The new tech in EV batteries is what will relieve future customer anxieties around range, heat and cold.
The article below claims Jeff Dahn who used to work at 3m (itochu, shanshan connection) now with Tesla claims he has done better than solid state battery.
Who is helping Tesla to set this up in Shanghai?
This will be in addition to LG Chem.
I have 2 players in the picture Shanshan and Wanxiang who bought A123 and which 3m was born from.
The differences between solid state and current batteries are explained.
Not in the article, but from reading further,
The NCM811 battery is often used to extend knowledge on solid state tech.
This new tech currently being explored is from AJM'S customers and will increase demand for Li of a certain quality.
It has clarified for me the confusion.
Some solid batteries being looked at, are a modified NCM811 battery.
And then why have the researchers chosen NCM811 to conduct their studies?
