NMC batteries are already common in EVs. I’d bet that it’s the most common chemistry by far. Most Teslas have NMC batteries for example, with the shorter range ones more recently moving to LFP.

The trade-offs you list are real, but we already have data showing NMC batteries lasting many miles (1,000 cycles at 250 miles per cycle is a long way) and fire risks of EVs have already been shown to be many times less than ICE vehicles.
