As we all know, one of the biggest challenges for new energy vehicles is battery technology. At present, lithium iron phosphate batteries occupy the main supply market, but the technology in Europe is not yet very competitive. Meanwhile, solid-state batteries have made technological breakthroughs in Japan, Europe and other places, but it takes time to commercialize them.
The high price of batteries is also a factor limiting the price of Electric Vehicles. In 2024, where is the technological breakthrough direction of EV batteries?
