(LFP) Lithium Iron Phosphate vs (NMC) Lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxides
- They can be used even in the same model of the same car brand.
| LFP | NMC |
|---|---|
| better energy density | |
| safer in heat management | needs very good thermal management |
| technology improves for fast charging | historically considered to charge faster. |
| higher battery cycles around 2 - 7k | lower battery cycles like 1 - 4k |
| it is good for public vehicles. | it works better at cold temperatures |
| safer, more environmental friendly | it has cobalt, which is rare mineral. |
