Samsung confirms it made the batteries inside the world's longest-range EV Comments

Anonymous, 07 Aug 2025I wonder if this will stay the record or if the batteries will get even bigger for longer rang... moreOnce the result meet the appetite of user, that's about it.

It's not even a record when the driver was driving really slow to beat the EPA range....it would be a record if lucid can really achieve 700 miles in one charge by driving normally.

wong ndeso, 11 hours agobut, in smartphone realm, Samsung battery are just so so. I think they deliberately make smart... morePeople are not using their phones in a way that could prolong battery life, typically - from drops to overheating (forgot on the dash) to unnecessary topping-up during the day (driven by rampant anxieties). Samsung phones come with "battery care" software that can limit maximum charging, charging speeds and prevent deep discharges via endurance saving mode, but most of it is off by default. Should you use your phone with minimum care it will last long past the end of its software support, which Samsung promised to be 7 years. Most importantly though, a Samsung phone (and most smartphones for that matter) use LiCoO2 chemistry optimized for volumetric energy density, while electric vehicle battery from Samsung uses NMC chemistry that offers more balanced stats with regards to density, longevity and significantly better safety.

but, in smartphone realm, Samsung battery are just so so. I think they deliberately make smartphone battery that could only last for 2 years. after that, we should buy new samsung phone. that's their plan to outsold other phone companies.

700 miles? Not quite apples to apples. An ICE with high energy density (petrol), low efficiency experiences different range dynamics (speed, hills, wind, temperature) than an EV which has a high efficiency motor but low energy density battery.

I wonder if this will stay the record or if the batteries will get even bigger for longer range, because this is already longer range than most ICEs. In contrast to phones, where I support phones getting lighter instead of using unnecessarily big batteries, a big EV battery makes sense because it does not have to be held in a hand and if one does not return to a place with a charging possibility every evening, overnight charging is not always possible. And it also allows to keep the battery between 20 and 80 percent to increase longevity (again this does not make as much sense for phones because a battery replacement there costs $80 not several thousands, and when the battery is degraded enough that it is a problem, one can just use a battery case but with today‘s phone, the phone is often outdated before the battery actually becomes a problem, whereas a car just has to drive and it doesn’t matter if it uses old tech or not)
