Reuters : Tesla in talks over cheaper batteries

by 나를 위한 여행의 시작 2021. 5. 16.

Elon Musk가 이끌던 전기차 시장에, 많은 회사가 뛰어들면서 이제 본격적인 전기차 경쟁이 시작되고 있다.

전기차 가격의 대부분이라 할 수 있는 "배터리"

오래가는 배터리를 위한 니켈, 코발트의 공급 차질, 그리고 배터리 가격을 낮추기 위한 차선책에 대한 고민.

중국 회사 EVE Enegry의 Lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) battery 기술에 

Elon Musk가 관심을 보이고 협상중.

LFP 는  Covalt에 비하면 가격적인 면에서는 잇점이 있지만, 한번 충전해서 사용할 수 있는 그 range에는 아직 약점이 있다.

Expensive batteries are one reason 

why electric cars cost more to buy that has Tesla thinking 

 

Reuters Sources say 

it's in talks with Chinese firm EVE Energy.

It wants to procure cheaper sales from the company

 

Eve makes batteries using lithium-iron phosphate (or LFP).

They're cheaper than the usual type which use more expensive nickel and cobalt.

 

There's a catch though as the LFP cells don't offer as much range on a single charge.

Sources say the talks are advanced and a deal could be struck in the third quarter

Eve is reportedly already running late stage tests for Tesla

 

The electric car pioneer faces mounting cost pressures

and new rivals including chinese makers like Nio. 

 

Earlier in the year founder Elon Musk said 

Tesla would shift some vehicles to alternative battery technology 

amid concerns about the supply of nickel.
