That said, VSPC remains active in various research programmes, some partly funded by federal government grants, for the time being. Those programmes include: evaluation of low-cost reagent feed for the manufacture of LFP cathode powders, and  development of rapid-charge batteries for use in transportation.However, these activities too are being scaled back and VSPC’s pilot plant will be placed on care and maintenance, although lab-scale development to optimise VSPC cathode materials is ongoing, with activity to be reviewed on a monthly basis.
