✅ 160 Wh/kg energy density (95% of entry-level LFP)
✅ 6,000 cycles at -30°C
✅ $52/kWh cell cost (40% below lithium)
Deployment Highlights:
BYD's Seagull EV: 300km range, 15-minute ultra-fast charging
Huawei's 5G base stations: 100,000 units deployed across rural China
Raw material advantage: Uses abundant salt & iron instead of lithium/cobalt
Industry Impact:
↗️ 2024 production: 58 GWh (up 380% YoY)
↗️ 2027 projection: $28B market (Benchmark Minerals)
