The confusion could be that the packaging has changed from pouch to prismatic cells Below is a screenshot of an interview from a volvo representative. The polestar 3 shares the volvo spa platform with volvo ex90 Lotus has its own derivative of the sea platform called epa Sea and epa has many similarities while spa and sea is quite different. T of the use phase of the polestar 3 long range dual motor model year 2025 has decreased compared to the impact from the previous model year
This is partly due to (i) the energy consumption per km is lower and primarily (ii) due to that the 2024 iea steps scenario by the iea anticipates an incr Learn which chemistry offers best range, cost, safety, and longevity for your electric vehicle. Polestar uses nmc ( nickel manganese cobalt) battery cells, which perform better in cold weather compared to lfp (lithium iron phosphate) alternatives One of the major weaknesses of nmc batteries is their higher susceptibility to thermal runaway and fire hazards Lfp batteries, in contrast, have a higher thermal stability (270°c compared to 210°c for nmc), making them safer and less prone to overheating. Polestar has identified that one or more cell modules in the high voltage battery have been drained below the allowed voltage level
The corrective action is to identify any defective cell modules by performing a component test in vida. Chemistry affects energy density, cycle life, thermal behavior, cost and the system requirements for bms and thermal management This guide compares common cathode and anode families (lfp, nmc, lco, lto, graphite, silicon) and gives procurement teams practical steps to. As the battery landscape expands, the technical challenge for engineers is not to select the best chemistry overall, but to match each one to the right system requirements.
