I'm trying to understand the difference between the Tesla batteries and everybody else. What I do know is the on a per KWh basis the Tesla batteries are cheaper and lighter. For the sake of discussion I understand the cost: The Tesla battery 85KWh costs about $10,000 or $120 per KWh. The Volt battery costs about $5,000 or 6,000 for a 24KWh battery or $230 per KWh
Like wise with the weight: The Tesla Battery weighs 1,000 lbs for 85KWhs or 11.75lb per KWh The Volt battery weight is 650 lbs for 24KWh or 25lbs per KWh The difference is ... enormous. Why aren't all the EVs (compliance and serious - Leaf) following this same path? Thanks for helping me 'get' this. -- View this message in context: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/Batteries-Tesla-vs-everybody-else-tp4668904.html Sent from the Electric Vehicle Discussion List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
