Batteries Video: (Tesla) Battery day is coming

Produced by Now you know

Why we recommend watching

Now you know is a youtube channel hosted by Zac & Jesse from the US. Strong enthusiasts for EV, and cleantech in general and Tesla in particular they are at their best when explaining complex tech in a way thats easy to follow.

This video gives their very well informed speculation on what battery day will bring. Its succeeds in covering “million mile batteries”, “vehicle to grid” , how battery production is about to become cheaper and better and virtual power-plants all in an interesting engaging way

caveat : this is an informed guess.. when battery day happens they may turn out to be right, half right or all wrong!

Here are some thoughts from a good BBC article also on what’s expected from Tesla battery day

I set up MyUrbanCar to provide advice about switching from fuel burning v to clean electric power especially in transport especially electric vehicles. I also use an air source heat pump which has also cut out fuel burning at home.

I spend a lot of time researching and absorbing information from a wide range of respected sources on issues like climate change, air pollution, battery technology and developments in electric vehicles from road to rail air and water.

MyUrbanCar now provides regularly updated guides on electric cars and UK EV charging so that more people can make good choices at the right price while avoiding a few lemons.

I have also had plenty of hands on myth busting experience. I have owned 3 EV's and tested them on many gruelling long distance EV road trips of up to 700 miles per day in the UK and Europe. These are often combined with my passion for hikes and exploring landscapes around the UK. At home I have had an air source heat pump since 2021.

I have worked as an underwriter at Lloyd's of London since the 1980's. My interest in technology goes back many years including interactive mapping, apps, green tech, boats, solar and cars.
