Electric car Mini crossover BAIC EX3. The Chinese electric vehicle BAIC EX3 has recently been upgraded and is now powered by a Guoxuan NCM battery with an energy density of 200Wh/kg. This is the most energy-intensive battery for a mass electric vehicle.
Guoxuan is already known to produce the most energy-intensive cobalt-free LFP (LiFePO4) batteries, and now this Chinese battery cell maker, partly owned by Volkswagen, is proving that it can also produce extremely energy-efficient NCM batteries.
