Love your work, Sam. This is very exciting! Remember it's *watt hours* per kg though. I get a nervous twitch every time I hear "watt per kg"!

[Jawlf]

This is absolutely amazing news, if it is really being used in the trucks that would show how well they can work. Hope we see more information on the trucks, range and batteries. This would be a game changer.

[MichaelSmith-pxev]

500 Wh/k is mind blowing. The pace is crazy. Put these in trains, buses, massive semi trucks no issues. Domestic air travel is even possible now.

[rodents]

If it is legit...its a humanity changing innovation.

[vcapo]

Solid state has one huge advantage that will keep its development justified, it doesn’t explode or catch on fire. Pretty important if you want to put on an airplane where nowadays they limit even your laptop batteries.

[wss-sf]

Smart from CATL to give you personalised up-to-date information.

[booobtooober]

Incredible even if it only has 1000 cycle life
BUT 18, 000 cycles is revolutionary and unimaginably disruptive

[skywire]

Good 👍👍 ..CATL also notice your channel .

[Flickerbrain]

Amazing! Seems like every comment I write on watching your videos lately start with "Amazing" Things are moving so fast!!

[martinhovorka]

Fantastic channel, fantastic news. We are living in amazing times that will be described in the history books as the time of energy revolution similar to when hydrocarbons started to be used at massive scale. This is the time when one form of energy - fossil - will be replaced with electrical one.

[douglaswatt]

Sam please fix your units. It's kilowatt hours per kilo and again you have to distinguish between pack and cell level. No way that somebody is getting 500 watt hours per kilogram at the full pack level. That's probably a cell level figure, so you have to observe these two distinctions. Watts is power rate kilowatt hours is energy level and the distinction again between Pack level and cell level energy density.

Last but not least in terms of misleading claims if you put a hundred kilowatt hour battery into a Tesla Model 3 it would get 20% more range than the current vehicle if the battery weight was exactly the same. If it weighs significantly less, you might get 30 to 35% more range, but even that may be optimistic. That does not remotely translate into a thousand miles of range. Not even close. Please reIn in these wild speculative statements - they are actually hurting your Channel

[svka]

I can't wait for these batteries to trickle down to ebikes and scooters.

[johneehan]

Another advantage is benefit to the residents nearby the airport. The noise will is a friction of current noise level.

[hanswitvliet]

This kind of capacity is needed for semi trucks!

[ask_sigma]

Wow... you have direct email correspondence with CATL!... Cool! You're our inside man Sam!... because they know you're in the know... Now we know, they know... I'm amazed on how we can always count on you to deliver the goods first very often more than anyone else... Hats off to you, thanks for all your cutting edge insights... Where we get the news, hot of the press...

[adamdukat]

--- Sammy I do not blame You! I'm excited too! Love my Seal, and particularly if in the future it would be possible to squeeze some more electrons into it? As I need some more range in it. Maybe I won't see it in my lifetime, --- but my son will? I am listening to You regularly --- and I want to believe You. Greetings Sammy. All the best.

Not a 747 ! The image shown by CATL is that of a regional class turboprop, which typically carries 50 passengers or so.

WATT HOUR not WATT. CATN shown you numbers in Wh.

The condensed matter battery does have very high energy density, but it is also about 10x the cost of their regular lithium batteries (such as the Shenxing 2 LFP battery). That is why it is focused on aviation. If they are putting it in trucks then I'm guessing they are just demonstrators, not an actual commercially-deployed product for trucks.

4C charging means 1/4 of an hour from empty to full. 1C = 1 hour from empty to full. The C-rate only relates to "range" when you also take into account the size of the battery pack installed in the vehicle. No matter the size of the pack, 4C means the entire pack can be charged from empty to full in 1/4th of an hour (15 minutes), for a range of XYZ (size of pack x 3 to 4 -ish).

In terms of cell life. LFP cells basically don't die, they just lose capacity slowly over time. Current LFP cells are generally rated around 3000 cycles at 80% depth of discharge per cycle to 80% of original capacity (after the 3000th cycle the battery has 80% of its original capacity). In an EV LFP technologies today can hit 6000. So 18000 is not actually that much of a stretch.

However, even though the cells might not die, the power electronics connected to those cells certainly will. This is the true limiting factor for a LFP battery pack... the BMS and power electronics inside the sealed battery and not so much the cells themselves.

My loud, with deadly poisonous fumes, expensive to operate gasoline generators have been replaced by silent green energy LiFePo battery solar generators. My electric bill was replaced 20 years ago by green energy solar panels. My gasoline weed whackers have been replaced by battery powered weed whackers. My gasoline leaf blowers and lawn mower have been replaced by battery powered ones. My gasoline powered vehicles are being replaced by EVs. My battery powered bicycles are on order. Three obsolete expensive to operate and maintain gasoline powered vehicles and two jet skis are left to sell. RIP ICE.
