A hot topic reported by Car Scoups
Equipped with SK On battery… “No reduction in range of motion”
The story of an American electric car driver who said that the battery remains in the same condition as when it was purchased even after 21 months of driving and 160,000 km became a hot topic.
According to Yonhap News on the 23rd, Car Scoops, an automotive media outlet, cited an article posted by a driver nicknamed “Helium” on the “F-150 Lightning Forum” with actual certification of the Ford F-150 Lightning assembly. the drivers did.
The driver said there was no reduction in mileage during the 2,500km trip from Missouri to Las Vegas due to variables such as weather or terrain.
He also shared his charging experience and said: “Usually I charge at home, but I don't charge up to 100 percent and manage that the battery level does not drop below 10 percent.”
In this regard, Kaskups said: “The condition of the battery is directly related to the condition of the engine” and “If the condition of the battery is not close to optimal, serious problems can occur.” He added that “maintaining 97% battery life even after 100,000 miles of driving could encourage the conversion to electric vehicles.”
It is known that it is a 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning car equipped with SK On battery. This isn't the first time the F-150 Lightning experience has become a hot topic locally.
Last year, news of a rock concert in Detroit that was powered only by an F-150 Lightning battery made headlines. At the time, the band was using an F-150 Lightning for all the power needed for a three-hour performance, including amplifiers, speakers, instruments and monitors, with a remaining battery capacity of 92% after the performance.
Earlier in late 2022, when more than 1 million homes and businesses across Canada lost power due to high winds and heavy snow, the story of an Ontario F-150 Lightning owner who stayed home with 44 hours of battery life. became a hot topic.
At the time, the owner of the car said on Reddit, an American community website. “There was a 44-hour power outage in southern Ontario, but the F-150 Lightning saved us,” adding: “It kept the fridge, freezer, Wi-Fi, TV, etc. running for almost two days, “(even after the power supply) 65 percent battery left,” he said.
The battery installed in the F-150 Lightning is NCM9, which was developed by SK On for the first time in the world in 2020, and is a high-performance high-nickel battery with a nickel content of about 90% nickel-cobalt. and the manga. It can travel up to 514 km on a single charge, and safety is enhanced by SK On's Z-folding technology, which wraps the separator inside the battery in a zigzag pattern.
It previously received awards for innovation in car entertainment and safety and interior technology at CES 2022, the world's largest consumer electronics and IT show, and at CES 2023, innovation in vehicle technology and advanced mobility was achieved with the NCM9+. , which increases driving range and shortens charging time. I also received an award.
