Why don’t we see a 1000 mi battery?

As an electric vehicle (EV) owner, or someone that’s looking to transition into the world of EVs, one of the most frequented topic of discussion is around the battery. How long does the battery last? What type of battery degradation can I expect? How do I best maintain my battery life? And of course, why don’t we see the magical unicorn of batteries – a 1000 mile battery?

Listen to the latest discussion on Talking Tesla Podcast (embedded below) where Mel and Tom share a fascinating interview with Dan Steingart, Assistant Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Princeton about battery infused body panels, nanotechnology, and what it might take to build a 1000 mile battery.
