Tesla – A Million-mile Battery

Battery research revealed earlier this month and affiliated with Tesla could suggest that the company is well on its way to bringing a million-mile battery to market.

The work was presented by pioneering lithium-ion battery researcher Jeff Dahm, and focused on a new “single crystal nickel-metal hybrid (NMC)/artificial graphite” chemistry.

“We conclude that cells of this type should be able to power an electric vehicle for over 1.6 million kilometers (1 million miles) and last at least two decades in grid energy storage,” the paper’s authors outline.
