Regulations on energy density and pack cycle life

Increasing material cost

- Cost - Safety - Ni/Co supply chain

- Long range/High-end EVs - Stationary storage - e-Bus, e-Bike, e-Motorcycle - Power tools/ performance sensitive applications

NMC Strength - Energy density - Low temperature performance - Power - Strong supply chain - High recycle value

NMC Threat - LFP/high-voltage LNMO - Increasing raw material cost
