  1. TESLA EV BATTERY TECHNOLOGY By: Arielle Solheim

  2. BACKGROUND • Founded by Elon Musk (Paypal), Martin Eberhard, Mark Tarpenning, JB Straubel, and Ian Wright • Tesla “Roadster” • Nikola Tesla • AC Propulsion T-Zero

  3. EV BATTERY TECHNOLOGY • Laptop batteries • Lithium-ion • Nickel Metal Hydride batteries normally used in hybrid cars • Battery has capacity of 56kWh—high density makes the battery last longer • Problem with Lithium-ion batteries • Battery pack heater

  4. THE ROADSTER: PRICES & MODELS • Starting price: $109,000 • The Roadster Sport price: $128,500 • 0 to 60 in 3.7 seconds • Driving range of 245 miles

  5. Motor Acceleration

  6. THE MODEL S • Starting price of $62,400 • Active air suspension • 0 to 60 in 5.4 seconds • Model S Performance goes 0 to 60 in 4.2 seconds

  7. FEATURES DOOR HANDLES • When not in use, the handles retract into the body. When you approach the car with the key, the handles slide out and unlatch TOUCH-SCREEN • 17” touch-screen dashboard with Wi-Fi • Tracks your efficiency on the screen so you can know how far you can go GLASS PANORAMIC ROOF • UV and infrared blocking safety glass windows • http://www.teslamotors.com/models/features

  8. BATTERY OPTIONS • http://www.teslamotors.com/models/options

  9. THE MODEL X • Crossover sport utility vehicle • 0-60 mph in under 5 seconds • Optional dual motor all-wheel drive • Deliveries will begin in 2014

  10. CHARGING • 3.5 hours from empty to full (using a high power wall connector at 240 volts and 70 amps) • Mobile Charging • High Power Charging

  11. How far can you go? How do you take a road trip? • A 60 kWh battery supplies 232 miles per charge • The largest battery supplies 300 miles per charge • PUBLIC STATION • J1772 Adapter
 • 240 VOLT OUTLET • Mobile Connector • SUPERCHARGER NETWORK

  12. ADVANTAGES • Efficiency • No more oil changes or smog checks • $7,500 Federal Tax Credit • Free parking • HOV lane access • Electricity sources: nuclear power, natural gas, hydroelectric, coal and oil • Gas has one primary source

  13. MITSUBISHI I-MIEV FORD FOCUS ELECTRIC CHEVY VOLT NISSAN LEAF

  14. DISADVANTAGES • Safety recalls • Time to recharge • Price

  15. SIGNIFICANCE OF TESLA MOTORS • Tesla Motors hasn’t been around for very long, but their EV battery technology is considered to be the best • Tesla helped advance alternative fuel technology
