nobody else is using cylindrical cells in volume for automotive. What other industries would even use 2170s in any sort of volume? power tools?
i was under the understanding that everybody else of any consequence is going pouch cells which is basically a different market.
(chinese automakers like byd, nio, etc might be the only exception where i haven't read too much about their sourcing)
2170s are the preferred form factor for ebikes and other ultra-lightweight electric vehicles. That’s more than 10gWh if you assume more than 20m worldwide production...
