PPT comes true, Tesla shows 4680 battery production line, mileage increased by 16%

Recently, Tesla officially released a video showing the long-awaited 4680 new battery production line. In response, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that since Tesla's battery production line is inspired by the mass production industry, Tesla will "produce complete electric vehicles in the same way as toy cars" in the future.

It is understood that as early as the "Battery Day" in September 2020, Elon Musk demonstrated the new 4680 battery through PPT. Compared with the previous generation, the battery has a capacity increased by 5 times and a power increased by 6 times, which will increase the range of Tesla cars by 16%.

In fact, as the new energy vehicle market continues to improve, the contradiction between the dilemma of range anxiety and the leapfrog development of new energy vehicles is becoming increasingly acute. Therefore, in addition to Tesla, the current leading new energy vehicle companies are also stepping up their layout of cutting-edge battery technology.

For example, at the "2020 NIO Day", NIO released a 150kWh solid-state battery that can extend the range of the NIO ET7 to over 1,000 kilometers. Coincidentally, GAC Aion also released a graphene-based super-fast charging battery that can charge 80% of its power in 8 minutes.

However, it is worth noting that although the leading new energy vehicle companies have released new battery technologies with great gimmicks, these battery technologies will take several years to debut. In this regard, Ouyang Minggao, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and vice chairman of the China Electric Vehicle 100 Association, said: "If someone says that it can run 1,000 km, can be fully charged in a few minutes, is extremely safe, and has a very low cost, don't believe it, because this is impossible at present."

Considering that Tesla's new 4680 battery has started trial production and the range is not "ridiculously high", Tesla's new 4680 battery may be put into the market faster than other new car-making forces.
