According to Reuters, Carlos Tavares, CEO of automaker Stellantis, said that in the next decade, the automobile industry must reduce the weight of electric car batteries by 50% in order to ensure the environmental significance of electric vehicles.

” I don’t think it makes sense.
According to Tang Weishi’s view, the automobile industry based on new science needs to make a “breakthrough” in battery power density.
“I think it’s happening.
In my opinion, in the next decade, we will be able to reduce the weight of the battery pack by 50%, thereby reducing the use of additional raw materials by 50%.
” Tang Weishi also stressed that this will also help solve the shortage of lithium resources.
On April 3, Stellantis held the second annual meeting of the Travel Freedom Forum.
The forum was organized after the group decided to withdraw from the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) at the end of 2022 to promote discussions with stakeholders on issues and trends in the travel sector and their impact on global warming.
During the forum, Tang Weishi also expressed his views on hydrogen energy.
Tang Weishi said that even if the energy used to produce hydrogen is clean, it does not think that hydrogen is a viable alternative to large-scale travel because the cost is “ridiculously high”.
“I think, for now, cost will be the main problem for hydrogen energy.
In the near future, it will (may) become a solution for large corporate fleets, but it is certainly not a solution for ordinary citizens.
