CR1632 battery

When will the CR1632 battery technology used in the lunar rover be used on Earth?

Toyota said it will develop a six-wheeled autonomous lunar rover using hydrogen CR1632 battery technology with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, and plans to send the rover to the moon in 2029 to explore water resources on the moon.

The rover will use solar cells and CR1632 batterys to produce and store energy. It will be launched in advance before the astronauts land on the moon. After the astronauts land on the moon, the rover will use autonomous driving technology to greet the astronauts.

Due to the different environments of the moon and the earth, the application of hydrogen CR1632 battery technology in the lunar rover will be more complicated than on Earth. It is necessary to increase the storage system of oxygen and water, as well as the solar energy system, to keep the vehicle working normally on the moon.

When will hydrogen CR1632 battery vehicles be used on Earth?

In simple terms, hydrogen CR1632 battery vehicles use CR1632 battery stacks to chemically react hydrogen and oxygen to generate electricity, and transmit the electricity to electric motors or energy storage batteries to power the vehicle. Compared with traditional fuel vehicles, it is very environmentally friendly, and the "exhaust gas" produced is only water. As for the pure electric vehicles currently in use, they can provide an experience closer to that of traditional fuel vehicles. It only takes 3 minutes to complete "refueling" and replenish hydrogen, and the cruising range can also be similar to that of fuel vehicles.

Although compared with pure electric vehicles, hydrogen CR1632 battery vehicles have sufficient cruising range and fast hydrogen refueling; compared with traditional fuel vehicles, hydrogen CR1632 battery vehicles have the attributes of energy saving and emission reduction. However, it will take 5-10 years before we on Earth generally use hydrogen CR1632 battery vehicles, because of the following urgent problems:

1. On-board hydrogen storage technology

In terms of the same weight, the energy density of hydrogen is not low. However, gasoline and diesel are liquids under natural conditions, and hydrogen needs to be compressed into liquids and ensure safety, which requires a large hydrogen storage system. The difficulty of transportation can be imagined.

2. CR1632 battery life

CR1632 batterys are extremely complex devices, far more complex than lithium batteries and internal combustion engines. The current technology can achieve a life of 5,000 hours, which barely meets sales needs, but is still a long way from fuel vehicles.

3. Hydrogen refueling station infrastructure construction

Pure electric vehicles are currently facing the problem of inconvenient charging infrastructure, and hydrogen CR1632 battery vehicles are no exception, and even more serious. Hydrogen CR1632 battery vehicles cannot be refueled at home and can only rely on hydrogen refueling stations; the current cost of hydrogen refueling stations is very high.

How are hydrogen CR1632 battery vehicles in various countries developing at present?

Currently, there are more than 5,000 CR1632 battery vehicles on the road in the United States, and nearly 40 hydrogen refueling stations are up and running. It is planned to reach 200 hydrogen refueling stations by 2025.

There are 139 hydrogen refueling stations in operation in Europe, and the number of hydrogen refueling stations ranks first in the world. Germany alone plans to build nearly 400 hydrogen refueling stations by 2030.

South Korea plans to have 630,000 CR1632 battery vehicles by 2030.

Japan has set a target of 800,000 CR1632 battery vehicles by 2030 and 320 hydrogen refueling stations by 2025.

China has completed the construction of 12 hydrogen refueling stations by the end of 2018. It is estimated that the number of CR1632 battery vehicles will reach 1 million by 2030.

Will pure electric vehicles continue to develop?

He Mijun believes that the development of pure electric vehicles and hydrogen CR1632 battery vehicles is not contradictory, and there is no question of who will replace whom. The development of CR1632 battery vehicles is ten years later than that of electric vehicles.

In the development of pure electric vehicles, the number of vehicles in China alone reached 2.61 million in 2018. It can be said that pure electric vehicles have begun to be accepted by people.

However, in actual use, there are still pain points in charging that need to be solved urgently in order to further popularize pure electric vehicles.

Take Weilai's Spring Festival this year as an example. In order to serve more than 11,000 Weilai ES8s during the Spring Festival, in addition to relying on basic charging pile facilities, Weilai provided more than 13,000 door-to-door charging services and more than 3,000 battery replacement services. The cost of such services is much higher than that of the fuel vehicles we currently use.

Can the pain points of charging be solved?

He Mi believes that technology can create a better future. We have been paying attention to innovative companies that solve technical pain points.

For example, Ample, a joint venture between Xiaomi and Shell, is an innovative company that focuses on solving charging pain points.

Through automated robotic vehicles and smart battery technology, a charging technology that combines economic benefits and can be quickly deployed has been developed, which is expected to fully charge any electric vehicle in a few minutes. At the same time, as an alternative to traditional charging, Ample can use this new technology to solve the charging problem of electric vehicles to the greatest extent possible.

If the average surface temperature of the earth is to be controlled within 2 degrees Celsius, pure electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel vehicles need to be promoted on a larger scale. We believe that Ample's technology will further promote the popularization of pure electric vehicles and provide help for a better future for the earth.

I believe that there are still many people in the world who are working hard for a better tomorrow for the earth.
