In 2025 there will be several models of electric cars of 1,000 kilometers . This is the forecast of IDTechEx which, through its analysts, also talks about the right recipe to achieve this goal. And this is not a simple increase in the kWh of the batteries.
First of all, it should be specified that the 600-mile (1,000 km) electric car will not be; only embodied by the most vehicles; great facts for travel and families: this is a milestone that city cars will also reach , so & igrave; to reduce the need charging inside the city walls to dilute the load on the electricity grid .
By enabling mileage of a thousand kilometers, not only would it eliminate the autonomy anxiety that characterizes those who are accustomed to fossil fuel cars, but also opens the way to V2G, the possibility & agrave; to give/sell part of that enormous range (today the thousands of kilometers are made by a diesel E-Class plug-in hybrid) to the network to stabilize it during the charging peaks.
Finally, the thousand electric kilometers would allow to accelerate the spread both in those areas where the population is; spread over large areas or where the capillarity is widespread; of the rapid columns not & egrave; sufficient, both in the most & ugrave; crowded where overpopulation forces the inhabitants to give up their private garage.
SOFTWARE: PI? AUTONOMY WITH UPDATES
battery management software : perfecting it you can & agrave; get a 10% autonomy boost and the first evidence to support this thesis has already been found; supplied Tesla over the past few years, working with upgrades dedicated to the chemistry of the different batteries. An example is; represented by the Model 3 produced in China, but there & # 39; & egrave; still room for improvement.
Pu & ograve; sound strange, in fact, but in systems like this complex like electric car batteries, similar yet totally different from those we have been used to with consumer electronics, & egrave; balancing is the key, together with being able to make good use of the hardware part represented by active liquid cooling systems, the charger and the inverters.
REDUCING THE WEIGHT: THE OBVIOUS SOLUTION … OR NOT?
The cutting of complexity & egrave; the second key: once again, analysts are inspired by Tesla for their predictions, agreeing that the road to is correctreplace many of the components that the traditional auto industry is entrusted so far. Here the key is called die casting with the famous Giga Press.
Another frontier, always with a view to reducing complexity; and weight, & egrave; that of IME, acronym of In-Mold Electronics which provides for the integration of circuits in the parts printed with various techniques. The three-dimensional objects , even with a structural function, will integrate more and more; electronic circuits two-dimensional so & igrave; cables and connectors to be eliminated.
Reducing weight can seem the best solution obvious but, when we go to see how many electric & quot; new & quot; generation, we discover that producers remain anchored to well-established logics in the industry. Do you want why & eacute; some systems are designed with traditional cars in mind, either because & eacute; some solutions are outsourced, the result is; that modern cars like Mach-e alternate refinement in engineering with wastefulness: too long cables, an overabundance of screws and bolts and so on.
Shorten a cable, optimize component placement or integrate a circuit cooling can, by adding all the elements, play a fundamental role in gaining those kilometers of autonomy necessary to increase the mileage with a recharge.

If the former are to be taken as a reference for the penetration coefficient, the latter become an example of how to integrate photovoltaic panels into a light structure may be one of the keys to the future. Hyundai has started a first approach with IONIQ 5.
The & # 39; electric & quot; solar & quot; Lightyear also earns points for another solution, wheel motors which contribute towards the simplification referred to in the previous point, eliminating axles and differentials.
