Cause I didn't....that the batteries in a tesla are just hundreds (thousands?) of little batteries like in your laptop?
-
Yes.
The Nissan Leaf is the same; they're under the floor either side of what would be the transmission tunnel if it were RWD. You need a lot of 'laptop cells' to create 415v 3 phase power!
-
Yes and its the way they are arranged that gives them the power and range.
-
I hope they last longer than your average laptop battery then... :-\ ::) ;D

Only problem I see with milk floats is in 10 years when they need, new batteries, etc are they diy serviceable. And the cost? Me thinks not just be scrap. :) so much for being eco-green friendly

They might be obsolete by then anyway. The powers that be seem very taken by the idea of driverless cars. The main problem for them at the moment is probably slipping in legislation to prevent us from suing Microsoft or whoever, when the driverless car has a hissy fit ( or gets hacked) and wont stop when it should, or veers of the road and mows down a load of pedestrians.
It will take a clever spin doctor or three to brainwash the "drivers" of driverless cars that they will still be liable when their car goes wrong with dire results.
In 50 years time people will watch old footage of people actually driving their own cars, and be shocked at the level of freedom enjoyed by previous generations.
Im glad Im not a youngster tbh.

Driverless cars will use batteries surely?
With most electric cars you rent the batteries anyway, so it shouldn't be your problem when they fail. And after ten years, most cars are past their best anyway.
Except, of course, the excellent Vauxhall omega, these can last up to forty years.....or even longer. ;D
