Be still thine beating hearts, for we have very exciting news about battery chemistry: a lead engineer working for Ford has said its upcoming lithium-manganese-rich (LMR) battery will be safer, more energy-dense and cost less than current tech. And be in cars by 2030.
Ford’s electrified propulsion engineering chief Charles Poon said on LinkedIn: “This isn’t just a lab experiment. We’re actively working to scale LMR cell chemistry and integrate them into our future vehicle lineup within this decade.”
