Does Tesla use cobalt-free batteries or lithium iron phosphate batteries?

Use cobalt-free batteries, that is, lithium iron phosphate batteries? Tesla said that it is not necessarily Beijing News (Reporter Lu Yifu) Choosing not to use cobalt batteries means lithium iron phosphate batteries? Tesla has a different view on this. Please note that the absence of cobalt in the battery that Tesla launched in April does not necessarily mean lithium iron phosphate, Tesla wrote on the official Douyin card on February 21. This overturns the speculation that Tesla will use lithium iron phosphate batteries in the Model 3 made in my country. According to the British 'Financial Times' report, Tesla and my country's power lithium-ion battery supplier Ningdenian (Ningdenian) will use cobalt-free batteries after the electric vehicles processed at the Shanghai plant arrive. Tesla is expected to change its technical route. The choice of power lithium-ion batteries will include ternary batteries and lithium iron phosphate batteries. The current electric vehicle batteries are mainly divided into three types of batteries, mainly lithium iron phosphate batteries, three of which contain cobalt, and lithium iron carbonate batteries do not contain cobalt. Due to the high price of cobalt, the power lithium-ion battery company has been committed to reducing the content of cobalt. Now Ningde has launched the 811 nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary battery for ten years. Its cathode material contains 80% nickel, 10% cobalt and 10% manganese. Although the price of lithium iron carbonate battery is relatively low, because of its low energy density, it has been widely used in passenger cars and other fields. However, with the development of technology, the energy density of lithium iron carbonate batteries is also increasing. At present, Tesla electric vehicles use ternary lithium batteries. Battery experts speculate that if Tesla uses lithium iron phosphate batteries, the price is expected to fall further. Simon Moores, director of benchmark mineralsintelligence, a battery materials consulting company, said that Tesla will purchase Yongde lithium iron phosphate batteries to power the Model 3, and long-term batteries will continue to use 811 internals batteries supplied by LG Chem. He believes that this can reduce the cost of the self-made Model 3 by more than 25%, and, according to Tesla's three-electric (motor, electronics, battery) advantages, even if it uses lithium iron phosphate batteries, it can still use new energy subsidies.
