But these are improvements for the future that may not happen, and cobalt-free lithium iron phosphate batteries are here now. Tesla will be using LFP for the batteries in its Chinese Model 3, after receiving government approval to do so. It is estimated that using LFP batteries will allow a 15-20% reduction in manufacturing cost.
No, lithium-ion batteries do not have to use cobalt. Lithium-ion chemistries without cobalt include: In 2020, according to Reuters, Chinese battery maker CATL announced the development of an EV battery containing zero nickel or cobalt, which are typically key ingredients.

As the name suggests, LFP batteries contain iron and phosphates which are very common in the Earth’s crust. While iron is abundant, North America needs the availability of battery grade purified phosphoric acid (PPA) production which is the key material in LFP batteries. LFP batteries contain neither nickel nor cobalt.
A couple of months ago, it was revealed that Tesla was working with CATL on lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, and these could be the real gamechanger. LFP batteries don’t use cobalt and have a roadmap to push well past the magical $100 per kWh (wholesale) that is considered the threshold for EVs being cheaper than ICE vehicles.
This is why nearly half of Tesla vehicles produced in Q1 were equipped with a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, containing no nickel or cobalt. Currently, LFP batteries are used in most of our standard range vehicle products, as well as commercial energy storage applications.
Lithium-ion batteries with this new organic cathode material also charged up faster than their cobalt-containing counterparts, while still having a comparable storage capacity.
