Tesla InsideEVs: USA / Global Here’s what’s in each cell: Cathode: The Tesla Model S battery cathode uses an NCA formulation with the approximate ratio: … Further development should focus on further optimising the composition of the additives, “for example by adjusting the ratio of primary and secondary additives or by introducing ternary mixtures”.
InsideEVs: USA / Global Tesla’s latest battery will force the company to gain a larger portion of the cobalt supply.
""A cobalt-free version on the other hand would cut reliance on a costly and controversial component, which makes batteries stable but poses ethical issues given controversial labour conditions in top producer the Democratic Republic of Congo. Source: The report does not specify whether we are talking about gravimetric or volumetric density (or both).Panasonic produces cylindrical "2170" type cells - nickel-cobalt-aluminium (NCA) chemistry - for Tesla at the While the 20% improvement over five years is significant, probably it will be divided into smaller steps and it seems that the first The Japanese company is ready with improved technology and "Panasonic has already developed technologies resulting in a more than 5% increase in the energy density of “2170” cells.From September, the firm will start converting lines at its factory in Nevada that it operates with Tesla as it prepares to further boost the energy density of the cells, Takamoto said.

""Panasonic Corp plans to... ...commercialize a cobalt-free version “in two to three years”, the head of its U.S. EV battery business said. CATL announced that it is ready to produce the new million-mile battery and Tesla’s Model 3 made at Gigafactory Shanghai is reportedly going to be first to get the new battery.
""To control safety risks associated with higher density and less cobalt, Panasonic is adjusting the composition and design for better thermal stability, Takamoto said.
Tesla
The battery itself contains 7,104 lithium-ion battery cells. Tesla’s Batteries have gone through 3 stages: Stage 1 was from 2009-2012 found in the Roadster and Model S. Stage 2 was from 2016-2018 and powered the Model S Gen II, and the Model X. The Tesla battery pack weighs 1,200 lbs (540 kg), which is equal to about 26% of the car’s total weight.
