Lithium menjadi bahan baku utama dalam pembuatan baterai kendaraan listrik. Material ini memiliki ketahanan dalam menyimpan energi sehingga kendaraan listrik bisa menempuh jarak tempuh sesuai yang diharapkan.

Namun, penggunaan baterai lithium ferro phosphate (LFP) banyak dipilih produsen kendaraan listrik. Ini diakui Menteri Koordinator Bidang Kemaritiman dan Investasi (Menko Marves).

However, said Luhut, this type of battery has a character that is easily affected by extreme weather. "LFP is indeed important, even though it actually affects extreme cold and extreme hot weather. However, manufacturers still see this battery as the best choice at the moment," said Luhut at the inauguration of a lithium battery anode material factory in the Special Economic Zone (KEK) in Kendal , Central Java, as quoted from the Presidential Secretariat YouTube channel.

Responding to this, Luhut said that Indonesia would soon have an LFP battery factory. However, he did not explain in detail about the plan. "With this battery anode factory, the Indonesian lithium battery industry ecosystem will be more complete and in line with the tasks that the President has given us. We are not only developing lithium batteries made from nickel cathodes, but also LFP cathodes. And, an LFP factory is being built in Indonesia. he said.
