CATL Unveils Three Revolutionary EV Batteries
CATL has debuted three revolutionary electrical car batteries throughout its inaugural Tremendous Tech Day, highlighting the
- Freevoy Twin-Energy Battery
- Naxtra: the world’s first mass-produced sodium-ion battery
- Second-generation Shenxing Superfast Charging Battery
Moreover, a 24V begin/cease Naxtra battery aimed toward heavy-duty vans was launched.
Freevoy Twin-Energy Battery
The Freevoy Twin-Energy Battery boasts a sophisticated cross-chemistry design that overcomes the boundaries of conventional battery applied sciences. By merging CATL’s dual-power structure with self-forming anode expertise, it provides two impartial power zones. This twin structure allows a number of capabilities akin to excessive and low voltage capabilities, thermal administration, and enhanced security, thereby making certain a secure and dependable energy provide for autos, particularly within the upcoming L3 and L4 autonomous driving period.
The self-forming anode expertise permits for a big improve in power density—as much as 60% volumetric and 50% gravimetric—facilitating longer ranges by optimizing battery house. This expertise is suitable with varied supplies, together with NCM techniques, which may elevate power density past 1000 Wh/L.
Naxtra Battery
The Naxtra Battery marks a breakthrough in sodium-ion expertise, making it the primary to succeed in mass manufacturing. Its use of sodium enhances security and reduces reliance on lithium, shifting power methods towards better independence. The Naxtra line consists of:
- Naxtra Passenger EV Battery
- 24V Heavy-Obligation Truck Built-in Begin-Cease Battery
Each can function in excessive temperatures, from -40°C to +70°C, making certain excessive efficiency even in harsh circumstances. The passenger EV variant retains a outstanding 90% usable energy at -40°C.
With an power density of 175Wh/kg—main amongst sodium-ion batteries—it supplies a variety of 500 kilometers and withstands over 10,000 cycles, considerably reducing upkeep prices. Security is prioritized with the Naxtra design, eliminating combustion-supporting supplies for a breakthrough in battery integrity.
Superior Twin-Energy Options
Three new dual-power options had been additionally launched:
- Sodium-LFP Twin-Energy Battery: Combines Naxtra and LFP for distinctive low-temperature efficiency.
- LFP-LFP Twin-Energy Battery: {Couples} the Shenxing Superfast Charging Battery with LFP, reaching an electrical vary of 1,000 kilometers for sedans, with commuting prices as little as 0.1 yuan per kilometer.
- NCM-LFP/NCM-NCM Twin-Energy Battery: Integrates an NCM battery with LFP, reaching a peak charging fee of 12C and sustaining over 600KW energy even at 20% SOC. This model boasts a capability of over 180 kWh, breaking the 1,500-kilometer vary mark for sedans.
Shenxing Superfast Charging Battery
CATL’s second-generation Shenxing Superfast Charging Battery is the primary LFP battery to succeed in each an 800 km vary and a 12C peak charging fee. With a peak energy of 1.3 MW, it will probably present 2.5 kilometers of vary per second, drastically decreasing charging wait instances. Even at -10°C, it fees from 5% to 80% SOC in simply quarter-hour, outperforming present business requirements.
This battery maintains excessive energy output throughout varied temperatures and cost ranges, delivering 830kW even in suboptimal circumstances.
Conclusion
With these developments, CATL continues to set business benchmarks in battery expertise, paving the best way for safer, extra environment friendly electrical autos within the redefined automotive panorama.
