The Next Tesla New Car Can Be Sold As Cheap As A Gasoline Engine Car

[Kyla S]

Not long ago Tesla was rumored to have found a solution to the problem. The most expensive component of an electric car is the battery. This power source has an important role, which is to store energy to drive a vehicle.

The latest news says that Tesla and its Chinese partner company, Contemporary Amperex Technology Ltd. (CATL), have found a way to reduce the price of battery production. As reported by the Reuters news agency, Tesla and CATL have found a solution to the price of producing this battery and CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Elon Musk himself will announce it this year.

This battery is packaged more concisely and reduces weight and additional production costs. As a result, electric cars with batteries can have better mileage at lower selling prices. The first Tesla Model 3 launched in China will be the first car with this battery technology.

hope thats true as more ev is better but then the charging networks need to be massive

The charging network is mostly in our garages. One does not need superchargers everywhere, although they already are, nor does another one need other branded chargers that sit down behind the gas station. One simply needs to get an adapter for his car that allows him to plug into a 110 or 220 outlet. Even on 110 one can pick up 75 to 100 miles of charge for his EV.

As long as we pretend that we need a "massive" charging network we'll do a lot of waiting, when in reality it's already there.
