There are no electronic protection devices directly in the series path of electric vehicle batteries.

The temperature is definitely taken into account in the control algorithms but if there is a fault, such as a cable short at the output of the battery the electronics can't help apart from disengaging the main contactor.

In Tesla vehicles there is also a pyrotechnic fuse to isolate the battery if the current gets to dangerous levels. In the higher performing versions that is set to 1500 Amps.

In addition to the battery level fusing there are individual fuses on each cell. One reason for that is that since there a 30 odd cells in parallel in each module there could be a big problem if one cell had a short. With the individual fuse that cell will isolate itself and the battery can still function, albeit with slightly reduced capacity. In the case of the Model S and Model X batteries the cell fuses are short pieces of wire that are used to connect to each cell.

Canada is a bit of a special case since some huge percentage of the people live within 100 miles or so of the US border. So it's mostly not really different from US driving and there are no Superchargers over 90% of the country. Where they do exist, they are typically not more than 100 miles apart. There has been no time when I can't drive 100 miles from one charger to the next.
> > > > > > >

The point is the battery wears faster at the higher end, so it's not a great idea to charge to 100% every time you charge. But if you needed to reach a destination, then by all means charge the battery up as high as needed. It's no different from stepping on the gas pedal in an ICE vehicle and dropping down a gear or two. That wears the motor faster, but unless you do it all the time, it is inconsequential.

I drove the same pickup for 20 years and hardly ever saw the mileage change more than ±5%. It is claimed you need to factor in rain, wind, even sunshine as it heats the road. I think that is all nonsense for 99.9% of driving. An airplane is moving much faster than a car. Wind resistance impacts mileage as the square of speed. So it's very different at 70 vs. 200 or 300 mph. The winds are also much stronger higher in the atmosphere.

Cars are not airplanes, which are designed for the speeds at which they fly: higher car speeds DO effect power consumption and Tesla's software factors that in.

Tesla batteries do this all the time.

Pulling current out of a cold battery warms it up more than pulling the same amount of current out of a warm battery, so more the of the stored energy is used up in warming the battery, but again, once you have warmed up the battery that problem goes away.

If you are using stored energy to warm the battery, as you just stated, this reduces range.

I don't know which bit of your undergraduate thermodynamics class you either misunderstood when you first heard, or now remembering incorrectly, but you've clearly got something very wrong - as usual - and won't ever be able to realise it.

Again, it is NOT a closed system - the car is exposed to an external climate that is pumping heat into and out of the battery.

They were notable for being particularly good for driving on cobbled
streets. And the idiosyncratic can't take the key out of the ignition
until the vehicle is put into reverse gear with the parking brake on.

Canada is a bit of a special case since some huge percentage of the people live within 100 miles or so of the US border. So it's mostly not really different from US driving and there are no Superchargers over 90% of the country. Where they do exist, they are typically not more than 100 miles apart. There has been no time when I can't drive 100 miles from one charger to the next.

The point is the battery wears faster at the higher end, so it's not a great idea to charge to 100% every time you charge. But if you needed to reach a destination, then by all means charge the battery up as high as needed. It's no different from stepping on the gas pedal in an ICE vehicle and dropping down a gear or two. That wears the motor faster, but unless you do it all the time, it is inconsequential.

I drove the same pickup for 20 years and hardly ever saw the mileage change more than ±5%. It is claimed you need to factor in rain, wind, even sunshine as it heats the road. I think that is all nonsense for 99.9% of driving. An airplane is moving much faster than a car. Wind resistance impacts mileage as the square of speed. So it's very different at 70 vs. 200 or 300 mph. The winds are also much stronger higher in the atmosphere.

Cars are not airplanes, which are designed for the speeds at which they fly: higher car speeds DO effect power consumption and Tesla's software factors that in.

You provided nothing to prove your claims. As I have said, that report talked about the chargers he stopped at, not the many chargers he passed. Do you understand that? So it says NOTHING about how close the chargers are together.

I've now explained this to you twice. Can you acknowledge what I've explained to you?

Stop embarrassing yourself by admitting you're a left wing thief. Robin Hood was not a good guy.

Bill likes to let people wind themselves up, but it's not terribly entertaining for me. I was just wondering what ridiculous arguments you might come up with and they are doozies! They don't take much effort to swat down though, so not really entertaining other than in an AFV way.

No tax is good. You spend your money on what you want to spend it on, not what others want.

I do not concern myself with your lies.

Likewise, you're not coming close to a human. An American maybe.

Why would you answer such a call? Your phone does display the caller ID right? Your phone allows you to block numbers right?

One reason for that is that since there a 30 odd cells in parallel in each module there could be a big problem if one cell had a short.

In the case of the Model S and Model X batteries the cell fuses are short pieces of wire that are used to connect to each cell.

When you buy an 18650 cell, you can get ones with built in electronic protection. If you charge or discharge too fast, or try to run it too low, it will shut off, but reset itself later. Why are these not used in cars?

Why are they needed? What problem are you trying to solve? Do you think this feature is free? Multiply by the thousands of cells in a car. That is why they aren't used.

The problem frequently in the news where people's houses catch fire due to a fault in a charger/torch/etc. Nickel batteries get very hot, Lithium ones explode in a fireball, setting everything around it alight. Liquid lithium at a few thousand degrees was once fired through someone's hands while typing on a laptop.

> Do you think this feature is free?

The cost only adds 10% to the battery approximately.

> Multiply by the thousands of cells in a car.

Still comes to 10%.

With the high current used during acceleration that would cause undesirable voltage drops as well as adding volume, cost and heat to the battery.

I seriously doubt there was any liquid lithium ejected from the burning battery. The lithium does not exist separately it is bound in the electrodes and there is less than a gram per 18650 cell.

The electrolyte is highly flammable and liquid or a paste that could cause burns.

10% of $10-20,000 is still $1000-2000. A significant amount when it doesn't add any significant value. It wouldn't protect against the thermal runaway issues that have occasionally affected lithium-ion batteries. There is already protection against over-current and failure in other parts of the system. That can more effectively be provided at the battery, rather than the cell level.

One reason for that is that since there a 30 odd cells in parallel in each module there could be a big problem if one cell had a short. With the individual fuse that cell will isolate itself and the battery can still function, albeit with slightly reduced capacity. In the case of the Model S and Model X batteries the cell fuses are short pieces of wire that are used to connect to each cell.

I thought you could get those with high current capabilities. Had a very quick look and found 25A unprotected and 15A protected. I'm sure there are others though.

Something hot and liquid came out.

Could have been it, the point is people get burnt and surrounding things catch fire. I've even seen a video of someone falling down some concrete stairs outdoors in an icy winter, with his mobile phone in his back pocket, which erupted. These batteries are a piece of shit.

My point is you don't get percentages. Changing a $1 item to $1.10 is the same as changing a $10,000 car to $11,000.

Why on earth not?

Until you crash and something shorts inbetween cells.

Looks like the protection they have now isn't sufficient: https://youtu.be/-jiH3mE81zw?t=104

Of course nobody is paying $15 per cell, or it would cost $100,000 for each Tesla. I would think that Tesla's cost of production is around $5 and protection circuit would be more like 30% to 40% in addition cost.

Unless it magically gets cheaper, Lithium batteries are not economically viable for a car. You either have shit range, or the car costs triple what a petrol one would.

For some of portions of the car market the price is already competitive and the other features are similar or better. For example the Tesla Model 3 vs a BMW 3 series - https://www.motor1.com/reviews/378302/bmw-3-series-tesla-model-3-comparison/.

Range is just not an issue for most drivers although it does take a different mindset from the traditional don't fill up until empty approach of conventional vehicles.

When the fuel cost is included electric cars competitive on price even with average cars like a Toyota Camry. The average new car cost in the US has risen to about $47,000. The cost of a base Tesla Model 3 is $46,990.

The absence of regular servicing is very convenient - I have had mine for just about 4 years and it hasn't been to the dealer once. Whereas my Prius has required 8 services in that time according to the manual.

The cost and energy requirement to manufacture the batteries continues to drop - it is below $100 per kWh now from many times that ten years ago.

A BMW is not a sensible car. Now please look at cars that cost what they're worth. The cheapest petrol car brand new and the cheapest electric car brand new that go a decent mileage (a few hundred miles), are £6K and £25K. Electric is a nice idea, but it's nowhere near ready for the public to use. Lithium Ion is not suitable for such a massive amount of power storage.

> Range is just not an issue for most drivers although it does take a different mindset from the traditional don't fill up until empty approach of conventional vehicles.

It's a problem for every single driver. Most people do not drive 2 miles to the post office. By the way that range drops like a stone as the battery ages. My petrol tank doesn't age.

> When the fuel cost is included electric cars competitive on price even with average cars like a Toyota Camry. The average new car cost in the US has risen to about $47,000. The cost of a base Tesla Model 3 is $46,990.

WTF are you doing paying $47K for a petrol car? I could buy 6 cars for that.

> The absence of regular servicing is very convenient - I have had mine for just about 4 years and it hasn't been to the dealer once. Whereas my Prius has required 8 services in that time according to the manual.

Ignore the manual. Take the car to the garage when it goes wrong.

> The cost and energy requirement to manufacture the batteries continues to drop - it is below $100 per kWh now from many times that ten years ago.

Then I will wait another 10 years.

I don't think the Tesla (50kWh) battery cost below $5000.

Nothing made by Tesla is a sensible price, I'm sure Musk is related to Jobs. It's the same Apple tactics.

Sorry, SNIPPERMAN, but you are not considering simple supply and demand economics; the price of lithium has skyrocketed with the large increase in demand:

And lithium mining is very environmentally unfriendly - when the tree huggers find this out their love affair with electric cars will wain. And, then, there is the issue of WHERE does the electricity come from? Much of it is by burning coal.

All of it actually. Since all the "green" juice is already being used, additional usage from more cars wil come from burning coal/oil/gas faster. So no change to the environment, apart from Lithium problems. So actually worse for the environment. Electric golf carts yes, electric cars don't be daft. Batteries are for phones and cordless drills and are wholly unsuitable for something that uses 100kW.
