is significantly lower than the higher Equinox EV trims. For me LMFP is a plus, not only cheaper but less resistant to starting itself on fire. They have less energy density but they have no problem being charged to 100%.

    Honestly, I think Toyota has it right, EV's are fine for many, but most people can neither afford them (even with rebates) and range/recharging is still an inconvenience some people can't overcome. I wish more manufacturer's took a pragmatic look into EV's and made more PHEV/hybrids models like Toyota. Chev (etc.) have really dropped the ball in not making hybrid options on their petrol engine vehicles which would still save consumers cost and still make a difference into easing new customers into EV tech. Looking at GM, where they not only killed off the production of cars and hybrids, going straight to EV kind of left them open to losing money to other brands that offer those models (hard to listen to GM cry when they made these choices). More innovation in ICE/Hybrid/PHEV models are still possible and needed for consumer introduction until EV's become interchangeable in price and convenience.

      then the problem of hybrids:
      why have two technologies when 1 is more efficient

    Whatever tech they use, they better hurry. Consumers are losing confidence in anything EV from GM. Delay after delay and shitty software issues is hard to ignore. Lastly, the price of their EVs is the same or higher than the competition. I think most will pass until they get things worked out and running smoothly.

    • @stevenlipps1176
      @stevenlipps1176 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      False if you believe what GM has said. Bolt EUV will be replaced with an updated car of the same name. But GM has historically failed to execute their plans. Time will tell.

    • @BarryObaminable

    10 million orders for a an EV would be demanded from the US public if they're was a model that would cost only 25,000 (total price including taxes and deliver) and the EV could
    eleminate the battery degradation limitation's, while also preserving a 200 mile range, but of course the EV would need to go from say 5% battery life to 100% battery life in
    6 hours or less on regular household Level 1 charging, with no need for consumers to learn or care about levelat home or level 3 charging or public charging station's like Tesla,
    when technology like the above does exist, the tipping point for worldwide EV adoption will have officially occured,

    The problem with all these legacy auto makers is they are more akin to a bureaucracy, like a government institution. They are not nimble and are heavily unionized so unable to quickly adapt. Always incentivized to play it safe. Their deep ties to the union and government is a recipe for mediocrity and low, rate per dollar hour output, churning out bland and toned down vehicles people are not “Excited” for.

    I think the best way to "beat" China is to team up with them on our terms and on our turf. That way, we make money off of what they create too...yet also provide employment here in the USA. In essence, we allow them to build and sell their buses, trains, ships, cars, whatever, but build these things with them right here, use our own materials and rare earths, save the shipping costs, construct new factories, and increase and streamline our manufacturing capabilities as well. They could profit from helping us while we also benefit. Cooperation would achieve greater world stability too. If China was profiting off of cooperative ventures and had a lot of their own people involved over here, they'd be less inclined to want to engage us in warfare. Same goes with Russia. Strong business partnerships are essential for happy relationships. However, our lackluster leaders prefer to duke it out daily, despite the risk of inflaming tensions further. Stupidity rules. And I understand Russia is no angel to their neighbors and China has no regard for any other ethnic groups, but talk and handshakes are cheaper than war. True diplomacy is what we're really lacking these days. Arrogance is bliss. 🤔

    Equity in the Bolt brand? GM had to recall every Bolt ever made because of its exploding batteries. They are grasping at straws with the Mitro investment. Mary Barra is just collecting a paycheck and completely uninterested in GM's future. CATL already has an LFMP battery in production. Wonder if they have a case for patent infringement against Mitra?

    GM has three of it's own battery cell manufacturing plants, including one partnered with LG that will come online in 2026. The others should be online now. Mitra Chem makes battery cathodes & chemistries, not batteries. Seems likely that they would supply GM's battery plants with a chemistry platform and cathodes and not actually be making batteries. BTW the reason GM has had problem producing enough batteries for their EVs is not cell production, it has been module assembly. They choose to use in house staff and an automation vendor who had never assembled modules at scale. There's good reason I think, to expect the 2025 Bolt EUV to have an LFP, LMFP or LFX (Mitra proprietary) battery made by GM in North America using Mitra's tech, configuration and materials.

  • @petertyckare3432
    @petertyckare3432 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    LFP batteries have a lower energy density, they cannot store as much charge as other electric car batteries. That is why they are only used in the entry-level Standard Range models. They also cannot be charged as quickly as NCA and NMC batteries, especially not in the cold.

    For most of Tuesday, Feb. 27 2024, Chicago looked and felt like summer: Apartment windows were pushed open to catch the warm breeze. Restaurants set up tables & chairs on sidewalks for al fresco lunch service, a rare sight in a Chicago February. The lakefront was teeming with runners, cyclists and couples strolling hand in hand. The city’s mild winter, on the heels of the warmest year on record in 2023, felt eerie & unpredictable. Temperatures are rising across the Midwest because of human-caused climate change, according to the 2023 National Climate Assessment, the government’s premier compilation of scientific knowledge on the effect of human-caused warming. Unseasonably high temperatures across the Great Plains, along with high winds, were / are propelling wildfires in Nebraska and Kansas, which were still a threat on Tuesday after forcing evacuations this week. Wildfires have been raging across the Texas Panhandle for days. Only 4.3% of the Great Lakes’ surface is ice-covered, well below the average. The unseasonably warm & dry winter has affected tourism in the region, especially in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, where industries that depend on snow have suffered.

    LFP battery, sub €25k, 200mls range, 100kW charging and build in the EU.
    And all the Tesla fanboys keep waiting on that sub $25k Tesla fantasy, that would be the first affordable sub $25k EV and on sale around 2021? . . . . . bla bla bla.
    The Renault R5 Etech will be the next 2024 EV around that €25k mark.

    GM authority is not a GM website. it's a website about GM. The phrasing implies that it's owned by GM.
