However, currently all of these are tied to a simple 12V on-board power supply. The car of today has to step-up from a simple 12 Volt on-board power supply to 42V or a proposed 48V power-net, in order to support all new systems and applications for enhanced performance, thereby demanding a massive investment across the entire ecosystem.

A new techno-economic analysis by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and MIT has found that economies of scale for manufacturing current Li-ion batteries for light-duty EV applications (in this case, prismatic pouch NMC333-G batteries and packs) are reached quickly at around 200-300 MWh annual production.

Founded by Mujeeb Ijaz in July of 2020, the Michigan-based company recently closed a $65-million funding round led by BMW i Ventures. Since the range-extender cells are only used occasionally and don’t need to supply high power, they have radically reduced requirements compared with conventional automotive cells.

In addition, using smaller batteries would allow more EVs to be built, and potentially relieve pressure on the battery supply chain. Ford’s cheapest F-150 Lightning Pro is now $57,869 compared to $41,769 a year ago due to what Ford says are “ongoing supply chain constraints, rising material costs and other market factors.”

The supply of metals like cobalt, copper, lithium, and nickel needed for batteries is already shaky , and soaring demand for the hundreds of millions of batteries in the coming decades is likely to trigger shortage and high prices. China processes about 80 percent of battery raw materials, creating a chokehold on global supplies.
