📌

Are EV battery trends working in Indonesia?

Global EV battery trends aren’t working in Indonesia’s favor. Nickel-based batteries, once considered essential for long-range EVs, are losing ground. Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries – which are cheaper, more stable, and easier to recycle – now power 40% of EVs sold globally in , up from 32% in . It’s a critical shift.

📌

Can Indonesia still deliver EV batteries?

Still, considering Indonesia’s ambitious downstreaming goals, these reversals have sparked serious doubts over whether it can still deliver. Global EV battery trends aren’t working in Indonesia’s favor. Nickel-based batteries, once considered essential for long-range EVs, are losing ground.
