Core Viewpoint - Ford is actively developing a disruptive battery chemistry, the Lithium Manganese Rich (LMR) battery, aimed at achieving lower costs and longer range for electric vehicles by 2030 [6][10][23]. Group 1: Battery Development and Innovation - Ford initially offered Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) batteries and later introduced Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries in 2023, with LMR batteries being the next significant advancement [6][12]. - The LMR battery is expected to provide higher safety, stability, and energy density compared to nickel-based batteries, leading to longer driving ranges [8][19]. - Ford's Ion Park research center in Michigan is focused on innovative battery materials and manufacturing processes, aiming to reduce costs across all aspects of battery technology [12][14]. Group 2: Market Position and Goals - Ford's overarching goal is to address two major barriers to electric vehicle adoption: high purchase prices and range anxiety [10][23]. - The company aims to achieve unprecedented cost reductions with the LMR battery, which is crucial for achieving price parity with gasoline vehicles [8][20]. - Ford's electric vehicle sales increased by 11.5% year-over-year in Q1 2025, indicating a strengthening momentum in the electric vehicle market [21]. Group 3: Competitive Landscape and Challenges - The LMR battery technology is seen as a potential game-changer, with the possibility of reducing or eliminating the need for cobalt, thus lowering procurement costs [20]. - Other companies are also researching similar battery formulations, but Ford claims to have addressed key challenges such as voltage decay and gas generation that have hindered LMR commercialization [27][29]. - Despite the advancements, experts remain cautious about the LMR battery's long-term viability due to historical challenges in energy density and thermal stability [26][32].

根据规划，该工厂将向松下采购汽车用圆柱形锂离子电池进行模块化和封装，年产能预计为 10GWh，将用于采用马自达首款电动汽车专用架构的新车型。不过该公司没有确定这款电动汽 车的首次亮相日期，也没有透露任何技术细节。 据悉，马自达正在深入研究一系列电池技术，而不仅仅是采购松下电池。马自达正在内部开发 高密度锂离子电池，到2030年将其应用于PHEV和EV。 （ 来源：搜狐新闻 ） 近日马自达宣布，将在日本山口县岩国市新建汽车电池模块和电池组工厂，计划于2027年度投 产。 点击" 阅读原文 "报名参会！ 圆柱电池巡访： ☆走进国轩高科 ☆走进利维能 ☆走进诺达智慧 ☆走进中泽科技 ☆走进苏州力神 ☆走进睿恩新能源 ☆走进天鹏电源 ☆走进中比新能源 ☆走进天能集团 ☆走进新能安 ☆走进浙江锋锂 ☆走进华立源 ☆走进鹏辉能源 ☆走进欣旺达锂威 ☆走进深圳中基 ☆走进博力威 圆柱电池论坛： 行业首届圆柱电池技术论坛定档2025年2月28日，深圳举办！ 2 起点课理 全球领先的锂电产业智库 平 台 服 务 内 容 品牌服务 研究咨询 资本服务 政府服务 数据 调研 量传 娱乐 研究 报告 版 服务 IPO 规划 招商 服 ...
