The point Roger is the are NOT effected by lower temps. Just temps above
130F. Up here this is all the reason we need to change to them. The
first TEMP degrade point is at -14 F. NOT going to happen on this Coast
of the USA. Well not very often.
That we get 3x the range and 3x the stored energy just makes it even
better. And No Puekert.
Evercells won't make the MONDO amps that PbLA will, but that just means
higher pack volts and controllers that can live with 4:1 input to output
ratios. AKA 360v in at 300 amps and 1200a out at 96v.
The Zillas will do this, and quite well.
There is a market opening for more "Affordable" solutions. We also now
have high voltage chargers available, and they can even run off 120 VAC
and get the Job done.
This will be the growing trend In EVs. God I hope the Everecells get
here and are as good as we See in testing. Sheer!!! Get those MK3
working!!!
