FFE Battery Chemistry?

Does anyone know the chemistry used in the FFE batteries? I'm guessing it is lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) or something similar (maybe lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (NCA)). I know lithium iron phosphate (LFP) was also around at the time (A123) but I don't think it was being used in cars at the time.

FWIW, I'm approaching 60k miles and so far battery capacity has not changed noticeably. I haven't done any run down tests, that's just based on my daily driving and what I see range wise.

Re: FFE Battery Chemistry?

FFEs use the NMC based chemistry. I believe the cells are LGX P1, which is what the first gen Chevy Volt uses. I think the second gen Volt used LGX P1.5 cells.

Re: FFE Battery Chemistry?

I have seen the chemistry referred to as NMO as well for the FFE, but yea pretty sure Skyguy is right with NMC.

Some ad integration hyperlinks keywords like charger. Soul likely because there was a Kia Soul EV years ago (and probably again, by now)
