Lithium-Ion Batteries: The Heart of Electric Vehicles
The Emergence of LFP Batteries
While Li-ion batteries dominate, lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries are gaining traction. LFP batteries are theoretically superior in several aspects: they have a longer lifespan, can be regularly charged to 100 percent without significant degradation, have a lower risk of thermal runaway, and are cheaper to produce. These advantages make LFP batteries particularly appealing for affordable EV models and applications requiring high safety standards, such as public transportation vehicles.
