What are the types of new energy vehicle batteries?
2 Answers
New energy electric vehicle batteries can be broadly categorized into several major types, including lead-acid batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, lithium manganese oxide batteries, lithium iron phosphate batteries, and ternary lithium batteries. Vehicle Types: New energy vehicles refer to those that use unconventional vehicle fuels to provide power. They can be divided into four main categories: pure electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles, and other new energy electric vehicles. The advantage they offer is zero tailpipe emissions. New Energy Vehicle License Plates: Small new energy vehicle license plates feature a gradient green color, while large new energy vehicle license plates are yellow-green dual-colored. Compared to traditional vehicle license plates, new energy vehicle license plates have one additional digit, which helps effectively distinguish them and avoid duplication.
As a driver with years of experience in electric vehicles, I've witnessed significant changes in battery types. Lithium-ion batteries are currently the most popular choice, divided into lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries and ternary lithium batteries. The former, like LFP models, offer excellent safety performance, high-temperature resistance, and lower risk of fire, making them ideal for daily commutes. The latter, such as nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) ternary lithium batteries, boast higher energy density, enabling faster acceleration, though at a higher cost. Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, though older, are highly reliable and commonly found in Toyota hybrids, with a long lifespan. Lead-acid batteries, though less noticeable, power 12V systems like radios and still require maintenance. The emerging solid-state batteries are rumored to be on the horizon, promising faster charging and more stable range—I'm waiting to try them in mass-produced vehicles. Overall, choosing a battery should align with your needs, with safety as the top priority, not just focusing on price.
