Electrical Engineer, Frank Boucher, just wrote an interesting and easy to understand technical article about Panasonic NCR18650B Cells.
He also explains why a EV battery pack will be good for much more than 500 cycles, but up to 40 000 cycles (by keeping the pack between 30% and 70% SOC).
That means that with a 85 kWh Model S, you could drive 100 miles per day per cycle and drive 4 000 000 MILES!!
I think we should keep it for reference for all those EV sceptics that think that the battery will be due for replacement after 2 years!
Ok, he kept it simple for the «mass» non technical reader. Your input about batteries physical characteristics would be appreciated.
