EV's and Indian Manufacturing: Prof. Ashok Jhunjhunwaala | Visit to IIT Madras

Plug In India

NMC batteries can store upto 300 Wh/kg, and 350 Wh/kg seems doable in the near future. LFP, in contrast, currently stores about 140 Wh/kg – with a theoretical storage upper ceiling of 160 Wh/kg. Axial flux motors do not require end winding conductors, so there is no overshooting outside the magnetic area.
