@bmcwilliams.bsky.socialReposted by @bruegel.orgChina battery lead is striking for LFP innovation.
Lower energy density than NMC, but exciting for not needing nickel or cobalt, and far cheaper.
🇨🇳 EV market is already dominated by LFP, and Chinese inventors make more than half of global patents.
@tagliapietra.bsky.socialReposted by @bruegel.org💡 Batteries of Chinese-sold EVs tend to run with lithium iron phosphate (LFP); those sold in Europe are more commonly made with cobalt (NMC). ▶️ LFP batteries are considerably cheaper and are gaining global market share. More than half of global LFP patents are held by Chinese investors.
