Volkswagen Claims New Dry Battery Process Will Save Hundreds Of Dollars Per Car
We’ve said it many times, many ways. Battery technology is not a static thing. Hundreds of companies and laboratories around the world — including Oak Ridge National Laboratory — are searching high and low for the next battery technology that will lead to less expensive electric cars with longer range and faster charging. On that front, Volkswagen says it has come up with a new dry coating process that will allow it to lower the price of its electric cars by several hundred dollars.
The coating process is typically carried out with a semi-liquid paste produced from active materials that include conductive blacks and binders together with a solvent. The paste is then spread as a wet layer on the metal foil — usually copper. Enormous production lines with very long drying distances are needed for the solvent to evaporate afterwards.
