MIT: Tesla trucks may use battery black technology

SAN FRANCISCO, November 22 morning news, MIT Technology Review raised the question: Can the mystery of energy storage technology ease our concerns about the latest Elon Musk electric truck?

The main concern people have with Tesla trucks comes from the fact that most car lithium batteries start to decay after charging about 1,000 times, so the truck needs to be replaced after 500,000 miles. The problem is that truck batteries can be expensive $ 400,000), so the fuel savings can not be justified unless you can drive a million miles, and if you can not make that move Tesla truck sales will inevitably encounter resistance.

When Musk released the truck, he had said that the car could drive a million miles, but no one thought the statement applies to the battery, but now, media company Axios quoted informed sources as saying that the car's battery 2000 impulse discharge can be achieved, making this truck with a more cost-effective.

The specific implementation is another problem, Axios reported no practical answer.Another electric truck manufacturer Nikola Motor Company that Tesla truck battery may be similar to its home storage battery, not the car battery, therefore More durable.It is also possible to make some fundamental adjustments to the battery to extend its life.

It may not be until Musk gives us some substantive data before we know the answer behind it.
