What's a good company to invest in here? Panasonic? Trouble is that lithium batteries are a drop & their bucket. BYD? (I thought BYD was just LiFePo4. better for storage not so much for cars. Though they make busses.)
- sunflowerfly 9y agoSome believe Tesla is properly described as a battery company instead of a car company. Their valuation is high for current sales though, obviously investors are buying on growth potential. Regretting selling my shares.
- yardie 9y agoOur experience with LiFePo4 is they are slightly cheaper at the cost of performance. If batteries make up the bulk of the cost of a BEV they would probably be the best choice for general fleet vehicles.
- greglindahl 9y agoBYD also makes cars. You can buy this one in the US https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BYD_e6 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BYD_e6 and it was apparently the best-selling EV model in China in 2016. Stanford owns some of their buses.
