LFP Battery: Future of Electric Vehicle
The battery manufacturing technology is rapidly evolving by the day to offer the features required to facilitate the shift to a more sustainable way of storing and using power. In this process of the development of new technologies, Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) is the one that is gaining popularity among consumers today. Recently, Tesla changed its battery chemistry and made a shift to LFP battery with an aim to increase vehicles efficiency and make them cheaper.
Roughly speaking, affordable lithium-ion batteries typically have between 500 and 3000 life cycles. While premium Lithium Iron Phosphate LFP batteries can last anywhere from 3500 to over 4000 cycles.
LFP batteries are manufactured by using lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) as the cathode material and a graphite carbon electr...
