Can Li-ion batteries become the new favorite for electric vehicle power? Can they really replace lead-acid batteries completely?

Can Li-ion battery become the new favorite of electric vehicle power? As the energy storage component of electric vehicles, lithium batteries are still the mainstream until there is a new technological breakthrough. Lithium battery manufacturers, with five major advantages such as light weight, small size and long service life of lithium batteries, are bound to see a big explosion. The development of new energy vehicles will enter the fast lane, and the market share of electric vehicles is expected to reach more than 90% as of 2030.

Can lithium batteries become the new favorite of electric vehicle power?

With the increasing efforts of environmental regulation and the rise of new energy vehicles around the world in recent years, the market for electric vehicles equipped with lithium batteries is growing rapidly and has the potential to replace them. In general, the production of lead-acid batteries and nickel-hydrogen batteries is gradually declining, while the production of lithium battery electric vehicles is trending better.

 

At present, there are more than 100 domestic lithium battery enterprises for electric bicycle, and there are still new brands entering continuously. This indicates that the lithium battery market for electric bicycles has been widely favored. At present, the 100 billion market of lithium battery for electric bicycle is accelerating to realize. in the first half of 2019, the shipment of lithium battery for electric bicycle in China has reached 4.55GWh.

 

Do lithium battery electric bicycle, due to the physical properties of lithium metal or lithium ion, the weight of lithium battery with the same capacity is only one-fifth of that of lead-acid battery (only in the case of existing technology, in the future, with the improvement of lithium safety technology, the weight will be lighter after the energy ratio is significantly improved), which gives the whole vehicle construction of lithium battery electric bicycle a greater design space.

 

At the same time, the charge and discharge times of lithium battery is 5-8 times of the same level of lead-acid batteries, and the life span can be more than 3 years, and the use cost is lower than that of lead-acid batteries. BYD and other excellent electric car lithium battery manufacturers, in the field of electric bicycles, to Tianneng, Chaowei, Star Heng and other brands also master lithium-ion battery manufacturing technology, making it possible to reduce the cost of lithium battery manufacturing, in addition, to break the monopoly of Samsung, Panasonic, LG and other brands of lithium batteries in the domestic electric vehicle market.

 

Lithium battery electric car in power performance, environmental protection, volume than lead-acid batteries are more in line with the new national standard, although lead-acid batteries still occupy a large market, but the future is certainly environmentally friendly power enough lithium battery more advantageous. Now there are already many companies are beginning to invest in the production of lithium battery research and development, of course, in the face of the market, favorable to everyone want to occupy the wind and the best dividend period.

 

Lithium batteries can really completely replace lead-acid batteries?

In recent years is not possible, for the following reasons.

1. Production technology limitations

Lead-acid batteries have been decades of development, technology has been quite mature, battery manufacturing costs have dropped significantly, a regular set of electric car gel lead-acid batteries just within 1000 yuan, so to speak, electric vehicles can be popular, and the development of lead-acid batteries is inseparable. And the technology of lithium battery manufacturers is still far from foreign standards, even so, to popularize, there is still a way to go.

 

2. Maintenance difficulties

Although lithium batteries are popular in the market by virtue of their long range, long life and high quality battery capacity characteristics. But the current technology does not guarantee that the battery will not fail during use. Once there is a problem, maintenance is extremely difficult, only the option of sending back to the manufacturer, back and forth consumption of time, which is the vast majority of consumers can not stand.

 

3. The price remains high

Lithium battery is a high power density battery, although it is relatively small, but the price is expensive, in terms of our common 48V10Ah battery specifications, the price of lithium battery pack is much higher than lead-acid batteries. Take the electric car selling price, lithium battery electric car than lead-acid battery electric car price is often higher than 1000 things.

 

In conclusion: lithium battery instead of lead-acid batteries to become electric car power energy is an inevitable trend, this new green electric car will become the new darling of the future market. Although the proportion of lithium is relatively low, but with the implementation of the new national standard, lithium electric car is destined to become an inevitable trend, a subversive change is inevitable.
