The main battery suppliers for Ford's electric vehicles are LG Energy Solution and SK On, with a North American joint venture called BlueOval SK to expand domestic cell production. Ford also uses CATL for certain lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cells in. We've known for some time that the forthcoming all-electric, mid-size Ford EV pickup will utilize lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, which are less energy dense than some alternatives, but also, are generally considered to be safer and more stable, can be charged to 100 percent without. Virtually all modern battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) rely on lithium-ion chemistry, but the cells themselves come in three main form factors. Each format offers specific benefits that influence driving range, packaging, and charging performance. At Power Ford, we believe knowing the differences. Our state-of-the-art lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cell production equipment is already operational, producing C-sample cells at our equipment supplier location off-site. Having this work done and team members trained in parallel speeds up the commissioning process once the equipment arrives. Building the kind of batteries these cars need takes a mix of planning, partnerships, and key decisions about where and how they're made.
