Tesla Battery Day Validates Manganese For Use In EV Batteries
Tesla Battery Day Validates Manganese For
Use In EV Batteries
Montréal, Québec--(Newsfile Corp. - September 23, 2020) -
Manganese X Energy Corp. (TSXV:
MN) (FSE: 9SC2) (OTC PINK: MNXXF) ("Manganese"
or the
"Company")
confirms that
manganese received favorable mention from Elon Musk in his Tesla Battery Day presentation regarding
the future of electric vehicles and energy storage.
With Tesla's battery technology advancements and efficiency improvements, the new cell design will give
the company's vehicles a 16% increase in range and a 5x increase in energy. Battery chemistry for
higher-end vehicles will use nickel-manganese thanks to its increased energy density.
Tesla also ultimately wants to eliminate cobalt in the cathode, saying it will make batteries significantly
cheaper. This, along with the company's other innovations, will result in the reduction in the price per kw
for the batteries by 56%. Musk said this cheaper battery will enable the company to produce a $25,000
EV.
We must produce more EVs," Musk said. "They need to be affordable and [have] a lot more energy
storage, while building factories faster and with far less investment."
To highlight the importance of manganese in Tesla's battery strategy, we have provided a short video
link whereby Elon Musk calls for a cathode chemistry mixture of 1/3 manganese, 2/3
nickel:

Martin Kepman, CEO Manganese X comments, "it is gratifying to see Tesla using a high percentage of
manganese in their battery chemistry. We have been diligently pursuing our agenda to be a provider to
the EV battery space and have successfully produced 99.95% purity of Manganese Sulfate ("MnSO4")
which is EV compatible as confirmed in a report by Kemetco Research Inc. We will accelerate our
actions to move towards a PEA (preliminary economic assessment)
for our manganese mining resource
in New Brunswick which is in close proximity to the US border. Our ultimate goal is to be a provider of
battery material to the North American chain."
