Geotab - With a #degradation rate of just 1.8% per year, the vast majority of #EV #batteries will outlast the usable life of the vehicle ⚡️⚡️⚡️ #Geotab analysed the battery health of approximately 5,000 #electricvehicles (EVs), representing 1.5 million days of data Average #battery health has improved by 22% over the past five years (1.8% degradation in 2024 versus 2.3% in 2019) “EV batteries will never need to be replaced”; the findings bust one of the long-held myths around electric vehicles – that batteries are less reliable than their #ICE counterparts The best-performing EV models on sale today have battery degradation rates of just 1.0% annually; this number will only come down as battery technology improves High-use batteries do not show increased degradation rates, meaning that EVs offer better value the more they are driven #emobility #charging #aufladen #Elektromobilität

Zero-emission urban buses: who leads? Battery-electric buses reached 36% of new city bus sales in 2023 in the EU. They overtakook diesel as the main bus fuel type for the first time. At this growth rate, 100% of new EU city buses could already be zero-emission (ZE) by 2027. You can see in the graph new city bus sales in 2023. What is very sad is the hydrogen buses. Slovakia leads in %, but it’s just 4 hydrogen buses which started to test last year in Bratislava. Many countries understood the hydrogen in transport is nonsense and they cancelled the purchase. They are expensive and very expensive to operate and service. I hope they will take an example from Norway, Slovenia, Denmark or Netherlands. How about your country? Have you ever ridden in a BEV bus? Write me in comments. #emobility #chargingstation #ev #charginginfrastructure #electriccar

Looks like this unfolding competitive landscape will get us to net-zero targets much sooner than anticipated. The aim of replacing every #ICE with an #EV in a decade's time is a monumental opportunity and, I believe the pie is huge enough to feed every one in the ecosystem. Apart from the #EV, the #BESS sector is still to unfold; so far it's riding on the back of #EV sector. Having said that, once the market has reached a maturity point where the technology has become a plug-and-play, the competition will be solely around price; and, if the labour is the main cost-component, Europe wouldn't be able to compete with China or the developing world. Even if the Europe has woken up earlier with a long-term strategy in place, this moment was inevitable, I believe. If we focus on #Technology #Innovation rather than competing in volume manufacturing, we have a better chance to secure our position.

Ajotavalla on suuri merkitys sähköauton akkujen ikääntymiselle: "This paper presents a comprehensive review on electric vehicle (EV) battery technologies and an empirical analysis of degradation in Renault Zoe NMC batteries. The extensive review of 50 commercial EV models identifies the dominance of NMC and LFP batteries and changes in composition, such as the reduction of cobalt in NMC batteries. Specifically, the average capacity for NMC type batteries is 68.9 kWh, 62.4 kWh for LFP, and 104.6 kWh for NCA batteries. Simultaneously, we delve into degradation patterns of Renault Zoe models through non-invasive CANBUS measurements. This approach reveals the influence of usage patterns and calendar aging on NMC battery health. Our findings show significant variability in degradation among 2018 R90 models, indicating the critical role of driving behaviors in battery longevity. The study also notes a potential degradation stabilization in the older 2013 Q210 model. These insights contribute to advancing the understanding of battery health in EVs, supporting the development of more sustainable and efficient electric mobility solutions." #akkuteknologiat #akkukemiat #degradation #drivingbehavior https://lnkd.in/dKP2R6Xb

I see many posts that present automotive market data with very nice looking graphs and charts. I have to admit I sometimes do the same too. All those numbers; market share, growth, battery capacity, total ownership cost and charging times. I noticed this obsession with figures has increased especially after the launch of electric vehicles. Don't get me wrong, I love technology and using numbers to understand the market dynamics. But cars are not just about the most recent extended range news or how fast a battery charges. I see even the most passionate car people have trouble talking about new cars other than these "addictive" figures. Is it possible that we are loosing focus on what a good car is supposed to be? Do we have to choose between advanced technology and all the rest? Like desirability? Design and ergonomics? #cars #automotive #EV #elektrikliaraç
