【CATL: M3P is not a manganese-based lithium iron phosphate battery, but a ternary lithium battery with phosphate system】Recently, CATL stated in response to investor questions that the M3P battery, composed of manganese-based lithium iron phosphate positive electrode materials, has been utilized in Chery and Huawei's collaborative vehicle models, and is also undergoing development and validation with Tesla, with no specific implementation timeline yet. The ZhiJie S7 becomes the first vehicle model to utilize CATL's M3P battery: the ZhiJie S7 (2024 model) Long-endurance version Max, and the ZhiJie S7 (2024 model) four-wheel drive flagship version Max RS are both equipped with "ternary lithium ion + lithium iron manganese phosphate battery" variants. However, CATL clarified that the M3P battery is not strictly a manganese-based lithium iron phosphate battery; the battery's positive electrode materials also contain other metallic elements, and the company refers to it as a ternary lithium battery with a phosphate system.
