We have some evidence that they're using Samsung's latest high-nickel NCA chemistry. With the large packs that Rivian is using, they really can't afford the extra weight and volume of LFP. LFP is mostly going to be used in stationary storage, shorter range cars (where the energy density is not as important because the packs are smaller), scooters, etc. Cars looking for max range won't likely ever use LFP.While it's really unlikely, it could be they are using different battery chemistry that is less susceptible to damage when fully charge. Tesla, for example, says it's ok to always charge to 100% on their LFP chemistry Model 3's (which are only manufactured in China for the SR+ cars so far).
Or they're going to have a large buffer.That would be interesting.
I'm guessing it's just miscommunication with CS. We will see soon though.
