The Tenor of this article is not my cup of tea.
This CATL battery utilizes a Patented "one cell" for lack of a better term packaging technology which could give the F150 EV a potential range on one charge of 620 miles.
With as much as 60% of the batteries coming from China, do we want to outsource this to them, especially for the US's flag ship Pickup?
A tangent question is shall we assume Ford is still committed to their Solid State Battery Partner Solid Power and their efforts to increase range, reduce charge times, and weight with their technology.
87% of EV batteries sold in the US are made in the US.
And this would be a chance to “closely observe” a process that was invented (YES THEY DID) by the Chinese.
I hope that the batteries used in vehicles have a better record than the ones that power my tools!
