Ford To Build $3.5M LFP Battery Plant In Michigan via insideevs.com
Ford LFP and NMC Battery ComparisonMost electric vehicles today employ nickel cobalt manganese battery cells because they provide extremely high energy density. However, there are serious problems with the nickel and cobalt supply chain, including shortages as well as human rights and environmental issues. Therefore, more and more EV manufacturers are looking at other solutions for battery supply and LFP batteries are currently the most desirable option.
“We are committed to leading the electric vehicle revolution in America, and that means investing in the technology and jobs that will keep us on the cutting edge of this global transformation in our industry,” said Bill Ford, Ford executive chair. “I am also proud that wechose our home state of Michigan for this critical battery production hub.
Another issue with LFP batteries is they typically don't perform as well in cold climates as NCM batteries do. However, progress has been made in improving cold weather performance inFord's NCM pouch cells compared to their new LFP prismatic cells Since LFP batteries can regularly be charged to 100%, Ford won't have to recommend its customers charge to 85% on a daily basis, as they currently do. Therefore, the LFP-equipped vehicles could theoretically have a greater daily driving range if Ford manages to squeeze the same amount of kWh in the pack as they do for the NCM variants.
