MG 4 Electric, also known as Mulan in China, is a pure electric hatchback first unveiled in June 2022. It is being built on a next-gen vehicle platform, allowing MG to use bigger batteries while keeping the weight low. Thanks its lightweight body, MG Mulan can be able to run from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 sec. 
According to SAIC-owned MG, its latest EV will feature industry&#8217;s thinnest battery pack, with a height of only 110 millimeters (4.3-inches). This special battery uses vertically placed lithium-ion cells, to increase battery-level energy density further.
<h2>MG4 EV Launch Date</h2>
SAIC will start building MG4 EV / Mulan in the second half of 2022. Electric hatchback will first be delivered to Chinese customers. MG 4 Electric&#8217;s European launch is due in Q4 2022. There will be two options with two different battery packs, 51-kWh and 64-kWh respectively.

Audi, using NCM811 cathode cells produced by Chinese company Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) in Germany, states that the larger cell form facilitates battery production. Additionally, it emphasizes that the newly developed smart thermal management system enhances battery life by continuously conditioning the battery and reduces charging time.
Regarding the engine, the company claims a 50% increase in efficiency compared to the first-generation electric Audis and states that it can produce more power with smaller motors by increasing power density by 62%. It should be noted that the Q6 e-tron uses an asynchronous ASM motor at the front and a permanent magnet synchronous PSM motor at the rear, differentiating it from the electric #Macan.

HiPhi

🟢Announcing that it will convert diesel mining trucks to electric in 2021 together with #ABB, #Hitachi shared that the first vehicle has been produced.
⛏️The giant truck started to be used in a copper-gold mine in Zambia. It climbs with an electrical connection that feeds the battery, similar to a trolleybus, while going to pick up load. When turning downhill while loaded, it recharges its battery thanks to regenerative braking.
🔋In this way, ABB and Hitachi completed the transformation with a smaller one instead of a megawatt-hour battery. They made this possible thanks to the regenerative braking ability of the huge electric motors seen in the prototype photo.
🔌Mining truck&#8217;s previously had a giant internal combustion engine with 16 cylinders and 2,534 horsepower. It will relatively reduce the impact of mining on the environment by ending diesel consumption and zeroing out emissions after the conversion to electric.

Tesla

Yesterday, Reuters published an article about Tesla&#8217;s 4680 cells and how Elon Musk&#8217;s company is only halfway through making its special batteries into the mass-production. But the main point of this article is not the delay itself, it is why dry-coating battery electrode manufacturing process, which is the cause of this delay, is crucial to Tesla&#8217;s ultimate goal: producing cheaper, longer lifetime lithium-ion batteries.
Related Article: <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/lithium-ion-battery-cell-types-lfp-nmc-cells-explained" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lithium-Ion Battery Cell Types, LFP, NMC Explained</a>
Popular news outlet contacted a dozen of experts familiar with Tesla&#8217;s battery manufacturing efforts. Almost all of these experts confirmed that Tesla is struggling with the mass production of 4680 cells at its Kato Road facility in California. The reason for this is the new electrode manufacturing process called dry-coating/or DBE (Dry Battery Electrode). Tesla acquired this tech from Maxwell Technologies, a San Diego-based ultracapacitor company it bought in 2019. But implementing this new technology into mass production is not as easy as Elon Musk thought.
The good news is that Tesla will eventually enter high-volume production of its 4680 cells sometime in 2023. It will help Tesla halve the cost of <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/2021-tesla-model-y-performance" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Model Y</a>&#8216;s battery pack, saving almost $5,500 per vehicle. That&#8217;s 8 percent of a Model Y&#8217;s US retail price.
Using dry-coating tech will not only cut costs but also help EV-maker rapidly ramp up their battery production. According to research data mentioned by famous Youtuber <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iLZmz_IQt4&amp;ab_channel=TheLimitingFactor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Limited Factor</a>, dry-coating process will speed up cell production 7 times compared to conventional wet-coating methods. New tech will dramatically decrease initial battery production investment as well.
<h2>Dry-Coating Process Will Speed Up Electrification</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-15183 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Battery-MG4-Electric_1490387950a4-e1662559929366-1024x645.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="472" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Battery-MG4-Electric_1490387950a4-e1662559929366-1024x645.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Battery-MG4-Electric_1490387950a4-e1662559929366-300x189.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Battery-MG4-Electric_1490387950a4-e1662559929366-768x484.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Battery-MG4-Electric_1490387950a4-e1662559929366-1536x968.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Battery-MG4-Electric_1490387950a4-e1662559929366-2048x1291.jpg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Battery-MG4-Electric_1490387950a4-e1662559929366-1568x988.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
24M, a UK-based battery manufacturing company, is also betting high on dry-coating technology. According to a document issued by this company, using the new tech will help battery makers avoid spending approx. 22 hours in the electrode creation phase, and buying expensive tools for mixing the solvent with electrodes, vacuum drying, solvent recovery, etc.
Dry-coating is more environmental-friendly than any other electrode processing method available today. This method will allow companies to use up to 10 times less space for the battery plants, reduce their energy bills up to 10 times by not using huge vacuum dryers, and increase the energy density of cells without going through costly R&amp;D phases. Thanks to all those advantages, lithium-ion batteries will be cheaper, initial investments will be lower, and battery plants will be smaller.
Dry-coating will definitely be a tremendous advancement in the field of battery manufacturing. Cheaper batteries mean that electrification of the automotive industry will speed up quite a lot and average EV prices will hopefully go down.
Take a look at The Limiting Factor&#8217;s video for more scientific details regarding dry-coating process:
