The technology swaps the graphite normally used on the negatively charged anodes of lithium-ion EV batteries for silicon.
As of 2021, the only other electric vehicle batteries that can be upgraded are in Nissan Leafs. EV Rides, a company in Portland, OR, offers battery swaps and upgrades for all years and trim levels of Leafs. For those who drive other types of EVs such as Hyundai Kona or Chevy Bolt, you can have the battery replaced, but not upgraded.
Significant developments in electric vehicle (EV) battery technology over time have opened the door to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation future. We see a dramatic breakthrough in EV battery technology in 2024, marked by creative designs, increased efficiency, and a strong dedication to sustainability.
The emphasis on creative designs in the most recent EV battery technology is one of its most notable aspects. In order to improve energy density, shorten charging times, and extend battery longevity, manufacturers are investigating novel topologies, such as solid-state batteries and graphene-based electrodes.
It is possible to make a hardware change on a Tesla, too. As of 2021, the only other electric vehicle batteries that can be upgraded are in Nissan Leafs. EV Rides, a company in Portland, OR, offers battery swaps and upgrades for all years and trim levels of Leafs.
No way. The reality is that batteries get a little better every year, a steady march that has already made EVs a reality and promises to take us to those major breakthroughs in due time. Let's dig deeper on those promises and the various other changes coming to an EV battery near you both sooner and later.
