Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cells do not require any nickel or cobalt, which can be expensive or hard to obtain.
. These include cells made with lithium iron phosphate chemistry for its standard-level vehicles, and high-nickel chemistry for its longer-range vehicles.
LFP battery cells do not require any nickel or cobalt, which can be expensive or hard to obtain. They are also generally considered more stable, but less energy-dense, than nickel cobalt aluminum oxide cells, which had been used byand other automakers in electric vehicles. While they can be fully discharged and charged without as much damage to the cell over time, LFP batteries do not generally deliver the same range as NCA and other types.
High-nickel chemistry batteries, meanwhile, are more energy dense, can be charged more quickly and deliver more miles per charge for a pack of the same or less weight made with these cells.after hours on Thursday that the company and its suppliers are facing a variety of constraints due to the Covid pandemic, Russia's invasion of Ukraine and their impacts on global supply chains.
Scaringe said that the first LFP cell is being sourced through a partner, which he did not name, but said that the company is"also developing in-house battery chemistries and battery production capabilities." Rivian Commercial Vehicles, such as the EDV-700 it developed for Amazon, should have"similar daily range capabilities with LFP chemistry, and this chemistry provides meaningful cost savings for us," Rivian wrote in its shareholder letter.
