Lithium Ion rely on cobalt nickel, but LFP do not, and also do not have the thermal runaway problems that lithium ion batteries do. This is close to being a solved problem.
- pfdietz 2y agoLFP batteries are also lithium ion batteries, just a different kind.
- twobitshifter 2y agoLithium isn’t problematic on its own. They can take enough of it from the Salton Sea without any mining.
- pfdietz 2y agoI want to note the lithium there is not from the Salton Sea itself, but from geothermal brines in the rock under the sea. The area is a place of active volcanism so the brines are quite hot and have dissolved many interesting minerals.
- tooltalk 2y agoLithiums are highly reactive and are never found in their pure form in nature.
