Tesla's Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries (LFP) Explained

LFP batteries are the most important product to date for the transition of renewable energy. These batteries do not need to worry about the scarcity issues other types of batteries face that use different cathodes, mainly from materials such as nickle, manganese, cobalt and aluminum. LFP uses iron based cathodes. Iron is extremely abundant and cheap.


Let's discuss all the other benefits of LFP batteries, and find out why they are so crucial to electric vehicles (EVs), and energy for battery storage.
Once Tesla have refined their 4680 battery lines, then soon expect them to release their very own LFP battery, which will be the most important product to the company. The majority of the the entire business is based on this single product. Therefore this is why I deem it such a big deal.


In this video you should come away with a thorough understanding of how LFP batteries work, and why they are just so beneficial to Tesla.



And for those who are concerned that lithium might also be scarce, and that we may be running out of lithium for the lithium-ions, well you may be surprised that is not quite as much an issue as you might think.
