What are the advantages and disadvantages of CALT LFP type batteries versus Tesla NCA type batteries what’s the basic science behind them? Today I’ll compare a standard LFP Chemistry like CATL’s to the NCA chemistry produced by Panasonic at Giga Nevada for Tesla to provide a Full Rundown of the Science and Specs.

For those looking for information on the BYD blade battery and Tesla’s 4680 with LFP, those will each be covered in separate videos. This video mainly focuses on chemistry, whereas the Blade and 4680 are mainly form factor changes that come with a host of additional benefits.
