* Tesla got its start using the same lithium ion batteries that go into consumer electronics like laptops. During the early days of the Roadster, this proved a risky but calculated choice. Tesla wanted to tap into Asia’s mature battery suppliers and get access to cheap products that would keep improving over time. The press played up Tesla’s use of these types of batteries, and consumers were fascinated by the idea that a car could be powered by the same energy source sitting inside of their gizmos. There’s a major misconception that Tesla still depends on these types of batteries. Yes, the batteries inside the Model S look like those found in a laptop. Tesla, however, started developing its own battery chemistry in conjunction with partners like Panasonic dating back to late models of the Roadster. Tesla can still use the same manufacturing equipment as consumer electronics companies while ending up with a battery that’s safer and better tuned to the intense charging demands of its cars. Along with the secret formula for the battery cells themselves, Tesla has improved the performance of its batteries by developing its own techniques for linking the cells together and cooling them. The battery cells have been designed to vent heat in a very particular way, and there’s coolant running throughout the entire battery pack. The battery packs are assembled at the Tesla factory in an area hidden from visitors. The chemistry, the batteries, the battery pack design—these are all elements of a large, continuous system that Tesla has built from the ground up to allow its cars to charge at record speed. To control the heat produced during the charging process, Tesla has designed an interlinked system of radiators and chillers to cool both the batteries and the chargers. “You’ve got all that hardware plus the software management system and other controllers,” said J. B. Straubel. “All of these things are running at maximum rate.” A Model S can recharge 150 miles of range in 20 minutes at one of Tesla’s charging stations with DC power pumping straight into the batteries. By comparison, a Nissan Leaf that maxes out at 80 miles of range can take 8 hours to recharge.
