Battery manufacturing company CATL has just introduced an LFP battery version for electric vehicles that can go up to 1,000km
Not only can it go 600km with 10 minutes of charging, but the new LFP battery from CATL can help the car go 1,000km on a full charge. Electric vehicle battery supplier CATL has just introduced a new battery called Shenxing Plus at the Beijing auto show with many improvements in performance and charging speed. This type of battery uses a lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) compound, along with a 3D printed honeycomb structure at the anode, helping to increase energy density.
In addition, the battery pack is equipped with new granular gradation technology for the cathode, helping to improve the energy density of the battery and increase its lifespan. The shell of the Shenxing Plus battery pack is monolithic, thereby optimizing the space inside the battery, increasing energy capacity without affecting the size or weight of the battery.
CATL representative said the new battery pack has an energy density of 205 Wh/kg, providing a range of more than 1,000 km in a test in China. In addition, the battery's fast charging ability has also been improved, with just 10 minutes of charging, the battery will provide enough energy to help the car travel 600km, equivalent to 1km for every second of charging.
However, CATL has not provided a timeline for when electric vehicle models using new battery technology will be launched on the market. They have also started building the new Shenxing super-fast charging network, which will become the largest super-fast charging service in China.
