Our Next Energy tests 1 210 Km battery pack in a Tesla Model S
A two-year-old Michigan startup, Our Next Energy (ONE), has built a custom battery pack that recently propelled a modified Tesla Model S for 752 miles (1 210 Km). John Voelcker, writing in Car and Driver, reports that ONE retrofitted the car with a pack that stores twice the energy of Tesla’s original, and fits in exactly the same space.
“We want to accelerate the adoption of EVs by eliminating range anxiety, which holds back consumers today,” said ONE founder and CEO Mujeeb Ijaz—a battery engineer whose 30 years of experience includes sojourns at Apple, A123 Systems and Ford.
ONE installed its 207.3 kWh pack in a Tesla Model S Long Range Plus. The vehicle’s original pack had a capacity of 103.9 kWh. ONE’s pack is far more energy-dense, but its efficiency (measured in miles per kWh) is roughly the same. That’s an even more impressive feat when you consider that Tesla’s vehicles are some of the most efficient EVs on the road.
