Chinese Battery Maker to Invest $6.3bn in Morocco

top-12-ev-battery-manufacturers-in-the-world

12 Largest EV Battery Manufacturers in the World

The world&#8217;s biggest battery manufacturer CATL will start producing new LFP cells with 15 percent more energy density, Chinese media reported. This new lithium-ion cell can hold significantly more energy than traditional LFP solutions, thanks to a new cathode material that contains manganese. CATL concluded the necessary tests on its brand-new cell chemistry and has already started to prepare for production in the second half of 2022.
LMFP (Lithium manganese iron phosphate) is the new way forward for the Chinese LFP cell manufacturers, as this new technology can overcome LFP&#8217;s most important shortcoming against NMC/NCA cells, which is dramatically lower energy density. To commercialize its new tech, CATL spent more than $60 million last year to purchase a 60% stake at an LMFP cathode material producer called Lithitech last year.
There are several ongoing R&amp;D projects that aim to make LFP cells hold more energy, and LMFP is probably the closest candidate to launch onto the market right now. Aside from CATL, BYD, Sunwoda, and EVE have also been developing similar cathode technology for the near future. Gotion High-tech, another Chinese LFP cell maker, already announced that their LFP cell enhanced with manganese is going to be in production next year or so. 
<h2>LFP Will Dominate Global Lithium Battery Market</h2>
Due to higher prices on materials used in leading cathode solution NMC, LFP battery cells have gained traction in the last couple of years. LFP offers a longer life cycle, increased safety for EVs, less heating, and cheaper manufacturing costs. According to Chinese market reports, LFP has been the most popular choice among electric vehicles since July 2021.
LFP cells dominated the EV battery market in China with a 59% market share in the first six months of this year. NMC had shrunk to 41 percent and has kept losing big accounts such as Tesla to LFP producers. In global terms, NMC will hand down its crown to LFP by 2028, analysts predict.

CATL Will Start Producing LFP Batteries With 15 Percent More Energy, Thanks To Manganese

In a global market with demand surpassing 3,000GWh by 2030, lithium iron phosphate (LFP) will overtake nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) as the dominating battery chemistry by 2028. That&#8217;s according to a recent report from Wood Mackenzie Power &amp; Renewables on the lithium-ion battery manufacturing business. China&#8217;s CATL and South Korea&#8217;s LG are the highest-ranked manufacturers expected to increase its most manufacturing capability this decade. By 2030, CATL plans to have 800GWh of yearly production capacity online.
The raw materials required to make them are plentiful, low-cost, and available in practically every country. As a consequence, they are usually less expensive. Nickel prices have reached insane new highs today, exposing the pricing difference between LFP and conventional batteries even further. Increased nickel prices have already prompted automakers to boost the prices of many of the current electric vehicles on the market.

Gotion High-Tech expects to be able to begin large-scale production of an LFP battery with an energy output of 230 Wh/kg by the end of the year. Comparable battery packs with an energy density of 210 Wh/kg are already in production. In comparison, the energy density of today&#8217;s cobalt and nickel-based cells is around 250 to 270 Wh/kg. &#8220;At a certain point, ternary lithium batteries will be replaced on a wider scale in Gotion,&#8221; Gotion CEO Li Zhen said this week at the China EV100 Forum 2022. Notwithstanding to this, Gotion continues to spend money on new ternary battery tech use much less nickel and cobalt. In the coming years, it anticipates ramping up production of a semi-solid-state battery with a battery capacity of 360 Wh/kg. Volkswagen is collaborating with Gotion and stands to gain from its battery research and development initiatives.
