If you follow Tesla, you're probably aware of Jeff Dahn and his team of researchers at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada. Dahn is the man responsible for the talk about a "million-mile" EV battery, which sounds fascinating, though perhaps not that out of reach. However, more recently, the team with ties to Tesla published a new paper about an energy-dense EV battery that could last 100 years.
According to Electrek, Tesla created the “Tesla Advanced Battery Research” division in 2016. The research group was put together as part of a partnership with esteemed battery expert Jeff Dahn. The researcher was one of the earliest experts to get heavily involved in Lithium-ion batteries. Dahn and his group have a primary goal to make batteries last longer, though increased energy density and decreased costs are also near the top of the list.
