RE:Ford said to have trouble with battery in electric trucks Nope. It is the Cobalt version (NMC) battery pack made by a South Korean supplier, "SK On", in Georgia and Hungary.. Ford hasn't started with LFP yet, it is just starting to build the plant in Michigan. Once they do, fire danger is greatly reduced.
On Monday, Ford said it planned to build a $3.5 billion battery plant in Michigan with technology and help from a key Chinese supplier, Contemporary Amperex Technology Limited, known as CATL, the world’s largest supplier of automotive batteries.
The plant will make so-called LFP batteries, which use lithium, iron and phosphate and are expected to be markedly less expensive than the batteries that Ford and most other automakers use now. SK On makes NMC batteries, which use the high-cost elements nickel, manganese and cobalt.
