“Our Next Energy (ONE) successfully drove a Tesla Model S 752 miles (1,210km) on a single charge last month.

The Tesla Model S had one of the company’s retrofitted Gemini battery holding twice the energy of the standard battery, but fit within the same space.

Based in Michigan, ONE aims to make safer and more sustainable batteries. The test with the Tesla Model S was a proof of concept for the two-year-old company.

ONE intends to put the Gemini battery into production after 2023.

The original battery on the Model S had a capacity of 103.9 kilowatt-hours (kWh). However, the prototype ONE battery that replaced it had a total of 207.3kWh, according to a report by Car and Driver.

Making the results even more impressive, the drive took place in mid-December in winter temperatures.”

Funny.

But getting that sort of mileage at 20 mph is not the same as doing it at 70 mph.

Making the results even more impressive, the drive took place in mid-December in winter temperatures.​

​

The company drove for nearly 14 hours and averaged 55 mph. The total trip was 752.2 miles. Later, the company completed a control test on a dynamometer.​

​

The vehicle maintained a steady 55 mph and ran for 882 miles (1,419km) on a single charge.​

No matter how you wanna slice it, that kicks the shit out of just about ANY ICE vehicle

The issue here is going to be how long it takes to recharge that monster battery.

If you're adding electrons at the same rate as the stock battery, it's 2x as long; however, with that kind of range, you can really deal with longer charging times, because you can charge for 30-45 min while eating/etc
