In Hong Kong, the Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. (CATL), the world's largest manufacturer of batteries for electric vehicles, has presented an improved battery. This new technology should offer an even longer range than the advanced technology of byd .

impressive range and charging time

Both technologies boast that their batteries can charge electric vehicles in just five minutes. But on Monday Catl set a new scale with the announcement of his new ShenXing battery: this has a range of 320 miles, which is about 70 miles more than the extended range of 250 miles at BYD. For comparison: Tesla's supercharger only deliver 200 miles after a load of 15 minutes.

innovations for a better driving experience

"We are again expanding the limits of performance," said Gao Huan, Chief Technology Officer from Catl, during the company of the company in Shanghai. "Our goal is to make the Catl ShenXing supercharging battery as a standard for electric vehicles and to offer users a more convenient and free travel experience."

CATL announced his innovation just one month after the groundbreaking introduction of BYD, which underlines the intensive competition in China's electric vehicle sector. This competition drives the innovations and ensures low prices.

new battery technologies on the market

The improved ShenXing battery has a total battery capacity of 500 miles and was introduced together with a new sodium-ion battery, the Naxtra. Catl praised Naxtra as the cheaper and safer alternative to lithium and lead-acid batteries.

CATL, which supplies a large number of car brands such as Tesla, BMW, Volkswagen and Ford, was the largest provider of electric car batteries worldwide for the eighth time in 2024, with a market share of 38 %, according to Sne research . BYD follows Catl with a share of 17.2 %.

global Expansion and future plans

in a for a planned second number in Hong Kong stated that her batteries were used in every third electric vehicle worldwide by the end of last year and drive around 17 million vehicles. After listing in Shenzhen, the Chinese battery giant is now aiming for further listing in Hong Kong to expand its global presence.

GAO emphasized that the new ShenXing battery will drive more than 67 electric vehicle models this year, but did not name any concrete models. He also mentioned that the battery works well even in extremely cold weather and reaches a load of 80 % of 5 % in just 15 minutes, even at temperatures of -10 degrees Celsius (14 degrees Fahrenheit).

sustainability and security in focus

As far as the Naxtra battery is concerned, it promises lower production costs thanks to the relative availability of sodium. The company also emphasized the improved security and stability of the model, which can be operated in extreme weather conditions and is less susceptible to explosions and fire risks after collisions than conventional lithium batteries.

According to GAO, NAXTRA batteries can reach a range of up to 310 miles with a single load, which is shorter than the range of the ShenXing battery. It should go into mass production at the end of the year.

effects of trade policy on Catl

The tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump against China and automobiles only have a minimal impact on the battery manufacturer, since the business in the United States is only a small part of its overall deliveries, as a Catl representative of the China Securities Journal, a state Chinese newspaper, announced. The company has developed emergency plans since last year and is actively working with its customers on solutions.

Overall, it becomes clear that Catl and its innovations will have a significant influence on the future of electric vehicles.
