Question By: Ever wondered about the powerhouse behind a Tesla versus an ebike? Let's break it down! Tesla's pack some serious battery punch, with some models using Panasonic 1865 battery cells, the same type found in some e-bikes, albeit with slightly different internal chemistry. But here's the real kicker: how many cells are we talking about?
According to Insideevs.com, the 1865 cells have been rocking Tesla's Roadster, Model S, and Model X. Get ready for some numbers: the Roadster boasts a whopping 6,831 cells, while the Model S flaunts 7,104, and the Model X rolls with 7,256.
Now, for the ebike scoop: our Tahoe Fat Tire Cruiser, with a cool 35-mile range, sports 52 of those same-sized battery cells. Moving up a notch, Tesla's Model 3 and Model Y pack the 2170 cells, with the Model 3 Short Range clocking in at 2,976 cells, the Long Range at 4,416, and the Model Y at 4,680.
