Did you notice the headcase forgot to cut out the end of the article that says high nickel batteries are here to stay? Not too bright that boy. ;)
Despite the recent changes, some international battery and cathode makers told Fastmarkets that, in the long term, they would move toward high-nickel NCM.
“The adoption of low-nickel chemistries is just temporary,” an end user in Japan said. “Ultimately, we will move toward high-nickel NCM in the long term.”
Primarily due to demand for higher driving distances for EVs, high-nickel NCM batteries are particularly more desirable in the European and US markets, where, unlike China, there are greater distances between most cities.
“High-nickel NCM batteries have higher energy density, which is more suitable for the long-distance driving need in Europe and US,” said a second Chinese lithium producer source.
