CATL presents the Shenxing Plus electric car battery - and overtakes the competition

Charge a range of 600 km in 10 minutes: This is the electric car battery that combats range anxiety

The world's largest manufacturer of electric car batteries, CATL, has presented its latest generation of batteries. It is designed to enable ranges of over 1,000 kilometers.

The Chinese manufacturer of electric car batteries, CATL, is promising a new dimension in terms of range: At the Beijing auto show, the company presented a lithium iron phosphate battery (LFP) with a range of more than 1,000 kilometers on a single charge.

The "Shenxing Plus" battery is the world's first LFP battery with such a range, said Gao Huan, head of technology for the electric car division. This is made possible by the high energy density of 205 Wh/kg for LFP batteries. This means that it almost reaches the level of conventional lithium nickel manganese cobalt batteries (NMC), but is significantly cheaper to manufacture and safer to operate.

The "Shenxing Plus" charges enough energy for one kilometer in one second, or enough energy for 600 kilometers after 10 minutes at the charging station.

Range anxiety, i.e. the worry of breaking down due to a lack of charging options, is a factor that still deters buyers of electric cars. CATL is now showing that even relatively inexpensive LFP batteries can enable very long ranges.

The latest battery technology will initially be introduced in premium models, but will then also be used in cheaper models.

Previous version manages 700 kilometers

LFP batteries are more environmentally friendly than conventional lithium-ion batteries, which have often been used in electric cars to date. The previous version of CATL's Shenxing battery, which was released last year and has a range of 700 kilometers, has so far been used in four car models, Gao added. By the end of the year, 50 more electric car models are to be equipped with it.

CATL, the world's largest manufacturer of electric car batteries, which also produces in Germany, achieved increasing profits in the first quarter after a decline at the end of last year. According to data from the consulting firm Counterpoint Research, more than two-thirds of the world's battery capacity comes from Chinese manufacturers.
