Maybe im3alltalk could use someone elses battery chemistry rather than the 7 year old BMLMP.... EV's for im3alltalk.

Tesla will reportedly equip the new Chinese-produced edition of its Model 3 with new battery cells from CATL using lithium manganese iron phosphate (LMFP) chemistry. The carmaker is also said to be interested in battery technology from another manufacturer.

The portal 36kr, which is usually well-informed about the Asian battery industry, cites several insiders saying that new cell technology from a different battery manufacturer would allow for a 66 kWh battery pack. The current LFP battery in the basic Model 3 and Model Y has an energy content of 60 kWh.

The revised Tesla Model 3, developed under the codename “Highland”, will launch in the third quarter of 2023. With the LMFP battery, the range, according to the Chinese CLTC cycle, should increase to up to 556 kilometres, according to 36kr.
