Is that the most commonly used type of batteries in EVs?

I'm not sure on the global percentage, but they're becoming far more common. Most of the top selling EVs where I live (Tesla Model Y/3, BYD Atto 3, BYD Dolphin, MG ZS EV) all use lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries.

They have a somewhat lower energy density so they've been avoided, but they're way safer and better eco wise to the point that they're getting uptake
