A study of 10,000 electric vehicle batteries clears fears of extensive battery wear:
Geotab concluded that #EV batteries could last 20 years or more at this degradation rate. If an EV #battery degrades at 1.8 per cent per year, it would still have over an 80 per cent state of health after 12 years – “generally beyond the usual life of a fleet vehicle.

#SolarUpdate time, a mini update mid Sept.

Image 1, shows the amount of imported energy from Mar-Sept 2023, and image 2, shows the amount of energy imported from Mar-Sept (17th Sept) in 2024.

To say that the expanded battery has transformed the system is an understatement.

In 2023, the most we used through the battery was 134kwh in Aug 2023... In March 2024, the lowest amount we've used was 139kwh. In Aug, we used 198kwh, an increase of over 50%

Million-mile battery.
For BUSES.

"The new #Tianxing #battery is designed specifically for buses and can last up to 1.5 million km (932,000 miles) and 15 years. CATL also said it has an “ultra-long warranty” of ten years or 1 million km (621,400 miles).

#CATL said it improved the energy density by 22% compared to the previous generation. With 175 Wh/kg, CATL claims its new Tianxing Bus battery leads the industry."

Swedish public television sent a reportage asking if we are in the midst of a green #bubble about to burst

#Northvolt, the #battery factory, has huge economic problems and could be in the bridge of bankruptcy

It is a problem of expectations: have they been too optimistic about solving difficult technical problems (that seems like they have not solved yet), and too unrealistic about how many electric cars will/can be sold?

Since it's a longer football Caturday Saturday, Shylo needed to be fully charged overnight. Due to many hours of standby / sleep mode, her eyes reveal she still has over 70% battery life left this evening! 🐈🔋

What a Tesla Powerwall virtual power plant event looks like from the inside. During a 2-hour demand response event last night in California, our batteries automatically pumped 11 kWh onto the grid. 5,018 homes participated, collectively sending 30.8 MW when I checked. Batteries are now recharging off solar.

Even though August wasn't a good month in terms of the weather. The solar generation was reasonable at 470kwh

We used 410kwh of that directly to the house or battery, and exported 60kwh. We imported about 45kwh from the grid.

The bill for the month after credit for the export, for gas, electric and all standing charges plus VAT was £34.10

#FOSS software in general, has proven to be far more #hardware & #environment friendly as in most cases, it requires less power/ #ram/ space/ energy to run efficiently. I'm currently running @LineageOS 20/ #Android 13 on a Xiaomi Mi A1 that has a 3080 mAh battery, a 4GB/64GB Ram/HDD & a #Qualcomm #Snapdragon 625 (14 nm - bad for power). Yet, I get a full day of #battery life and a smooth usage #experience. On a 2017 device.

#SolarUpdate

Halfway through the month and it's not been that great for solar.

Image 1, shows generation has been very up and down from one day to the next. But we've still managed to avg around 15kwh per day so far this month.

A far cry from the avg of 18-20khw per day for the previous 3 months.

But once again, it shows how better off we are with the expanded battery storage. As imported energy remains very low.

#Techbros don't save the world, boring #science does. The #EV and #renewable industry prices continue to drop like a rock with better #battery tech not because of any tech bro but because of government dumping a ton of money into the boring science and r&D like they do for #fossilfuels only less so.
