Tesla announced that it will dramatically reduce the cost of its battery cells and packs — which means the company's new goal is a $25,000 electric car. The company's CEO Elon Musk said its new “tabless” battery cells, as well as by changing the materials inside the cell, will allow Tesla to “halve” the price per kilowatt-hour, which will make electric cars roughly the same price as combustion engine ones. The price per kilowatt-hour (kWh) is the unit of energy most commonly used to measure the capacity of the battery packs in modern electric vehicles. Those prices have been falling dramatically over the last decade, from $1,100/kWh in 2010 to $156/kWh in 2019, a drop of 87 percent. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
Tesla's Elon Musk plans to make some big announcements about batteries that could transform cars, electricity and the fight against climate change. Justin Rowlatt gets the inside scoop from Seth Weinbaum, journalist at the electric vehicles news-site Electrek. Meanwhile, battery chemist Paul Shearing of University College London explains how lithium-ion batteries made the smartphone possible, and are now set to revolutionise transport. But electrifying the world's one billion road vehicles is no small task, not to mention building even bigger batteries to stabilise renewable energy sources on our electricity grids. Where on earth will all the lithium come from? Justin speaks to another American tech entrepreneur who thinks he has the answer - Teague Egan of start-up EnergyX.

Special guest Peter Cohen (now our Senior "helping Mike avoid the quarterly financials report" Correspondent) and Cap'n Charles take apart the fiscal Q2 numbers from Apple, which are pretty far from terrible; pore over the renamed "Exposure Notification" as part of the fight against COVID-19, and ponder the (too soon?) planned re-opening of some Apple Stores and how this will be different Peter also cranks it up to 11 for a screed on the sordid state of non-casual Mac gaming, the crew swoon over some cool iPhone SE features and puzzle over a missing one, and somehow manage to track down an actual Apple Car for sale (at exactly the price you'd think it would cost you). It's a tricky time to be isolated in our little ship, cadets, but cover your ears: like Tesla's Elon Musk, Peter gets a little bit loud when he's on a hot topic!
