Reply to comment by Ancient_Persimmon in Ford’s EVs are getting faster charging and more affordable batteries thanks to new chemistry by Ssider69

So the individual cells may have a slower max charge rate but I believe LFP generates less heat so at a pack level they most likely can hit higher charge rates without hitting thermal limits.

So the energy density at the cell is lower, but due to better thermal performance you can get similar pack level energy density.

Dude, that's not the chemistry being discussed.

LiFePo4 and LFP are the same just different abbreviations.
