    China entfernt sich bei Elektrofahrzeugen viel schneller vom Nickel als Europa oder die USA: 67 % der im letzten Jahr in China verkauften Batteriekapazität für Elektrofahrzeuge waren nickelfreies LFP (in grün), verglichen mit nur 6 % in Europa

      China is moving much faster because Europe is barely moving at all. Instead we’re focusing on yet more protectionism for our auto industry, when competition is literally the only thing that will get them to put their asses into gear.

      LFP batteries were 40% of total EV batteries sold last year, and seems that they will take over soon

      advantages:

      * LFPs are nickel, cobalt and manganese free( all rare metals which cost a lost); this all leads to far lower costs
      * slower rate of decay and twice the lifetime of nickel batteries : LPF batteries have at least 80% of battery capacity left after 3000 charging cycles, double the cycles of NMC batteries
      * much safer and lower risk of explosion

      disadvantages:

      * lower energy density than NMC batteries, which means that battery packs became heavier due to LFP batteries uptake; that however is slowly improving as well due to better pack design, and could match NMCs in energy density within couple of years

      i am really anxious about environment polluted by chinese factories alongside this production rash in China… How much time we have till the ice melts at the poles because of chinese economical activities???

      What does nickle free battery mean concretely. What is it good for and why can’t European manufacturers do the same?

      The car industry, at least in Germany,  has for decades tried to not change a bit. Influencing politicians and putting pressure on them, leading social media campaigns against EVs. While everyone already knew that they had to adapt in order not to fail. Now we’re here and once again VW, BMW, Daimler are crying for help. 
      Yes, you’re massively important for the industry. But also yes it’s your own fault, now find a way out. Fast.

      Food for thought. Chinese EVs have noticeably been catching themselves on fire recently.

      Europe and Europeans need to wake the fuck up, in the last few days I have seen so many comments about “Chinese EV companies stealing European’s tech hence we need more protectionism”, which could not be further than the truth

      The truth is that Europe has missed the tech train completely, the US takes the cake on that one

      We still have the German car industry but yet again we sleep, while our competitors work faster and smarter than ever

      If we keep blaming circumstances instead of owning our mistakes, this rabbit hole will know no end

      The problem with our continent is that we don’t take decisions that are painful to vested interests. That’s what you get when you let German babyboom Christian Democrat politicians lead the whole thing.

      But sometimes you have to, because of the greater good and the longer term. Europe is now at least a decade behind the US and China. It already was in tech, but now it’s also becoming the case in Europe’s core industries, with no signs of it getting better – while half the Eurozone would have been bankrupt if it wasn’t for more responsible countries.

      People like Von der Leyen, Juncker and Michel (and others btw) should be deeply ashamed they have let it come this far. There is no excuse for this, even if you yourself (Ursula) are coming from a country that lags behind at least 2 decades compared to other European countries.

      Being a dictatorship sitting on a ton of resources helps a lot.

      Ahh, the benefits of colonialism allowing you access to those goood metals.
