New lithium iron phosphate battery pack

What is zeekr's new lithium phosphate battery pack?

Zeekr, an EV brand owned by the parent company of Polestar and Volvo cars, has unveiled a new lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack that can be fast-charged ultra-rapidly, adding 500 km of range in just 15 minutes.

Will BMW IX be able to run a lithium phosphate battery?

BMW iX being tested with prototype Our Next Energy lithium iron phosphate battery Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries already power the majority of electric vehicles in the Chinese market, but they are just starting to make inroads in North America.

What is the new LFP battery pack?

The new battery pack was revealed this week by the company with the news being shared on the company’s Weibo page as well as reports from cnevpost. This LFP battery pack will offer up to 83.7% volume utilisation.

What is lithium iron phosphate (LFP)?

These use an iron-based chemistry (hence their name, lithium iron phosphate or LFP), which is cheaper but has the disadvantage of a lower energy density. However, this is set to change as newer iron-based chemistries enter production, offering improved charging performance and energy density.

What is the volume utilization of the new LFP battery pack?

Thanks to the use of newly developed materials and simplified structural design, the volume utilization of the new battery pack reaches 83.7 percent according to Zeekr; the automaker claims that's higher than what many global competitors have achieved with LFP batteries.

What is lithium iron manganese phosphate (Lmfp)?

“Meanwhile, the energy density growth of mass-produced LFP batteries has encountered bottlenecks, and further improvement requires an upgrade of the chemical system, so manganese doped as called lithium iron manganese phosphate (LMFP) was developed.” said Dr Cheng.
