The battery is the core component of an Electric Car, thus requiring substantial space and investment for research and development.
Simultaneously, the battery needs to store a large amount of electrical energy and ensure normal charging and discharging.
The type and performance of the battery have a crucial impact on the driving range, performance, and price of an Electric Car.
Most Xpeng Electric Car use lithium-ion batteries, which are also core components of electronic products such as smartphones and laptops.
When a lithium-ion battery is charging, lithium ions on the positive electrode material migrate to the negative electrode material through the electrolyte, releasing electrons. These electrons flow into the electric motor, driving the wheels.
When the vehicle is running, the negative electrode material absorbs lithium ions from the positive electrode material in the same way, while the electron flow reverses, flowing into the battery, thus forming the battery's reaction cycle.
