They are better in every aspect, except they are slightly heavier. EVs would be cheaper, have better longevity and safety.

I believe it is a product of geopolitical relationships. Europe is friendlier with China than NA. China has much easier access to Nickel and Europe is happy to take Chinese batteries. North America is trying to compete with Chinese production and LFP is a strategic choice to make it easier for our manufacturing base
