EV Batteries & Technology

Electric Vehicle Batteries

Electric vehicles use batteries to power the electric motor, which drives the vehicle. A manufacturer can either use a Lithium-ion battery, a Lead-acid battery, or an Ultracapacitor battery. It depends on the model type, cost, and specifications of the vehicle.

Nickel (Ni)

Two of the most commonly used types of batteries, Nickel Cobalt Aluminum (NCA) and Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) use 80% and 33% nickel respectively; newer formulations of NMC are also approaching 80% nickel. Most Li-ion batteries now rely on nickel. Li-ion batteries were incorporated into the next generation of electric cars, as their superior power density became critical for moving vehicles over long distances.

Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄)

General Characteristics and specification

• Enhanced Olivine*structure (excellent thermal 500° C and structural stability)
• Lower raw material cost (using iron and phosphorus)
• Safer, non-toxic material (safe for human and environment)
• Longer cycle life(2,000-7,000) (until battery capacity lowers to 80% of original
• Higher current and peak power (electric vehicle application)
• Slower rate of capacity loss (10 years, suitable for E.S.S*application)
• Steady, constant discharge voltage (star at 3.4V and ends at 3.35 V)

Lithium-ion batteries

A Lithium-ion or Li-ion battery is a is a type of rechargeable batteries which uses the reversible reduction of lithium ion to store energy. It is the predominant battery type used in portable consumer electronics and Electric vehicle. It also sees significant use for grid-scale energy stronger and military and aerospace applications. Compared to other rechargeable battery technologies, Li-ion batteries have high energy densities, low self-discharge, and no memory effect (although a small memory effect reported in LFP cell has been traced to poorly made cells.

These are the most common type of EV batteries and are also found in consumer electronic items like smartphones, tablets, and laptops.

Existing transmissions are too large and have a complex structure, so they can’t be used for all machines equipped with electric motors. They have been used only for gasoline or diesel internal combustion engine vehicles.

※ Proved that superior driving performance compared to existing vehicles.

※ No problem even in applying high power motors of 200 horsepower due to robust structure transmission.
