Electric and plug-in hybrid cars with LFP batteries

32 cars in our list have an LFP battery named by a source. This is not a complete list: manufacturers often do not publish the chemistry for each trim, and many other cars may also use LFP in some versions. Ask the seller to confirm in writing.

Guide prices are approximate and some may already include the Electric Car Grant. Pure EV range is a typical real-world estimate; plug-in hybrid range is the official electric-only figure. Battery chemistry is shown only where a source names it. *Warranty depends on servicing conditions. "Check" means we have not confirmed it: ask the seller. Reliability: see the Warrantywise Reliability Index (built from used-car repair data, so many new models have no score).

Frequently asked questions

Which is better, LFP or NMC?

Neither is better for everyone. LFP batteries are generally cheaper, safer and longer-lasting, but they lose more range in cold weather and pack less energy per kilo. NMC batteries offer higher energy density, which suits long-range cars, but cost more. Choose LFP for durability and value, NMC for maximum range.

Are LFP batteries safer than NMC?

LFP cells are more thermally stable, which makes them less prone to overheating than nickel-based cells. That is a genuine advantage, but no battery type is risk-free, and pack design, cooling and crash protection matter too. Many manufacturers do not publish the chemistry for each trim, so ask the seller in writing.
