No, LFP is one form of Li-ion battery, along with other chemistries like NMC, NCA, LMO, etc.

Nope. Today it's more like 20-30% less energy density. And the gap has been closing over time.

Absolutely false. The vast majority of Chinese-built EVs (brands like BFD, NIO, MG, XPeng, Geely) use LFP in many models. Most Chinese-built Teslas use LFP packs. Tesla's Powerwall 3 home storage batteries use LFP. Western automakers are also increasingly looking to LFP to reduce costs and improve stability and safety.
In fact, I'd say the significant majority of all EVs shipping in the world today contain LFP batteries.
