LG and other South Korean manufacturers.According to Businesskorea, LGES and other South Korean manufacturers are also looking for a different cobalt-free battery - the LNMO, in which cobalt is replaced by a higher proportion of manganese. It should make the cells less expensive, but probably requires a lot of development to not sacrifice energy density or other parameters too much. We are eager to see more solutions competing against each other in the entry-level EV and energy storage segments, as they are crucial to making EVs more affordable.
