Recharge co-presenters Matt Fernley (Battery Materials Review) and Cormac O’Laoire (Electrios Energy) talk about the impact of China’s lockdown on EV sales and what the outlook is; highlight developments around the LFP chemistry, particularly with regards to speculation that Ford may start using it; talk about BYD’s cell to body technology and contrast that with Tesla; discuss different battery formats, particularly around the renaissance of cylindrical, and growing market share of prismatic cells; talk about the impact of President Biden’s tariff strategy on solar+storage demand; and what discussion would be complete without some chat on lithium and lithium prices?!
