Most energy dense cobalt-free LFP batteries
Currently the most energy dense battery packs made with cobalt-free LFP (LiFePO4) cells in China are being used by electric buses.
Yutong electric buses powered by CATL’s LFP battery cells hold the current record with an impressive figure of 161,…
Tesla Model 3 cobalt-free LFP version details
While most automakers are still making excuses to delay the massification of electric cars, the Standard Range Plus version of the Tesla Model 3 made in China already has an extremely safe, durable, simple and cheap cobalt-free LFP battery from CATL an…
Battery cells with highest energy density in China
The first generation NCM 811 battery cells from CATL and SK Innovation are now on top of the list of the most energy dense cells used in China.
As for the second generation of NCM 811 batteries with silicon added to the graphite anode, they will arrive…
Comparison of two cobalt-free battery technologies
It’s no secret that the massification of electric cars requires batteries made with cheap raw materials, which means that they need to be cobalt free.
However, cobalt-free battery cells still don’t have great energy density, therefore reduc…
LG Chem started NCM 712 battery cells production last year
It’s no longer an educated guess on my part, we now have the confirmation that LG Chem started the trial production of NCM 712 battery cells at its plant in Poland last year. As for mass production it started early this year.
The new LGX E78 batt…
