How Removing Cobalt From Batteries Can Make EVs Cheaper - YouTube

  • 1:40 - cobalt helps prevent battery fires
  • 5:35 - lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries are already an alternative, they just don't have as good an energy density[QUANTIFICATION needed] -- maybe that's ok tho?
  • 9:00?(...)( I lost the exact timestamp, will find it again later ) cobalt-free cathode using more iron and nickel - it can be made with the same factory equip - same energy density or more - what about stability tho?
  • so the video says that a solution is being developed. The video was posted on November 11, 2021. Now what? I don't expect updates from these kinds of youtube channels - and if there was, would it even help? How do we(...)( the people lol ) push this research forward(...)( or make an honest evaluation of its feasibility ) when it's all done behind closed doors of corporations? Are we just supposed to wait around while the planet is burning?
