The new energy track scenery is unlimited, the cathode material of the power battery is also changing, and the lithium iron phosphate battery is the "most beautiful boy" on the market
In September last year, Musk released a dynamic about lithium iron phosphate batteries on social platforms, which instantly attracted the attention of the automotive circle, and even some media directly marked the article with such a title - "Musk: I prefer lithium iron phosphate batteries"!
edit
Musk's words and deeds do have a vane significance, Tesla officials also revealed that in the next few years, Tesla's lithium iron phosphate batteries will account for two-thirds of the proportion, with Tesla's demonstration and leading effect, opened the prelude to lithium iron phosphate batteries to the world.
Just after Tesla's voice fell, the world's second battery giant LG New Energy is also laying out the future of lithium iron phosphate batteries! More critically, Tesla electric vehicles recently disclosed that in their first quarterly production of vehicles, nearly half of the vehicles are equipped with lithium iron phosphate batteries, which is a lower cost than nickel-cobalt batteries that dominate the Western market, which is also the first time Tesla has disclosed the details of its battery composition!
edit
Previously, it was revealed that Tesla's Model 3/Y standard endurance version produced at its Fremont plant in California, USA, will use lithium iron phosphate batteries from China.
In addition to Tesla, apple, a tech giant that plans to launch electric cars in 2024, also revealed that it will use lithium iron phosphate batteries, saying that this is for safety reasons!
Compared with other batteries, lithium iron phosphate batteries have the advantages of low cost, high safety, good life, light weight and high mileage
edit
Especially in terms of the advantage of low cost, according to CITIC Securities, the Model 3 standard endurance upgrade produced by Tesla (Shanghai) Super Factory is equipped with lithium iron phosphate batteries, which can be reduced by about 0.5 million yuan per battery pack according to the cost savings of 0.10 yuan / Wh per battery pack
Tesla is not the only car manufacturer to see the potential of lithium iron phosphate batteries, which have previously become popular in the Chinese market!
According to the data, the proportion of domestic lithium iron phosphate batteries in the installed capacity of power batteries has increased from 38% in 2020 to 52% in 2021, and the installed capacity of lithium iron phosphate batteries has exceeded that of ternary batteries.
edit
In September, the output of lithium iron phosphate batteries was 13.5GWh, and the loading capacity was 9.5GWh, which was 1.4 times and 1.6 times that of ternary lithium batteries, respectively, and the power battery market showed a trend of lithium iron phosphate batteries replacing ternary lithium batteries.
Not only the Chinese market, but now this battery is making great strides towards the Western market, according to Reuters' review of the electric vehicle field and interviews with several participants, more than a dozen companies are currently considering building factories in the United States and Europe within three years to produce lithium iron phosphate batteries and related components!
This also means that lithium iron phosphate batteries with safer performance, lower cost and longer life are taking the world by storm
