CATL Launches World’s First 4C Super-Fast Charging Battery: 400km Range in 10 Minutes
What if you could charge your EV and gain 400km of range in just 10 minutes?
Chinese battery supplier CATL has revolutionized the electric vehicle (EV) industry with the introduction of the world’s first 4C super-fast charging lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery. This groundbreaking battery is capable of providing 400km of range from just a 10-minute charge. CATL, known for supplying batteries to renowned companies like Tesla and Mercedes-Benz, aims to combat range anxiety and propel the era of EV super-fast charging.
CATL, the leading Chinese battery supplier, has unleashed a game-changer with the launch of the world’s first 4C super-fast charging lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery. This revolutionary battery, codenamed Shenxing, promises to reshape the EV landscape.
With a mere 10-minute charge, CATL’s Shenxing battery is capable of delivering an impressive 400km of range. Imagine the possibilities! You can pop into a coffee shop, grab a cup of joe, and return to your vehicle with a significantly boosted battery. No more wasting hours waiting for your EV to recharge.
But wait, there’s more! Not only does the Shenxing battery offer lightning-fast charging, but it also allows EVs to travel over 700km on a single full charge. This means less time spent at charging stations and more time on the road, exploring new horizons.
CATL plans to have the Shenxing battery in production by the end of 2023, making it available for EVs as early as the first quarter of 2024. EV enthusiasts and industry insiders are eagerly awaiting its arrival, as it promises to be a game-changer for the EV market.
What about different charging conditions, you ask? CATL has got you covered. Even in freezing temperatures as low as -10°C, their advanced cell temperature control technology ensures a 0-80% charge in just 30 minutes. No more worrying about cold weather affecting your EV’s range.
The secret behind the extraordinary performance of the Shenxing battery lies in CATL’s cutting-edge technology. By combining their latest fast-ion ring and super electronic network cathode technology with a new superconducting electrolyte formula and fully nano-crystallized LFP cathode material, they have created a powerhouse of a battery.
CATL’s primary goal with the Shenxing battery is to combat range anxiety, a common concern among EV owners. Range anxiety refers to the fear of running out of battery power before reaching a charging station. With their super-fast charging technology, CATL aims to alleviate this fear and provide EV owners with peace of mind.
As Dr. Wu Kai, the chief scientist at CATL, aptly puts it, “As EV consumers shift from pioneering users to ordinary users, we should make advanced technology accessible for all and enable everyone to savour the fruits of innovation.” CATL’s commitment to making advanced technology accessible to all is evident in their groundbreaking battery development.
CATL’s batteries have already made their mark on the automotive industry, with thousands of vehicles on the roads worldwide powered by their batteries. But CATL is not stopping there. They have set their sights on the skies as well.
In May 2023, CATL made waves with the announcement of a new battery technology that could be used in passenger aircraft. This energy-dense battery was a breakthrough in aviation technology, and an automotive version was already in the works. Production of the automotive version is expected to commence in 2023, further solidifying CATL’s position as an industry leader.
With CATL at the forefront of battery innovation, the future of EVs and energy storage looks brighter than ever. The Shenxing battery is just the beginning, and we can’t help but wonder what other groundbreaking technologies CATL has up its sleeve.
