So the cars will become cheaper right? Right?
Who said it’s cheaper for YOU?
I understand that was meant as sarcasm, but actually they have become cheaper, in the way that new cheap EV models are arriving with much better range than previous cheap models.
It’s just about LFP which are very common now. The new trend is sodium ion instead of lithium ion. CATL (battery manufacturer in China) is shipping those now, and they are starting to appear in some cars.
How’s the density compared to LFP?
I believe it’s notably worse. The focus seems to be more on industrial use cases with stationary batteries.
The savings arrived just in time to counteract the Trump Elon 100% EV tariff. So the cars will just stay the same price
Surely the savings will be passed to the consumers…
No the customers(ie the manufacturers) will get the savings. Consumers get to pay the same amount while being harvested as much data as possible
lFP batteries are not new. The BYD E6 had them since 2009
