BASF and Asian battery giants are moving on to NCM 811 @Zinzo.
Ur fighting yesterday's battle in terms of energy density and price.

Recall 230 wh/kg was Upreti's claimed figure for 'bone' chemistry.
Step up from NCM 622 to NCM 811 battery cells leading to energy density increase of roughly 30%.
230 to 300 wh/Kg with costs est. around AUD$150.

Korean battery-makers to introduce NCM 811 cells



Dec 2017 - LG Chem will introduce NCM 811 battery cells for EVs next year
"NCM 811 battery cells represent better energy density & lower costs than current mainstream battery technology."

Dec 2017 - SK innovation to start producing NCM 811 battery cells soon
"New NCM 811 battery cells not only have better energy density, they are also cheaper to produce, especially since they require less cobalt."

Feb 2018 - CATL aims to reach 300 Wh/kg before 2020 - NCM 811
"China’s 13th Five-year Plan (2016 to 2020) sets the goals for EV battery cells of reaching an energy density higher than 300 Wh/kg and cost lower than 100 €/kWh.
NCM 811 battery cells are clearly the way to go..."



Frank down-sizing to 1KWh and using 2nd hand gear a sign playing catch-up before they've began.
Bone chemistry heading for the graveyard?
