Why Tesla’s New Nanotech Battery Will Be Worth Trillions

Elon Musk’s Tesla is not just famous for its electric cars. Tesla also has a huge interest in making innovative batteries to power its vehicles. Right now, most electric cars use lithium-ion batteries like the ones used in phones and laptops. The problem is these batteries take a lot of time to charge, and they don’t last very long.

Now, there’s a solution. Graphene, a nanomaterial that has lots of potential applications, can be used to enhance batteries. With graphene, lithium batteries can charge faster, store more energy, and last much longer.

So, is Tesla working on a nanotech-enhanced graphene battery? Find out in today’s video.

The Tesla Mafia: How Elon Musk’s Ex-Employees Are Becoming His Top Rivals | Forbes

PayPal is famous not just for its pioneering of electronic payments but also for its mafia—a group of successful alums who went on to start or fund companies ranging from Yelp and LinkedIn to Palantir and Affirm. Now Elon Musk, the gang’s most famous capo with his vast Tesla wealth, has spawned a newer mob that might one day rival the original. A string of former employees at the carmaker have gone on to form electric vehicle and battery companies, mostly in California. (Dozens of others have landed at EV companies like busmaker Proterra and truckmaker Rivian.) These ex-Tesla staffers are poised to have an outsize impact on the $6 trillion global auto industry in the decades to come.

Liquid Metal Batteries. Are they an economic possibility?

Liquid metal batteries are being hailed by some as the most transformative and revolutionary energy storage technology since John B. Goodenough came up with lithium ion batteries several decades ago. But the road from laboratory to full scale production has been a long and winding one, and commercial success is still by no means guaranteed. So, will liquid metal batteries change the world?

Why The Tesla Semi Is The Future of Trucks

The personal transportation industry has been shaken up over the past decade or so, with the introduction of electric cars proving to be more environmentally friendly, and importantly, cheaper to run, than their petrol or diesel counterparts. Bike manufacturers are also working on the transition in the motorcycle segment.

While this change has been taking place, trucking has been continuing unchanged in the background. Our food, household goods, and even electric car parts, have been transported by diesel power just like they have been from the start, while the industry has grown to be worth $700 billion in the US alone, more than many of the world’s countries’ GDPs.

With the huge weights involved, electrifying the trucking industry has taken a back seat due to the impracticality, but at the end of 2017, 3 years ago, Tesla announced plans to change this with the Semi, a fully electric truck designed to shake up the shipping industry.
