🟢Announcing that it will convert diesel mining trucks to electric in 2021 together with #ABB, #Hitachi shared that the first vehicle has been produced.
⛏️The giant truck started to be used in a copper-gold mine in Zambia. It climbs with an electrical connection that feeds the battery, similar to a trolleybus, while going to pick up load. When turning downhill while loaded, it recharges its battery thanks to regenerative braking.
🔋In this way, ABB and Hitachi completed the transformation with a smaller one instead of a megawatt-hour battery. They made this possible thanks to the regenerative braking ability of the huge electric motors seen in the prototype photo.
🔌Mining truck&#8217;s previously had a giant internal combustion engine with 16 cylinders and 2,534 horsepower. It will relatively reduce the impact of mining on the environment by ending diesel consumption and zeroing out emissions after the conversion to electric.

🏭 Having given up on the giant battery factory it will establish in Turkey together with Koç Holding #kchol and Ford, SK On is preparing for more cost-effective LFP battery production than existing NMC solutions.
✅The LFP battery provides a 20% cost advantage compared to NMC cathode batteries. It has very critical features for electric vehicles, such as being much longer lasting, not containing materials that may cause supply problems such as cobalt, and not exploding even if punctured.
⚡ South Korean SK On says it is currently conducting supply negotiations with automobile manufacturers. The company plans to start mass production in 2026-27. It is expected to invest in a facility in Europe or China for production.
🟢SK On has also factories in the USA, China, South Korea and Hungary. The company would produce NMC cells in Turkey. The introduction of the LFP battery as an attractive alternative by Chinese companies, especially CATL and BYD, pushes Korean manufacturers to invest in this technology. LG and Samsung previously announced that they would start LFP production in 2026.

Ford

The expected change took place in the battery cell factory to be established in Turkey by the American automotive giant Ford and its business partner Koç Holding. Announced in March 2022 with the partnership of South Korean SK On, the production facility gained a new partner after this technology supplier withdrew from the partnership.
Ford Motor Company published a statement on its official website on the subject. It announced that it has signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding with LG Energy Solution for the lithium-ion battery cell production facility. The plant will take place in Ankara Başkent OSB. The facility will shortly resume its formal construction with the Korean corporate partner.
LG is the second-largest lithium-ion battery manufacturer in the world which previously made battery factory investments in the USA with Ford. The company plans to start the production of more affordable LFP cells soon. Additionally, the company also produces high-energy density battery cells with NMC and NCA cathodes. Cell types will be available in the facility in three years.
<h2>First Phase in 2026, Second Phase in 2029</h2>
The first phase of the factory investment will be completed in 2026. According to Ford&#8217;s statement, the annual battery cell production capacity in the first phase will be 25 GWh. With the commissioning of the second phase in 2029, the total capacity of the Ford-LG-Koç joint plant will reach 45 GWh.
Just like Ford, Koç Holding has been collaborating with LG for a long time. In three years, Koç-Ford Otosan will be able to cease importing cells and build entirely domestic battery packs. The company uses cells from LG&#8217;s 70 GWh facility in Poland for E-Transit.
LG has been producing battery cells in a total of six countries. It includes the USA, South Korea, China, Poland, Indonesia, and Canada. The company will add Turkey to its portfolio as the seventh country. The battery giant has a total production capacity of around 200 GWh as of the end of 2022. The company wants to continue to be among the largest in the world in its field. They target to have a capacity of 300 GWh and 520 GWh by the end of  2023 and 2025 respectively.

Giga Nevada is capable of producing 35 GWh of battery cells annually, which is enough to manufacture around 500K electric vehicles per year. But that is way less, not even half of what Tesla needs to put into its EVs. Because of that, LG Chem and CATL, two major battery cell suppliers of Tesla, have been shipping billions of cells to Tesla factories every year.
Texas-based EV maker is finally taking this matter into its own hands. 4680 cell manufacturing process is still in the works before reaching perfection at Kato Road. The dry-coating technique that helps Tesla reduce manufacturing costs and the environmental impact of cell production is yet to be scaled up. But there is enough time to improve before starting mass production at the new factory near Giga Nevada.
The estimated capacity of this factory will be 100 GWh, a huge capacity to produce enough batteries for 2 million electric vehicles. Tesla also has plans to build separate battery cell factories in Texas and Berlin, as well.

12 Largest EV Battery Manufacturers in the World

Chinese electric vehicle brands are a top priority at Licarco because the EV market has become increasingly dominated by pure electric Chinese cars. Last year, China sold more EVs than the rest of the world. BYD, NIO, ORA, and Geely are some of the biggest Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers.
Even though China has been producing millions of EVs for years, American drivers wouldn&#8217;t be able to buy one. It&#8217;s because vehicles made in China are subjected to a %27.5 import tariff in the US. Due to heavy taxation, Chinese brands had not prioritized the US auto market in their global plans. But that&#8217;s changing quickly, as more and more Chinese EV marques are expanding their reach towards western markets, including United States.
In this article, we gathered a list of Chinese EV brands and their expansion plans. We will update this post when an announcement is made regarding any Chinese EV maker&#8217;s global expansion.

Ssangyong

South Korean car manufacturer Ssangyong sold for $255 million to a local consortium led by EV maker Edison Motors. The firm will focus on electric vehicles from now on.
Edison Motors has officially acquired the financially troubled Ssangyong. Mahindra&amp;Mahindra, the leading stakeholder of Korean SUV manufacturer, decided to sell %75 of its stake in June 2020, and Ssangyong has applied for bankruptcy in December 2020.
After the Korean bankruptcy court’s approval, a consortium led by Edison Motors will pay about $255 million for the %95 of the Ssangyong. Edison Motors, a leading EV firm in Korea, plans to introduce 20 new electric cars until 2025 and 10 more until 2030 to the global automobile market.
Edison Motors is currently manufacturing only commercial electric vehicles and it is predicted that the company will invest about $850 million in the electrification of Ssangyong. Also, it is reported that the transformation plan by Edison will be detailed by March 1. The firm has plans to enter into the passenger EV market and to challenge Tesla with two high-powered EVs known as Smart S and Smart X.
Ssangyong has been trying to overcome its economic problems for many years. The Korean SUV manufacturer company was about to go bankrupt in 2011 but Mahindra &amp; Mahindra had saved the Ssangyong with its major investments. However, global sales did not meet the expectations and M&amp;M has called off all future investments in April 2020, two months before the decision of selling its shares.
<h2>Ssangyong Korando e-Motion EV will be on sale</h2>

Despite its debts, Ssangyong has begun the production of its first electric vehicle, Ssangyong Korando e-Motion last year. After handling the financial and organizational problems of the firm, this model will be introduced to European customers. Although the export of this EV to Europe has started months ago, the official launch was postponed due to the troubles in cash flow.
The EV Korando e-Motion has a 61.5-kWh LG Chem battery, 190 horsepower, and 360 Nm of torque. This electric SUV, which can be driven 339 km on a single charge, has a price tag of €36,000 in Spain. The first deliveries will be completed in the next months.
It is reported that Ssangyong will launch a new model in 2022, as well. The firm is also currently developing another EV, a big SUV codenamed as J100. The official launch date is still unclear due to its bankruptcy process and its acquisition, however, Edison Motors guaranteed that the acquisition process will be smooth and maximum efforts will be made in order to deliver the maximum number of electric car deliveries to the customers as soon as possible.
