LFP characteristics
- Better tolerates frequent charging to 100% (Tesla recommends periodic 100% to calibrate SoC).
- Calmer degradation at high SoC compared to NCA/NCM.
- Limitation: typically fitted to RWD only.
Capacity note (CATL generations)
The numbers in the title are a timeline, not different versions that coexist (per the European tff-forum Akkuwiki):
- 2020 (CN) / 2021 (EU) — CATL “LFP55”, ~55 kWh (early batches software-locked to ~54);
- 2021-2024 — CATL “LFP60” (BTF1), ~60 kWh net / ~62 kWh unlocked;
- 2025-2026 — CATL “LFPx / LMFP” (6M / BTF2), 64.5 kWh.
So “62” and “64” are different packs (LFP60 vs the newer LFPx), not the same pack counted two ways.
Separately — BYD Blade ~60 kWh on some Model Y SR 2023-2024 (Berlin/Shanghai).
