Production efficiencies have made Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries the preferred choice for many EVs.
While LFP batteries are cheaper, they lack the energy density of NMC chemistry. For this reason, they are often used in lower-range models.
However, this is changing quickly, with a growing number of extended-range vehicles using LFP.

Which Teslas have LFP?
Even though it says (2019-2023) – only some Model 3s manufactured after September 2021 have LFP. Tesla publishes very little data on batteries used in vehicles.
To check, go to the charging screen.
- If it has an option for a 100% charge limit, then the car has an LFP battery.
- You can also check the VIN. If the 7th character is an E, then it is LFP (source).
Kia EVs?
The Kia EV5 has LFP, but only in some markets.
