Bigger Batteries for EV?Batteries that might have big energy densities and greater ranges? These ideas here might help you about it! The focus on lithium-ion batteries seems to reflect supply and demand of lithium and cobalt and the growth rates of EVs and ESS but it would be very wrong not to include nickel. If EVs are to replace petrol/diesel vehicles, they may require battery packs that might deliver the ranges that drivers are used to.
First-generation EVs relied on lithium-ion batteries that were made using lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and lithium manganese oxide (LMO), neither of which used nickel in their chemistries. Check disclaimer on profile.
