It is well known that the weak point of an electric car is its battery, and as is well known by all, research is being done all over the world to get cheaper batteries that do not require special minerals (rare and expensive), and that offer a good level of energy for each kg of its weight.

That is very easy to say and very difficult to achieve, but that does not stop them from trying, and especially the largest battery manufacturers, to try to stay ahead of the business.

Every so often you read in the news information about new possible batteries, which are generally research and/or prototype manufacturing, and which need years to be capable of being mass-produced.

But that doesn't stop them from being interesting, and they tell us very clearly that in 5 or 10 years electric cars will use batteries that are different from the current ones, and will have much higher autonomy.

Today I comment on the case of the  Gotion Hight-Tech  que anuncia una batería de litio-manganeso-hierro-fosfato ( lithium manganese iron phosphate  LMFP ) llamada L600 Astroinno.

This new battery has a capacity of 240 W/Kg., with a life of 4000 cycles at room temperature, which is much higher than the average of current batteries in service. And according to the company, they hope to put it into series production in the year 2024.

This is one more of the many news that appears in the world of batteries, and I have to admit that it is good news, since they all point to the fact that in a few years we will have cheaper electric cars with greater autonomy.

Those of us who want to switch to an electric car can only wait a bit, not too much, with our old cars that still consume fossil fuels, to do so at a more appropriate time than today.

.

And meanwhile we will continue to keep ourselves informed of what is to come.
