Chapter 839 Electric Pickup Truck
"This time I came to Longteng Forest, on the one hand, to see the progress here. On the other hand, I brought my family here to relax and experience life. At the same time, I also had a part-time job. Hey, these people really don't want me I'm free..."

Zhang Fan said with a smile to the camera, which made everyone laugh.

"But this job is still very interesting. The job is actually very simple, that is, the test driver. I don't know if you have noticed the car I drove before coming here."

Zhang Fan said mysteriously, which made everyone curious.

"Come on, let's go take a look at this car..."

Zhang Fan said with a smile, and then the camera turned.A car appeared in sight, and only then did everyone realize that the car was covered in camouflage.

"I'll go, pickup..."

"Is this a Tesla, an electric pickup?"

"This head is quite big, and it has something like a bird of prey..."

"Very powerful..."

"I really like pickups..."

Seeing this car, everyone immediately started talking.They didn't expect it to be an electric pickup.

"Yes, this is an electric pickup truck. The chassis adopts the KS chassis."

Zhang Fan said with a smile that Tesla's KS, a full-size hardcore SUV, has also been breaking news.It is planned to be officially launched by the end of next year.

And this pickup truck is equivalent to KS opening the back.However, it has been specially optimized to become such a functional pickup truck.

"This car is a test car, and the data is basically the same as that of KS. The car is nearly six meters long and about the same size as a Ford Raptor. It uses pure electric drive, electric four-wheel drive, four newly developed permanent magnet motors, and the largest It can burst out 650 horsepower, and the most important thing is that the maximum torque can burst out to 2000 Nm."

Zhang Fan started to introduce this car, and everyone swallowed when they heard the data.

With 650 horsepower and a maximum torque of [-] Nm, these data are really scary.

"According to different driving modes, there can be different power outputs. In this respect, the advantage of the electric motor is much stronger than that of the engine. So you can see that the more advanced ships are all driven by pure electric power."

Zhang Fan said seriously.Compared with gasoline engines, electric motors have great advantages.Because it is easier to adjust and relatively accurate.

Through the whole system, the torque can be adjusted, and the speed can also be adjusted.This intelligent adjustment has a whole system to make the conversion.

Especially on this car, the control system will be based on comprehensive reasons such as terrain and load capacity.Automatically adjust the situation of the car, so that the car can enter the best state at the fastest speed.

Although it is a pickup truck, it incorporates Tesla's most advanced technology.

"This pickup truck is currently the most technologically advanced car in our Tesla Group. It adopts a new permanent magnet motor, a new generation of electronic control system, and a new generation of intelligent driving system. If there is no accident, this car will be launched next year. At that time, it will also be equipped with the latest battery..."

Zhang Fan said mysteriously, his words made everyone's eyes light up.

"I'll go, right? The new battery..."

"Could it be a graphene battery..."

"If graphene is awesome..."

"The solid-state battery is also awesome..."

Seeing everyone's discussion, Zhang Fan smiled mysteriously.The new battery, the current Tesla team has made a breakthrough.

This breakthrough is not a graphene battery, but a solid-state lithium battery.Although graphene battery technology has made progress, it is still far from being practical. After all, graphene batteries are too heaven-defying.

However, solid-state lithium batteries have made great breakthroughs, compared with liquid lithium batteries.The new solid-state lithium batteries have many advantages.

The first point is lightness. The solid-state lithium battery uses an all-solid electrolyte. After using this electrolyte, the applicable material system of the lithium-ion battery will also change.

The core point is that it is not necessary to use lithium-intercalated graphite anode, but directly use metal lithium as the anode, which can significantly reduce the amount of anode material, so at the same density, the solid-state lithium battery is lighter.

The second point is thinness. In traditional lithium-ion batteries, separators and electrolytes are required, which together account for nearly 40% of the volume and 25% of the mass of the battery.Now it is replaced by a solid electrolyte, and the distance between the positive and negative electrodes can be shortened to only a few to a dozen microns, so that the thickness of the battery can be greatly reduced.In this way, the all-solid-state battery can be miniaturized and thin-film.In the future, maybe the battery is just a film.

The third point is flexibility. The flexibility of all-solid-state batteries will also be significantly improved after being light and thin. By using appropriate packaging materials, the fabricated batteries can withstand hundreds to thousands of times of bending without attenuating performance.

The fourth is safer. Lithium dendrites may appear when traditional lithium batteries work at high currents, which can puncture the diaphragm and cause short circuit damage.At the same time, the internal electrolyte is an organic liquid, which tends to intensify side reactions, oxidative decomposition, gas generation, and combustion at high temperatures.Using all-solid-state battery technology, these can be directly solved.

So all in all, the advantages of solid-state batteries are too obvious.At present, many companies are also researching solid-state battery technology, but the investment is relatively small.

But Tesla has invested a lot in this area, plus the technical materials exchanged by Zhang Fan and the people who have been poached with a lot of money.

Now solid-state batteries have made a big breakthrough.Although it is only an initial technological breakthrough, and it cannot achieve thin film and miniaturization, its advantages have already been shown.

Compared with the battery currently used by Tesla, the same volume battery pack.The weight of the solid-state lithium battery is reduced by 40.00%, and the energy is increased by 30.00%.

That's a horrendous boost, and it shows if a car uses a new solid-state battery.The weight of the vehicle will be greatly reduced, while the battery energy will be greatly increased.

The weight of the car is reduced, the power consumption is reduced, and the cruising range is naturally increased.

For example, in the current Tesla, take MODEL6 as an example, if the battery pack inside is replaced with a solid-state battery, the comprehensive cruising range will increase by about 40.00%.

Such an increase is terrible. The basic version of 700 kilometers can directly increase the cruising range of [-] kilometers, reaching [-] kilometers.

For the 700-kilometer version, the cruising range can basically reach 1000 kilometers.

This sky-defying data can completely throw away traditional fuel vehicles by a large margin.

It can even throw off other car companies by a large margin. This kind of battery technology is indeed too powerful.

However, in a short time, Tesla's models will not be equipped with this battery.Because compared to traditional battery packs, the cost of solid-state batteries is much, much higher.

A car company needs to consider costs.The reason why this battery will be the first to be installed on KS and pickup trucks in the future is because these are toys for the rich.

The full-size SUV KS is a giant, so the price is naturally high, and the R version is even higher.In the future, the new battery will only be installed on the R version, so it doesn't matter if the battery cost is higher, because the car earns more.
