Five years later comes news that the company has completed a manufacturing line for its batteries that will be able to produce 15,000 battery cells a year. That may not seem like a lot, but those cells will be delivered to BMW and Ford for them to test in real world battery-electric vehicles. Once those validation tests are compete, it will be time to move on to volume production, which will be

The company expects to begin shipping batteries to its automotive partners, BMW and Ford, for testing in prototype vehicles by the end of this year a key step in the validation process needed to supply batteries to automakers at scale, according to Campbell.

Thats what I am waiting for 1000 k range or better and charges in under 15/20 mins ! They are coming ! The LFP are for people who want to charge every 250/300 k and thats not in the dead of winter ! They are priced to be entry level batteries ideal for the front end of the adoption curve which is critical to the EV space IMO ! Silicon will be in the higher range higher end and that will be the
