What are the three major types of new energy vehicle batteries?

Below are the three major types of new energy vehicle batteries: 1. The first type: NCM ternary lithium batteries (represented by manufacturer "CATL"). 2. The second type: NCA ternary lithium batteries (represented by manufacturer "Panasonic"). 3. The third type: The last type is lithium iron phosphate batteries (represented by manufacturer "BYD"). Below is extended information on the characteristics of new energy vehicles: 1. Hybrid vehicles: Equipped with batteries that can conveniently recover kinetic energy during downhill driving. In urban areas, the internal combustion engine can be shut off, allowing the battery to drive alone, achieving "zero" emissions. 2. Pure electric vehicles: Relatively simple and mature technology, they can be charged wherever there is a power supply. 3. Fuel cell vehicles: Zero or near-zero emissions, reducing water pollution caused by oil leaks, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and operating smoothly with no noise.
I really enjoy tinkering with the batteries of new energy vehicles, and there are mainly three types: lithium-ion batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, and lead-acid batteries. Lithium-ion batteries have high energy density and can provide longer range, which is why most electric vehicles rely on them, but overheating issues need to be watched out for. Nickel-metal hydride batteries are commonly found in hybrid vehicles, like many Toyota models—they are cost-effective and have decent lifespan, but they are a bit heavy. Lead-acid batteries are old-school, bulky, and inefficient, and are hardly used in the main battery systems of new energy vehicles, but they can still work for auxiliary systems. Studying these has taught me that choosing a battery isn’t just about the type; charging speed and safety design also matter. Recently, I’ve picked up some maintenance tips from forums, like regularly checking the cooling system to avoid failures—that’s the smart move.
