The Electrifying Divide in Battery Chemistries for Construction EVs
BOSTON, July 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The success of electric vehicles in the construction industry will largely be determined by battery prices being low enough that the total cost of ownership is cheaper than diesel alternatives. IDTechEx’s new report, “Electric Vehicles in Construction 2023-2043“, shows that there is a battery price tipping point, under which it will be cheaper over the vehicle lifetime to operate an EV. Selecting the right chemistry then will be imperative for getting a low enough vehicle price. So why is a clear dichotomy seen between the batteries being deployed in China compared to Europe?
Electric vehicles in construction are an emerging market. Despite this, IDTechEx has built a database of more than 100 example makes and models across seven different construction vehicle categories. However, with lots of vehicles still yet to be released, only 49 database entries have confirmed chemistry information. With Europe and China being more established markets for electric construction vehicles, conclusions about battery chemistry trends from OEMs in these regions can be made. What is obvious at this early stage is that Europe heavily favors NMC, while China has chosen LFP.
Battery Requirements in Construction Vehicles
So why would one select NMC, LFP, or even lead acid, for that matter? Electrifying construction equipment is a fascinating and nuanced topic. The priorities for a battery are huge capacities at low costs. With some of these machines being gargantuan, and usually requiring concrete counterbalances to handle the massive loads they encounter, battery weight isn’t so much of an issue. Power density is also not much of a priority. Unlike electric cars, construction vehicles do not tend to have large spikes in power demand and are more likely to operate at a steady rate for a long time. As an example, the Tesla Model S has a ~60kWh battery and ~210kW motor power, meaning its battery must be able to deliver a peak of 3.5C (power divided by capacity). This is a typical requirement of road cars; hence, they tend to favor power-dense chemistries like NMC. By contrast, the Volvo L25 electric (an electric compact loader) has a battery capacity of 40kWh and a maximum motor power of 36kW, so the battery is only required to discharge at a maximum of 0.9C, well below road car expectations.
The same is true when you move to the really big stuff. The XCMG XE270E is a 27-tonne excavator leviathan with a battery capacity of 525kWh, but its motor is a measly 140kW (~0.27C). In fact, research in IDTechEx’s report, “Electric Vehicles in Construction 2023-2043“, shows that the vast majority of electric construction vehicles have a peak discharge requirement of less than 1C, with one quarter of vehicles requiring less than 0.25C peak discharge.
A low peak discharge requirement can be fulfilled by lead acid batteries, which is likely why it had a brief moment in the sun in the early days of construction electrification. The European examples that used lead acid were mainly from the mid-2010s, at which point lithium-ion technologies were still scaling and were much more expensive than lead acid. However, these vehicles were seriously limited, with low endurance and slow recharge times, making their use a challenge. Lead acid was quickly replaced with lithium-ion as it became more financially viable.
Both NMC and LFP offer the required performance for construction, happily coping with the peak discharging requirements and having high enough volumetric and gravimetric densities to fit in the machines. Speaking broadly, NMC tends to be a higher-performance battery than LFP, with better energy and power densities but coming at a premium. It would make sense then for the industry to select LFP. It offers all the needed performance while helping minimize the premium of building an electric vehicle, the number one priority for electric construction vehicles. Why, then, does the European market mostly use NMC?
Why is NMC dominant in Europe and LFP in China?
The best explanation is that it has been a case of availability. Most of the electric construction development so far has used battery pack suppliers, such as Northvolt, Forsee and Volta, and most of their products use NMC. IDTechEx’s research finds that over 75% of the offerings from European and North American pack manufacturers use NMC. These companies have been supplying a range of industries, including heavy-duty road vehicles like buses and trucks. These vehicles will have quite high peak power to deal with acceleration events, hills, etc. and will likely suit NMC better. IDTechEx speculates that this is why Europe has been mostly choosing NMC so far, but with battery pricing being a key factor in the success of electric construction vehicles, it is likely that there will be increased LFP uptake in the future.
Meanwhile, in China, LFP is already the dominant chemistry choice. China already has a good supply of LFP solution. This has risen as its vehicle fleet has rapidly been electrified, and it needed a cheap solution that could provide acceptable energy density (vehicle range) and keep the vehicle affordable. By contrast, European and North American electric vehicle markets have focussed on maximizing vehicle range, normally opting for the more expensive NMC and anticipating consumers will be more comfortable with the additional cost. This is good news for China’s electric construction industry, which has been able to build very large batteries relatively quickly and deploy some huge machines, such as the XCMG example already mentioned.
Unfortunately, there is not much data concerning which North American or APAC-based OEMs favor battery chemistries. This is mostly because OEMs in this region are only just beginning their electrification journeys. North America is a prime example; giants of the industry CAT and John Deere have made a recent push with electric construction vehicles showcased at BAUMA 2022, CES 2023, and CONEXPO 2023. However, these are still some years away from production, and battery chemistries are yet to be confirmed. However, an educated guess would suggest that CAT will likely use NMC for similar reasons to Europe.
Sodium ion, a Future Candidate?
Another possible contender for the construction industry is sodium-ion. This is an emerging chemistry and does not have an established market yet. The key thing to know is that sodium-based solutions can be produced at lower costs than lithium ones, but they will not have the same performance. In this respect, they share the qualities of LFP. The issue is that they are not yet a scaled solution, so they are more expensive than both LFP and NMC while having worse performance. Sodium, therefore, does not make sense in the construction industry for the time being. However, when scaled and delivering the promised price reduction, it could be a prime match for the needs of this nuanced market.
The electric construction industry is still nascent, with few vehicles in series production. However, if recent activity and announcements are to be believed, then the number of machines available in the next few years is going to explode. In IDTechEx’s report, “Electric Vehicles in Construction 2023-2043“, a 10-year CAGR of 37% is forecasted, with the electric construction machine industry growing to a value of US$150 billion in 2043. All of this growth is going to give rise to a significant battery demand, and whether it be NMC, LFP, or perhaps even Na-ion, the evolution of this industry is going to be electrifying.

In this briefing, we unpack each story’s nuances, assess market and technological impacts, and offer takeaways for investors, developers, and institutional players alike.
1. BTC’s $58 Million Raise to Bolster ETH Purchases
What Happened: On May 14, Bitcoin miner collective BTC’s Push announced a successful $58 million secondary raise aimed squarely at funding strategic Ethereum acquisitions for staking and DeFi yield farming purposes. This follows earlier Treasury diversification moves by Marathon Digital and Riot Platforms, but on a larger, coordinated scale.
Source: The Block
The Mechanics of the Raise
-
Participants & Structure: The round drew in leading crypto funds—Multicoin, Paradigm, and Pantera—via convertible note instruments, offering 8% interest and a conversion price tied to a 10% discount on ETH’s 30-day volume-weighted average price.
-
Allocation Strategy: Proceeds will funnel into direct ETH purchases on major spot venues and institutional OTC desks, with a tranche reserved for Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSDs)—including Lido and Rocket Pool tokens—to capture liquid yields.
-
Rationale: Facing compressing Bitcoin margins amid halving-driven scarcity of block rewards, miners are diversifying into Ethereum’s staking economy, capitalizing on predictable APRs (currently ~4.5%) and burgeoning DeFi revenue streams.
Market Implications
-
Cross-Chain Treasury Management: BTC miner allocators validating ETH staking signals an era where major protocol economies interweave on the balance sheets of institutional crypto actors.
-
Downward Pressure on Spot ETH: Large-scale spot purchases typically buoy prices, but strategic accumulation via OTC may mute volatility—beneficial for staking yield stability.
-
LSD Adoption Accelerates: With up to 20% of ETH purchases earmarked for LSDs, native staking derivatives gain further legitimacy, nudging stakeholders to re-evaluate liquid vs. locked staking trade-offs.
Opinion & Outlook
This raise epitomizes institutional sophistication in digital-asset portfolio engineering. Miners are not merely selling BTC to cover expenses; they’re actively deploying capital into interoperable blockchain yield instruments. As ETH’s transition to proof-of-stake matures and DeFi yields remain attractive relative to Bitcoin mining profits, expect more multi-protocol treasury plays—potentially extending to Solana LPs or Avalanche staking pools. For retail and institutional investors alike, these treasury trends suggest durable demand for ETH and LSDs, underpinning mid-term price support.
2. Pi Network Launches $100 Million Ecosystem Fund
What Happened: The Pi Network team unveiled a $100 million ecosystem fund dedicated to nurturing dApp developers, infrastructure providers, and NFT artists building within its rapidly scaling mobile-first blockchain.
Source: Cointelegraph
Fund Structure & Goals
-
Capital Allocation:
-
40% to Core Infrastructure: Node incentives, RPC services, indexing tools.
-
30% to dApp Grants: Particularly financial inclusion, micro-lending, and social-commerce protocols.
-
20% to NFT & Creator Programs: Artist residencies, marketplace subsidies.
-
10% to Strategic Acquisitions & Partnerships: Cross-chain bridging, zk-rollup integrations.
-
-
Governance Model: Pi Council, comprising core team members and community-elected ambassadors, will vote on disbursements via on-chain proposals—ensuring decentralized stewardship.
-
Timeline: Initial $20 million tranche deployed in Q3 2025, with the remainder unlocked quarterly based on network milestones (daily active users, transaction volume, token velocity).
Relevance & Potential
-
Mass-User Onboarding: With over 50 million active mobile miners, Pi Network boasts one of the largest captive user bases. Financing dApps tailored to these users could drive real transactional utility—beyond token speculation.
-
Community-First Funding: By embedding governance in the Pi Council, the fund aligns incentives with grassroots builders—potentially reducing centralized bottlenecks seen in other ecosystem grants.
-
Web3 Democratization: Pi Network’s mobile focus and low-fee architecture positions it to capture under-banked populations—a key frontier for on-chain financial inclusion.
Opinion & Outlook
The $100 million fund is a bold statement: Pi Network is shifting from token distribution hype to ecosystem activation. Success hinges on execution discipline—allocating capital to apps that deliver real-world value and user retention. Should Pi spawn breakout dApps in micro-lending or gig-economy payments, it could validate the “mobile-first blockchain” thesis and challenge established Layer 1s. Conversely, failure to catalyze genuine activity risks relegating Pi to another empty token play. Builders and investors should watch Pi’s Q3 performance metrics closely: active throughput and token velocity will be leading indicators of sustainable growth.
3. Blockchain Regulation & the Public Sector: Three Levers to Drive Stablecoins
What Happened: In a detailed analysis for Funds Society, blockchain policy experts identified three critical levers governments can deploy to accelerate stablecoin adoption in public-sector use cases: 1) Regulatory clarity via bespoke stablecoin frameworks, 2) Central bank digital currency (CBDC) interoperability mandates, and 3) Fiscal stimulus pilot programs.
Source: Funds Society
The Three Levers Explained
-
Bespoke Stablecoin Regulation:
-
Crafting targeted laws—distinct from securities or money-transmission statutes—can streamline issuer licensing, reserve requirements, and custody standards.
-
-
CBDC Interoperability Mandates:
-
Mandating APIs that allow stablecoins to seamlessly transact with emerging CBDCs (e.g., the e-Euro) prevents fragmentation and spurs innovation.
-
-
Stimulus & Grant Pilots:
-
Direct funding of social benefits via approved stablecoins (e.g., for disaster relief or tax rebates) bootstrap user familiarity and network liquidity.
-
Broader Implications
-
Public-Private Collaboration: Co-designing frameworks with established issuers (Circle, Paxos) and DeFi protocols (MakerDAO) ensures regulations accommodate on-chain composability.
-
Financial Inclusion: Well-regulated stablecoins can deliver faster, cheaper payouts to under-served communities—particularly across EU-Africa corridors.
-
Monetary Stability: Clear guidelines on reserve management and auditing bolster confidence, reducing redemption risk and contagion from issuer failures.
Opinion & Outlook
Stablecoins are the on-ramp to blockchain-based public finance. Yet, regulatory ambiguity has constrained adoption to niche corporate pilots. By wielding these three levers, policymakers can foster a harmonized, innovation-friendly environment—balancing risk mitigation with pace. For blockchain firms, engaging early in consultations and sandbox programs is vital. And investors should track jurisdictions piloting stablecoin grants—these will likely become blueprints for global standard-setting.
4. JPMorgan Bridges Blockchain and TradFi in Landmark Pilot
What Happened: JPMorgan executed its first public blockchain pilot facilitating an institutional cross-border payment between its New York and London operations, using Quorum-based channels and a tokenized USD settlement layer.
Source: CryptoSlate
Pilot Details
-
Settlement Tokens: JPM Coin (ERC-20), temporarily bridged via a permissioned Ethereum sidechain.
-
Transaction Flow:
-
NY branch issues JPM Coin to London counterparty.
-
Smart contract escrow holds tokens until KYC/AML checks complete.
-
Tokens redeemed and fiat disbursed in local currencies.
-
-
Performance Metrics: Settlement finality in <2 minutes (vs. 3–5 business days for SWIFT), throughput of 1,000 txs/sec, and integrated compliance reporting.
-
Next Steps: Scaling to 10+ global corridors, public-private partnerships with central banks exploring wholesale CBDC pilots.
Significance
-
TradFi Embrace of Permissioned Chains: A tacit acknowledgment that blockchain can enhance—not replace—existing rails, offering efficiency gains while preserving compliance controls.
-
Tokenized Fiat’s Viability: Demonstrates tokenization is not academic—banks can leverage stable, permissioned tokens to slash operational costs and risks.
-
CBDC Synergies: Success of JPM Coin pilots lays groundwork for eventual CBDC–stablecoin interoperability and reduces friction in wholesale liquidity management.
Opinion & Outlook
JPMorgan’s pilot is more than a proof-point; it’s a template for global banks to integrate blockchain pockets within legacy infrastructure, extracting value without wholesale disruption. Traditional financial institutions should monitor results closely—particularly the compliance integration and counterparty risk profiles. Meanwhile, DeFi advocates must acknowledge that permissioned blockchains will coexist with public networks, forming a hybrid financial ecosystem. As central banks advance CBDC initiatives, banks already comfortable with tokenized settlement gain a critical head start.
5. OKX Launches Alt Manchester City Campaign
What Happened: Leading crypto exchange OKX unveiled a multi-year sponsorship campaign with Manchester City FC, launching in-stadium NFT activations, fan token incentives, and Web3 watch parties across global OKX lounges.
Source: PR Newswire
Campaign Highlights
-

Market & Cultural Impact
-
Mainstream Awareness: Tapping Premier League’s 1 billion+ fanbase amplifies crypto legitimacy beyond niche circles.
-
Fan Token Renaissance: After token hype waned in 2022, OKX’s integrated approach—blending NFTs and real-world utility—may reignite engagement.
-
Regional Growth: Local activations in Asia and Middle East signal OKX’s strategic focus on fast-growing crypto markets hungry for experiential marketing.
Opinion & Outlook
OKX’s Manchester City partnership exemplifies crypto’s turn toward lifestyle branding, where fan loyalty and digital asset ownership intertwine. Success metrics will extend beyond token trading volumes to user-retention, event attendance, and charitable outcomes. Other exchanges and NFT projects should note the power of hybrid physical–digital activations: real-world events lend tangibility to virtual communities, critical for long-term adoption. As sports franchises increasingly seek blockchain partners, expect a new wave of Web3 stadiums, in which every seat becomes a node in a global fan network.
Conclusion: Five Takeaways for Blockchain Stakeholders
-
Inter-Protocol Treasury Moves: BTC miners backing ETH demonstrates that savvy actors view blockchains as interlinked asset classes—prompting reevaluation of single-chain investment strategies.
-
Community-Governed Ecosystem Funds: Pi Network’s $100 million push underscores the necessity of decentralized governance and milestone-based funding to catalyze genuine on-chain activity.
-
Regulation as Enabler: Structured stablecoin frameworks, CBDC interoperability, and stimulus grants illustrate how public-sector levers can accelerate blockchain’s maturation and real-world use cases.
-
TradFi Co-Optation of Blockchain: JPMorgan’s pilot shows that traditional banks will increasingly embed permissioned tokens and smart-contract rails into core operations—integration, not replacement, is the watchword.
