CATL introduced the LFP battery that can offer a range of 600 km in 10 minutes

While electric cars are becoming increasingly common, battery manufacturers continue to develop more advanced batteries. Chinese battery giant CATL is one of them. Developed by the company Shenxing Plus The battery called is exactly what electric vehicle users want.

It will pave the way for vehicles with a range of 1000 km

Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) This type of battery is affordable and can be charged very quickly. CATL, battery 600 km range for electric vehicles with 10 minutes of charging He says he can provide it. According to the company’s claim 4C According to CLTC measurements, the battery can be charged at 1000 km range It will pave the way for vehicles that can deliver CATL says this charging speed is a world first for LFP batteries.

The concept C here expresses how fast the battery can charge at times its capacity. For example, a 50 kWh battery with a 4C charging speed can be charged at 200 kW.

Energy density equivalent to NMC batteries

LFP batteries are known to be slow, losing performance at low temperatures. CATL’s battery is High charge even at -20°C can offer speeds. CATL announced that the energy density of the battery has also been increased. For this the company 3D honeycomb He states that he has developed materials for the structure. In this way, CATL provides traditional 205 Wh/kg energy density equivalent to lithium-ion (NMC) batteries has managed to reach a figure far beyond that of LFP batteries.

In January, CATL announced that LFP batteries would be phased out by mid-2024. It will reduce the cost per kWh by 50% he explained. If the company can achieve this with Shenxing Plus, it will have taken a big step towards the transition to electric vehicles.

CATL, the world’s largest battery manufacturer, last year 259.7 GWh By producing batteries the size of 36.8% market share got it. Its closest rival, BYD, has a market share of 21%.
