In practical terms, the new battery should enable a range of 600 kilometers with the same size, compared to the previous 400 kilometers – as is currently the case with the Tesla Model Y is currently the case. To achieve this, a mixture of lithium and metal is to be used instead of a lithium-graphite anode.
Production would be cheaper, the potential output would be significantly higher, but commercial use is not yet in sight. The reason for this is the highly reactive combination of an acidic electrolyte and the anode material.
Basically, various compounds are deposited on the anode, which gradually reduce the performance and service life. At Columbia University, New York City, these processes have been and will continue to be studied in detail.
