Tim: You will be surprised (in a good way) how cheap it will be for the ER battery

I hope the "Extended Range" battery in the Fathom is LFP as well. LFP range is real range because you can use all of it as often as suits you.

And I would love it if it were at least 25KWH bigger.

I watched a few videos yesterday on the Fathom and in one of them it was absolutely stated that the initial battery both the standard and extended range will be LFP.

Alan: Battery Chemistry, LFP as our first one

Video queued to discusion start just press play

That's great news.
LFP range translates to non-EV people better, because petro vehicles range IS based on the amount of gallons that fit in the tank.

One of the first "hard lessons" for the first EV'r is that you are taught that 300 mile range is really ~240, because of the "best practices" they are taught for charging.

Basically don't fill it up, and don't run it too low.

LFP? You just treat it like a gas tank. 300 miles range is real range.

We need a highway range figure as well telling us what we get going a steady 75MPH.
