According to overseas media reports, LG Energy Solution of LG Energy Solution, will start new NCMA tether lithium batteries to Tesla in July, and Tesla is also the world’s first electric vehicle that imports NCMA battery technology. Manufacturing brand.
The new NCMA tether lithium battery is on the original three materials, and aluminum (Al) is added, and the proportion of cobalt is greatly reduced; due to less yield of cobalt, high price, in recent years Big battery manufacturers are committed to reducing the proportion of cobalt, such as the field of lithium iron phosphate in China, is completely free of cobalt metal.
Although the cost of the LFP battery is low, it is not no disadvantage, for example, its energy density is low, so the power of the LFP battery can be stored under the same battery weight. Less, to maintain the same endurance, the battery weight is increased.
The advantage of NCMA batteries is to significantly reduce the use ratio of cobalt, thereby reducing the cost of manufacturing, while maintaining a good energy density, which is a new choice for electric vehicle manufacturers.
