Three Lightnings on our campus, and I have yet to see a Rivian in San Antonio.

This has worked perfectly on two different Lightnings.

I stand corrected! Just checked and AC Level 3 HAS been defined. You can't buy one, but it has been defined.

There are no Level 3 chargers available right now according to SAE. There are Level 1 and 2 AC chargers (what you normally find at your home) and Level 1 and 2 DC Fast Chargers. The requirements for Level 3 on each are still undefined.

SOC = State of Charge. The high the number, the more energy you have put into the battery. There is a setting for the truck to stop charging at a specific SOC. When you see 100%, you are at 100% SOC. I can't remember how to set this (and don't care to look it up right now), but I'm sure...

Some people on this forum will tell you this is fine and they've been driving EVs this way for 24 years and never saw a capacity loss. I've been testing Li-ion cells for 12 years and will tell you to charge every day...however, I do not recommend charging to 100% SOC (which will be about 94%...

I intentionally cause damage to OEM EV batteries through multiple methods (overheating a cell, puncturing cells, overcharging a pack, dropping a pack from height, submerging a pack, crushing a pack, etc.) for a living and I STILL bought an EV. As I tell tours to my lab, if the battery guy is...

Our battery will not be stationary ;)

I will be holding out for the GMC Sierra as the replacement for my Lightning.

There are two different SOC readings. Displayed and actual.

Yes, a three Mega Watt battery.

What, may I ask, leads you to this definitive statement? Do you not believe a battery could never be packaged in the frame that would yield this result, or do you truly believe that no battery could ever exceed 160 kWh? I ask because I am currently testing a 3 MWh battery we are designing for...

Yes. Five years? Maybe not, but it is not looking promising for anything to overtake Li-ion NMC as the best chemistry for the most energy-dense (and fun) chemistry. LFP may become more popular as a platform, but it will not have the umpf of NMC. Forget Si-ion and solid state as near-term...

:ROFLMAO: :rolleyes:

❌ Not based on the videos I've done over the last 12 years. LMO is the only chemistry that I have not seen go into a thermal runaway when punctured at 100% SOC ❌ All cells can be charged to 100%, but LFP Vmax is lower than NMC ✅ This is a true statement as long as you disregard the total...

Redwood is the third company in the US that is doing battery recycling. Several more in Europe.

Isn't Chelsea Manning still in prison for espionage? Must be another Chelsea ;)

As long as you are not going too high or too low in SOC, you can wait a short time before getting the fix. If the string is above the average, you risk overcharging the cells (you don't want to see the videos of me overcharging cells!), and if it is below the other strings, you risk...

With all the validation testing that goes into a new or redesigned pack, no.
