Solar energy storage company Yotta Energy was at Intersolar 2024 this year, and we connected with the team to talk about the company’s unique rooftop energy storage solution. The core of its technology is a compact sealed lithium iron phosphate (LFP) energy storage system that is designed not to need … [continued]
Car culture is killing the planet, but a new superfast charging LFP battery from CATL could help stop the carnage, so to speak.
USMC Base Camp Lejeune has become a national solar energy and energy storage showcase featuring new LFP battery technology.
LFP batteries will see higher demand as prices for nickel soar.
Tesla has stopped using traditional lithium ion battery cells in its Megapack grid scale battery storage systems and is using cheaper lithium iron phosphate cells instead.
Researchers at the UCSD say they have discovered a new, cost efficient process for restoring depleted LPF cathodes to full their full usefulness.
Initial supercharging results suggest that the new lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery powered Tesla Model 3 can supercharge even faster than the version with the nickel battery. This looks promising, and is not unexpected. China-based website 42HOW conducted a side-by-side test of the new LFP battery Tesla Model 3 and … [continued]
In this article, I go over the speculation on Tesla’s possibly overhyped Battery Day and tell you what to look for. If, after reading this, you want more battery news and analysis, I recommend our recent article on LPF batteries that Elon Musk commented on, this article on a new Tesla patent on a metal-air battery, and this article on lithium-ion capacity.
Tesla Battery Day is less than a week away. In my view, most Tesla commentary continues to overlook what is already known when it comes to predictions for what will be revealed on Tesla Battery Day.
Tesla’s second quarter earnings call just confirmed what may be the hottest technology topic for the electric vehicle revolution. Relatively inexpensive and abundant Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries are well suited to affordable mass market EVs, so long as they are energy efficient. This confirms that frequent concerns over battery mineral constraints (and fundamental cost barriers) for powering the EV transition can potentially be laid to rest.
