Its not just the fact that silicon offers longer range, but it can be charged withing 10 minutes at higher charging rates without any dendrite formations. This combination is the key. Because apart from the major challenge of sourcing sustainable electricity without damaging grid stability, the other problems that EV faces are small range and long refueling time. By achieving this combinations, silicon batteries can replicate the IC engine vehicle's range and refueling experience. Silicon batteries may not be the only future but they sure are here to stay and grow while benefiting EV industry.

Also the question of yrs or miles of useful battery life, and the cost of replacement is very important to consider even if one has a place to plug in at home. At this time I'd only opt for a gasoline electric hybrid until all these concerns are solved and the total cost of a car is within reason and very competitive w a ICE car.

The extra range is useful in cold and hot weather, or for towing. At 5 degrees F you will lose 54 percent of your range, at 20 degrees F you will lose 41 percent of your range. So, if you only have 100 miles with a new battery then you would only have a real range of 46 miles at 5 degrees F, and 59 miles of range at 20 degrees F. That is clearly not enough battery capacity for winter driving. Not as bad in the summer at 95 degrees F you will lose 17 percent of your range leaving you with 83 miles of range. Also you lose about 2 percent of range per year on the battery, so after 10 years you are down to 80 miles of range in ideal conditions. If your car had a 300 mile range, then after 10 years you would still have 240 miles of range available, so still useful, and of course your winter and summer driving are more feasible with much higher available range.

Nothing has happened in the real world? Batteries have dropped in price 10 times in the last 10 years, and energy density has increased by up to 100%. Not to mention the charging possibilities of up to 350 kW. The first Supercharger worked with up to 90 kW.

@@danielcarroll3358 Yeah bro you proved my point. Lithium Ion batteries got better but these breakthrough technologies that are talked about like every 2 years somehow dont get implemented in the real world. 50% maybe not but ICE also got more efficient over last years. Unfortunately though cars also got bigger and heavier cause thats more profitable for the manufactureres

Charge in 5 or 10 minutes? Do these people realize the strain on the power grid that would cause? Right now it's fine as it takes hours. But each time you halve the time you double the amps drawn. To charge a car in 5-10 minutes would require more amperage than most houses have service for.

Silicon anode batteries offer several advantages over traditional lithium-ion batteries, including higher energy density and longer cycle life. However, there are also some disadvantages associated with these batteries: Volume expansion: Silicon anodes can expand up to four times their original size during charging, which can cause mechanical stress and damage to the battery. This can lead to reduced cycle life and lower overall performance. Electrolyte breakdown: The high reactivity of silicon can cause the breakdown of the electrolyte, which is the liquid or gel substance that conducts ions between the cathode and anode in a battery. This can lead to reduced battery performance and safety issues. Cost: Silicon is more expensive than other materials commonly used in battery anodes, which can make silicon anode batteries more expensive to produce. Manufacturing challenges: The manufacturing process for silicon anode batteries is more complex than for traditional lithium-ion batteries, which can lead to production challenges and increased costs. Overall, while silicon anode batteries offer many advantages, they are still in the research and development phase, and further work is needed to overcome the associated disadvantages and bring them to commercial scale.

When communicating the benefits of this tech or that it would be helpful to offer some type of standardized matrix of battery parameters like ED, temperature performance, safety, recharge rate, cycle life, and COST. Often we hear "may" or "could" with rosy projections but this is always some shade of deception.

full self driving cars with a robo-taxi service will reduce the demand for cars while still delivering the same amount of people-miles each year. robotaxis, along with battery tech like this, will be a game changer because it could reduce the cost of a taxi service to well below the cost of driving an owned vehicle. it will make cities cleaner, safer, and more efficient. So you won't a hundred millions cars sold in the US each year anymore, you will only need maybe 1 million cars produced each year
