Most EVs are sold with LFP batteries. No cobalt no nickel. If you buy LFP batteries from CATL they have an expected life of 1,200,000 miles. So many miles of 0 emission driving and reuse of the battery for grid storage at the end of the EV life. LFP batteries are also easier to recycle the material.
Next generation batteries like Lyten have 40% lower CO2 in the production of that battery and 40% reduction in weight.
EV s are a journey of continuous improvement. In partnership with renewable energy that is also continuously improving in cost.
Support for EV today encourages investment in continuous improvement in EV batteries.
