Such CATL is focusing on developing LFP batteries that do not contain expensive metals such as nickel and cobalt. The LFP battery is a type of lithium-ion battery that uses lithium, iron, and phosphorus on the positive electrode side. Although it is excellent in terms of durability and price, it has a bottleneck in terms of low energy density and poor performance in low-temperature environments. It was.
However, in recent years, the problem of LFP batteries is being resolved, and Tesla and others are actively adopting LFP batteries. CATL says that the newly announced Shenxing 'embodies the perfect balance of long cruising range and easy charging,' claiming that it is an LFP battery that solves these problems.
Shenxing can achieve a cruising range of 700 km or more with one charge, and can run 400 km even with a short charge of 10 minutes. Also, it seems that it is possible to charge up to 80% in 30 minutes even in an environment with a low temperature of -10 degrees.
CATL is expected to enter Shenxing's mass production by the end of 2023 and start shipping to the market in the first quarter of 2024. CATL Chief Scientific Officer Wu Kai said at the launch event, 'The future of EV battery technology must be firmly entrenched in the global technology frontier, not just for economic benefits. 'As people move from pioneering users to regular users, advanced technologies should be made available to everyone so that everyone can enjoy the fruits of innovation.'
