A Chinese company, SVOLT has claimed that it is ready to start producing a cobalt-free battery at scale.

SVOLT made the announcement at the Chengdu Motor Show, the firm showed off an 82.5KWh capacity power pack inside a vehicle from Chinese automaker Great Wall Motors.

SVOLT said that under normal temperature, its battery can deliver approximately 373 miles of range on a single charge and allow a car to accelerate from zero to 60 miles per hour in under five seconds.

The company state that the battery is “expected” to be debuted to cars that go on sale in the Chines market but didn't offer a timeline of when that might happen, nor did it say just how many cobalt-free power packs it can manufacture at the moment.

According to Electrek, most of the Model 3 units Tesla sells in China feature a lithium iron phosphate battery made by Contemporary Amperex Technology.  It should be noted that other companies are making cobalt-free batteries at scale.
