NCM, NCA, LFP, solid-state - EV battery chemistry explained

05 June 2022
We examine the battery chemistry tech of current and future EVs.

If not for fossil fuels, we would not have the standard of living that we have today.
(It can be argued that Rockefeller saved whales from extinction.)

Supply and demand will determine where the market goes next.

All batteries have to deal with collisions and potential damage to the battery. Tesla are making the batteries a structural component. If the structure is compromised in a crash a whole sale battery change will be expensive.

There's a couple of bits wrong there...

They keep posting this stuff as if they have no clue of the politics and control that the fossil fuel industry has. These battery breakthroughs never see the light of day and never will as long as petrol is in large supply.

Great article! Please give an option to enable dark mode/theme on this website as is available on gsmarena!

A Model 3 SR+ gets comparable range to an ICE car in its class and weighs about the same.
