HiPhi

🟢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.

BYD Plans To Construct a 20 GWH Battery Plant in Wenzhou

Tesla

In a drive to increase employment as it speeds up battery production, Tesla has officially launched its Megafactory in California. With the addition of the new production plant, Tesla&#8217;s Energy division is anticipated to grow significantly. The company just deployed 2.1 GWh of battery-based energy storage systems, breaking its own quarterly record.
More than 10 GWh will be added every three months until the Lathrop facility is completed. That will represent a paradigm shift for the whole sector and might be of enormous assistance to utility companies searching for elevated and cost-effective battery solutions.
&nbsp;
<h2>Tesla Plans to Generate 40 Gwh Of Megapacks at its Megafactory Per Year</h2>
The Lathrop site is rather large since 40 GWh of Tesla Megapack systems are expected to be produced there annually based on the company&#8217;s 2021 announcement. About 3 MWh, together with all required power electronics, may fit within one Megapack container. Tesla should be capable of producing well over 13,000 Megapacks annually at a capacity of 40 GWh. In comparison to its 2021 production, that represents a significant rise.
Tesla will benefit from using massive BESS, such as the Megapack, large volume serial production, and the lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery chemistry. Additionally, Tesla has disclosed plans to use LFP cells in its Model 3/Model Y entry-level automobiles and energy storage systems.
Currently, BESS only contributes a small percentage of Tesla&#8217;s overall income, and its margins are substantially lower than those of its automobiles. Because the firm is rapidly growing its EV business, it is predicted that BESS share will keep around 10% for the coming years.

Dynamics is one of the vehicle&#8217;s most important features while it is being developed. Built on the e-TNGA platform, which is also used by the bZ4X SUV, the previous model of the bZ series, the bZ3 is said to provide a comfortable ride, low center of gravity, excellent handling balance, and responsive performance.
Much attention has been paid to the interior volume and width of the vehicle as well as the mechanical part. Toyota states that while developing the vehicle, they thought of it not only as a means of transportation but also as a space to spend time with family and friends. That&#8217;s why the interior of the vehicle also has very fine details. Toyota&#8217;s Digital Island system combines a large vertical center display with a tray-type console inside. In addition to wireless charging, smartphones, and multimedia, as well as air conditioning, music, and automatic trunk release are just a few of the interior features. Volume control is also part of the system.

Like the bZ4X, the bZ3 has the hammerhead shark-like design format of the Toyota bZ series, but the sedan body style gives it much higher aerodynamic efficiency. Thanks to this and the use of air guides, air curtains, recessed door handles, aero-optimized wheels, and a shaped rear bumper to reduce air resistance, the Toyota bZ3 achieves a drag coefficient of 0.218.
The bZ3, which will be produced by FAW Toyota, is said to have a production and sales start before the end of this year and an estimated base price of around $28,000.

Chinese-American battery manufacturer Farasis announced its new strategy and a new high-nickel battery product at a press event in Beijing. The next-gen lithium-ion battery is called SPS, or &#8220;Super Pouch Solution&#8221;. As the name suggests, Farasis is switching to CTP (Cell-to-Pack) battery design with bigger pouch cells. This new design will allow EVs using the latest cells from Farasis to travel up to 400 kilometers with 10 minutes of charging. Super Pouch will also support the direct-recycling process developed by the battery maker.
Related Article: <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/lithium-ion-battery-cell-types-lfp-nmc-cells-explained" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lithium-Ion Battery Cell Types, LFP, NMC Explained</a>
Thanks to the bigger, thicker pouch-cell form factor, Super Pouch batteries will reach a gravimetric pack-level energy density of 330 Wh/kg. Farasis confirmed that its new NMC cell will support 800V electrical architecture, up to 4C discharge rates, and 300-350 kW DC charging speeds that will allow 400 kilometers of range with a 10-minute charging session.
The module-less battery pack will include a two-sided liquid cooling system and heat dissipation plates on three sides of every pouch cell. Advanced thermal management system will not only quadruple heat dissipation efficiency but also extend battery life to more than 3,000 cycles.
Horizontally placed big pouch cells will allow Farasis to decrease the number of battery parts by 50%, reduce material costs by up to 33%, and increase volume utilization to 75%. The compact battery pack will be able to hold off more than 90 percent of its energy capacity in extreme cold weather conditions (-20 Celcius).

Currently, Farasis only offers high-nickel NMC811 and NMC622 pouch cells. With the new strategy, Chinese company will add some competitive options to its product portfolio, such as LFP, high-manganese NMC, and low-cost sodium-ion battery cells.
Thanks to a much improved semi-solid electrolyte and silicone anode, Farasis will be able to produce NMC cells with 300 to 400 Wh/kg energy density. After switching to a fully solid-state electrolyte in 2028, energy density levels will reach as far as 500 Wh/kilogram, which will hopefully be enough to be used in the aviation industry.
Next year, Farasis is getting into the LFP wagon as well. They will not only produce lithium-iron-phosphate batteries but also offer more energy-dense LMFP (Lithium manganese-iron-phosphate) cells. The energy density level will vary between 200 to 240 Wh/kg. These will not be the cheapest option Farasis will provide. Sodium-ion battery production is also due in 2023 with an energy density of 160 Wh/kg. Farasis predicts that its sodium-ion cells will be best for energy storage applications and entry-level EVs. Energy density-wise, these cells will go as high as 230 Wh/kg by 2030.
<h2>Battery Plants Will Cost Less, Thanks to Improved Battery Tech</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-21574" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/farasis-battery-plant-footage-1024x575.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="421" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/farasis-battery-plant-footage-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/farasis-battery-plant-footage-300x168.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/farasis-battery-plant-footage-768x431.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/farasis-battery-plant-footage-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/farasis-battery-plant-footage-1568x881.jpg 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/farasis-battery-plant-footage.jpg 1898w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Improved battery chemistry and much higher energy density will allow Farasis to cut manufacturing equipment costs by 50 percent. Super Pouch-producing factories will also require 60% less space for the same amount of battery production output.
Farasis also said that new battery plants will consume 35% less energy and lower production costs by 30%. Chinese company has agreed to open a battery plant in Turkey with domestic EV brand <a href="https://www.licarco.com/togg-c-suv">Togg</a>. This new plant will definitely produce next-gen pouch cells from Farasis starting in 2025. <a href="https://www.licarco.com/zeekr-001-single-motor-we">Geely</a> also established a joint venture with Farasis to construct multiple battery cell production sites and co-develop future battery technologies. Both of these partners will make use of Super Pouch&#8217;s cost-cutting, energy-dense design.

Farasis has been developing lithium-ion batteries ever since Yu Wang and Keith Kepler established their first company in 2002. After a dramatic transfer to China in 2009 and a collaboration with Mercedes-Benz, Farasis quickly became the industry&#8217;s one of the most successful battery start-ups in the early 2010s. It even made it into the world&#8217;s 10 largest battery manufacturers in 2017 and 2018. Even though it had early success in this emerging field, Farasis has yet to make its big leap forward. They have been struggling to ramp up production. With the new strategy, company&#8217;s offering will cover every customer&#8217;s needs from low-cost sodium-ion cells to high-nickel NMC batteries with silicon anode.

<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-cars-have-been-sold" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tesla</a> will upgrade its 72-kWh battery inside the Model Y with <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/catl-will-start-producing-lfp-batteries-with-15-percent-more-energy-thanks-to-manganese" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CATL</a>&#8216;s latest technology, according to the Chinese news outlet Late Post. CATL calls its new battery &#8220;M3P&#8221;, which holds 15% more energy than its current LFP batteries. Thanks to a more energy-dense battery pack, Tesla&#8217;s new model will weigh less and offer more mileage.
Late Post reported that the new battery will be used inside the 2023 Tesla Model Ys built in the Giga Shanghai factory later this year. Tesla would start producing new electric SUVs with CATL&#8217;s brand-new battery as soon as Q4 2022, the report said. Refreshed Model Y is going to be delivered to Chinese customers in early 2023.
CATL has been developing an improved version of the highly popular LFP battery cells for quite a while. M3P will solve LFP&#8217;s low energy density stats compared to NMC cells. It is reported that the Chinese battery maker would produce M3P cells offering 210 Wh/kg gravimetric energy density. As a result, EV manufacturers could build much lighter vehicles or make those vehicles travel farther while storing more energy inside a battery pack that weighs the same.
<h2>CATL&#8217;s secret &#8216;M3P Battery&#8217; will be the key to cheaper, longer range EVs</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-18032 size-full" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/f4323188-0ec0-4b0d-901c-2c71d85cda4a.png" alt="" width="800" height="434" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/f4323188-0ec0-4b0d-901c-2c71d85cda4a.png 800w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/f4323188-0ec0-4b0d-901c-2c71d85cda4a-300x163.png 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/f4323188-0ec0-4b0d-901c-2c71d85cda4a-768x417.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" />
CATL has yet to reveal M3P&#8217;s cathode chemistry. But it hinted multiple times that the new way forward would be LMFP (Lithium-manganese-iron-phosphate). Conventional LFP batteries cost less than NMC, provide a longer life cycle, and decrease the possibility of catching fire when thermal runaway occurs. The only downside is the lower energy density. BYD&#8217;s one of the first LFP battery solutions and only offer 90 Wh/kg, less than half of what NMC cells store.
To further improve LFP&#8217;s energy density, a significant number of companies rely on new cathode chemistry with manganese-additive. CATL will be the first manufacturer to bring &#8216;LMFP&#8217; cells into the market with the launch of M3P batteries. NIO has been developing a similar chemistry for its future EVs. Chinese sources said the company would not only add manganese but also add a third metal into the cathode of its M3P cells. The third metal used in the ground-breaking cathode is yet to be disclosed. Magnesium and aluminum are two highly likely options here.
CATL&#8217;s main goal is to help its customers build cheaper and longer-range EVs. M3P cell, with its promising cathode could be the key to achieving its goal. M3P will improve the LFP battery&#8217;s energy density and keep the manufacturing costs down. The Chinese firm will also not have to spend too much money to change its production lines for the new battery cells, as the LMFP production process is not so different than the conventional LFP products.

2023 Tesla Model Y said to use CATL’s new energy-dense M3P Battery

The world&#8217;s biggest battery manufacturer CATL will start producing new LFP cells with 15 percent more energy density, Chinese media reported. This new lithium-ion cell can hold significantly more energy than traditional LFP solutions, thanks to a new cathode material that contains manganese. CATL concluded the necessary tests on its brand-new cell chemistry and has already started to prepare for production in the second half of 2022.
LMFP (Lithium manganese iron phosphate) is the new way forward for the Chinese LFP cell manufacturers, as this new technology can overcome LFP&#8217;s most important shortcoming against NMC/NCA cells, which is dramatically lower energy density. To commercialize its new tech, CATL spent more than $60 million last year to purchase a 60% stake at an LMFP cathode material producer called Lithitech last year.
There are several ongoing R&amp;D projects that aim to make LFP cells hold more energy, and LMFP is probably the closest candidate to launch onto the market right now. Aside from CATL, BYD, Sunwoda, and EVE have also been developing similar cathode technology for the near future. Gotion High-tech, another Chinese LFP cell maker, already announced that their LFP cell enhanced with manganese is going to be in production next year or so. 
<h2>LFP Will Dominate Global Lithium Battery Market</h2>
Due to higher prices on materials used in leading cathode solution NMC, LFP battery cells have gained traction in the last couple of years. LFP offers a longer life cycle, increased safety for EVs, less heating, and cheaper manufacturing costs. According to Chinese market reports, LFP has been the most popular choice among electric vehicles since July 2021.
LFP cells dominated the EV battery market in China with a 59% market share in the first six months of this year. NMC had shrunk to 41 percent and has kept losing big accounts such as Tesla to LFP producers. In global terms, NMC will hand down its crown to LFP by 2028, analysts predict.

Lithium-ion Battery Cell Types, LFP, NMC Cells Explained

In a global market with demand surpassing 3,000GWh by 2030, lithium iron phosphate (LFP) will overtake nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) as the dominating battery chemistry by 2028. That&#8217;s according to a recent report from Wood Mackenzie Power &amp; Renewables on the lithium-ion battery manufacturing business. China&#8217;s CATL and South Korea&#8217;s LG are the highest-ranked manufacturers expected to increase its most manufacturing capability this decade. By 2030, CATL plans to have 800GWh of yearly production capacity online.
The raw materials required to make them are plentiful, low-cost, and available in practically every country. As a consequence, they are usually less expensive. Nickel prices have reached insane new highs today, exposing the pricing difference between LFP and conventional batteries even further. Increased nickel prices have already prompted automakers to boost the prices of many of the current electric vehicles on the market.

Gotion High-Tech expects to be able to begin large-scale production of an LFP battery with an energy output of 230 Wh/kg by the end of the year. Comparable battery packs with an energy density of 210 Wh/kg are already in production. In comparison, the energy density of today&#8217;s cobalt and nickel-based cells is around 250 to 270 Wh/kg. &#8220;At a certain point, ternary lithium batteries will be replaced on a wider scale in Gotion,&#8221; Gotion CEO Li Zhen said this week at the China EV100 Forum 2022. Notwithstanding to this, Gotion continues to spend money on new ternary battery tech use much less nickel and cobalt. In the coming years, it anticipates ramping up production of a semi-solid-state battery with a battery capacity of 360 Wh/kg. Volkswagen is collaborating with Gotion and stands to gain from its battery research and development initiatives.
