We will where we can pull out module benchmarking and some of the key design details. This will also get added as a benchmark database once we have enough data to share.
What parameters should we compare when benchmarking modules? We have a Module Database that can now be downloaded.
Audi
- 2024 Pouch Module – used in e-tron GT and Porsche Taycan now has a “flexible outer skin”.
Lucid
Lucid Air 21700 modules take a different approach to Tesla as they base cool the cells.
Nissan
The original 2010 Nissan Leaf module was similar to a sardine tin, 4 pouch cells arranged 2 in parallel and 2 in series (2p2s).
Passive cooling and a pop centre similar to a jam jar lid.
Tesla
VDA
There are a number of module sizes that are known in the battery industry as VDA standards, eg VDA355
