Re:150kWh NIO ES6 Battery (2023) by pornel on Friday February 23, 2024 @07:39AM (#39479809)
I don't think you can just scale everything linearly by kWh. Total manufacturing emissions need to include all other car components, and there's literally a ton of them, plus overheads of running manufacturing plants, transport, etc.

Plus they're claiming a significant mass reduction, which if true, should mean that the battery doesn't use as much raw material as a simple scaling of older tech would suggest.
