The lithium iron phosphate battery offers an alternative in the electric vehicle market.
LFP batteries have always been cheaper than higher performance nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) batteries, and the cost is expected to drop even more as lithium prices come down from 2022 highs. The price drop has helped LFP batteries gain traction in markets outside of China, where the chemistry is already dominant.
Prices for lithium, nickel and cobalt sharply decreased in 2023 and are expected to decline further in 2024. The drop has further decreased the cost of lithium-iron-phosphate batteries for electric-vehicle makers. Source: Witthaya Prasongsin/Moment via Getty Images.
