Don't put your money on that.
- Robotbeat 8y agoThe current 3% battery cobalt level already confirmed by 3rd party tear down analysis. "Next gen" could be years away, sure. But there are PLENTY of existing lithium battery chemistries which use no cobalt whatsoever.
- xigma 8y agoThere's a big difference between 3% cobalt and no cobalt. Cobalt is important for safety, skimping on it to save some money is a big risk. I'm not saying it won't happen, just that I wouldn't put money on it.
- Robotbeat 8y agoLiFEPo batteries, which are notable for their safety, use zero cobalt. There are other ways to accomplish these goals.
