Push Electric Vehicles
Today the giant Chinese battery cell maker CATL revealed its first generation sodium-ion battery and it’s better than I expected. Let’s see some highlights of the press release. Based on a series...
Tomorrow the giant Chinese battery cell maker CATL will finally reveal its first sodium-ion battery (SIB). SIBs are potentially much cheaper to produce than lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Nonetheless, initially, with small-scale production the...
Sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) are coming with potential to revolutionize grid energy storage and indirectly help EVs in a big way. Let’s see how! Recently CATL announced that it’ll begin to produce NIBs in...
Another push for safe cobalt-free batteries.
This might be an opportunity for CATL to start pushing its cobalt-free LFP (LiFePO4) battery cells.
Currently the most energy dense battery packs made with cobalt-free LFP (LiFePO4) cells in China are being used by electric buses.
Tesla Model 3 made in China has an extremely safe, durable, simple and cheap cobalt-free LFP battery from CATL and an impressive profit margin of 35 %.
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.
This destroys automakers’ narrative against electric cars.
LG Chem is now on top, partly thanks to Tesla’s strong sales in China.
