Dr Euan McTurk, A deep-dive into emerging EV battery technologies | The Stop Burning Stuff Podcast

This podcast should be compulsory listening for mainstream media motoring journalists. Thanks a lot!

I have so much faith in LFP batteries not catching fire that I have installed them in my power wheelchair. As I'm living with quadriplegia, I can't exactly jump out if I ever had a problem. I'm literally trusting my life to them with full confidence. But, I made sure to choose a reputable brand from an established manufacture with an impeccable warranty. ♿️🇨🇦

Make this guy a regular!! Thank you very much for this pod cast. Great show!!

Omg. Bring this guy back again soon.

I loved how Euan McTurk has a massive knowledge of batteries and can explain this in a simple manor. An amazing guest.

Excellent 👌 stuff Rob, Quentin and Euan! Excellent source of info.

What a brilliant pod cast.

Dr McTurk is a fantastic communicator on a very technical topic.

Great episode guys! I'm typing this on a PC that is powered by the sun that fell on my roof earlier today, and that energy has been stored in some cells that originally drove a Gen! Leaf around for a few years until the owner carelessely wrote it off in a crash! That leaf was worth as much as the battery as it was as a working car.....

Hey guys, great talk! My take on batteries is that we really, really, really need affordable, home storage batteries. To cover my winter energy needs and go off grid, I need 40 kWh of storage The price that would disrupt our existing, corrupt electricity utility cartels would be $10,000 for that 40 kWh battery

IGNORE then MOCK then FEAR then ATTACK then ACCEPT then COPY……the stages that have to be gone through. Different legacy manufacturers are at different stages Powerful Fossil Fuel industry has an active policy of sticking between 3&4 and is funding the slow-down of the transition between the phases

Euan McTurk is brilliant. One can truly rely on his knowledge.

So refreshing to listen to someone who has a deep understanding of the subject matter and can clearly articulate the facts!

Most of the people who are expecting their EV battery to last 200,000 miles have never kept a gas car to that many miles. If you really do drive it that much you have already got your money's worth out of it and saved a LOT of money on maintenance, gas, and oil. So even if the car is not cost effective to repair you should just replace the entire car and your next EV will be cheaper and better because the technology is advancing faster than you replace your car.

Absolutely right with what they have been saying, I have a 24kw leaf and have done 150,000 miles and the battery has lost 1 bar off the battery display in the car, have done anything special and used the car as a car day in day out, and I do believe the battery pack will last longer than the car will, best move I could have made from an ICE car that died at 100,000 miles, a great podcast.

44min full of info. Worth every second. Awesome!

This podcast is full of really sensible information and should be applauded. Perhaps all those relevant journalists in the media be sent a copy inside an easter egg!

Dr. EUAN Thanks for a great podcast! I must, as a retired EE who has consulted on EV onboard level 2 chargers for Bosch Automotive America, take exception with two points: 1. Yes if done correctly module replacement to repair an EV battery is done correctly no safety issue should arise. Ideally the bad module should be replaced by one with the Same cell type in the same somewhat degraded state as in the remaining battery. And in the same state of charge. Why? Module voltage equalatization has its limits, and these vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. This is not always possible due to used module supplies, and indeed matching the condition is at best an educated guess even when swept frequency Z measurements, etc suggest module equality in condition. 2. Your suggestion that worn EV batteries should be used for private in home energy storage systems i fraught with Danger. A distressing number of these home made systems have led to fires and off gas explosion. It might be fine if ALL of the BMS systems including Thermal Management ie liquid cooling, pumps, heat exchangers are removed from the same or like model from which the old battery came. Unfortunately a quick search of eBay will reveal that All the support systems designed in by the ev manufacturer is seldom included with the battery, especially the Critical Cooling System. This can turn a safe EV battery into lithium time bomb. Please see StacheD Training for examples of these sad events. Respectfuly, David Pacholok CEC LLC [email protected]

A Brilliant Podcast I hope you bring Dr Euan Mc Turk back again for updates on battery technology in the future but one question I have on Electric vehicles is when trading in your car is depreciation how much Electric cars depreciate compared to a petrol or diesel car

What a brilliant presenter and presentation. This video is such a valuable resource to be able to counter the EV FUD commenters, and even some NZ centric info to take away for us EVers in the antipodes. Thank you 👍
