Jill Pestana is a California-based battery scientist and engineer who recently shared on X that she was researching electric vehicles because she intended to buy one.
What vehicle do you have currently, and why did you decide to research electric vehicles to purchase one?
Living in Santa Barbara, California, I go on monthly road trips for work and family visits to the Bay Area, San Diego, Yosemite area, and possibly further. Range and charge time as well as charger availability became considerations for me. Luckily, after doing research, battery degradation was not a big issue in the models that interested me. The models on the market for the most part manage the battery well.
I test drove Kia’s EV6 and Niro, Hyundai’s Ioniq 5 and 6 as well as Kona Electric, VW’s ID.4, and Tesla’s Model 3, S, and Y. I still have yet to test drive Ford’s Mach-E! I am 90% sure I’ll be getting a Model Y long-range, though I’m reluctant to select this one because it’s basic and I’ve never been a fan of Elon.I’m 90% sure about the Model Y long-range for several reasons. After test driving, I was very torn between the EV6 and Model Y.
I think some believe the risk of thermal runaway is high. Statistically, ICE cars catch fire more often than EVs. Also, there are fears around the battery losing capacity over time, but the data shows that battery capacity loss is often less than what is even predicted. Yes. One of the main goals in the near-term is to lower the cost of battery cells so that overall vehicle cost decreases. This requires establishing a sustainable supply chain of battery materials, improving manufacturing efficiencies, using lower-cost battery materials like LFP , and improving the energy density of cells. There are many new battery chemistries in development that aim to improve on existing cell technology.
