According to Bloomberg, Tesla has acquired the advanced energy storage company Maxwell Technologies for $218 Million. The move is a direct exit in Tesla’s current energy storage demands; instead.
The primary selling point of capacitors, both of the – or ultra- range, is the charge and discharge prices. Where a supercapacitor can be used to weld alloy simply by shorting the springs (don’t do that, incidentally ), battery technologies hasn’t yet caught up. It is possible to just charge batteries at a speed, and you can just release them at a rate that is specific. An ultracapacitor manufacturer’s acquisition opens the possibility of these powerhouses finding their way to vehicles.
Even though there is a only problem using super- and – ultra-capacitors — the sheer volume and that a module of ultracaps will maintain much less energy compared to the usual module of batteries of the identical size — the best guess is that Tesla won’t be substituting all their batteries caps at the short-term. Analysts feel that future Teslas may feature together with the principal energy storage in the car being the lithium battery modules a ‘ co-battery ’ of types, allowing for fast charging and discharging through a series of ultracapacitors. As slowing down a three thousand pound vehicle generates a good deal of electricity, this will be especially useful for braking, and Tesla’s current battery technology can’t soak it all up.
