BEIJING, April 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- At Auto China
2024, CATL (SZ.300750) unveiled Shenxing PLUS—the world's first LFP
battery that achieves a range above 1,000 kilometers with 4C
superfast charging. Within eight months after the launch of the
Shenxing superfast charging battery in August 2023, CATL has once again pushed the
boundaries of LFP battery technology, ushering in the era of
superfast charging for the whole industry.
1,000-km Super-Long Range Ensures Worry-free
Travel
The Shenxing PLUS battery provides users with a super-long range
driving experience, exceeding 1,000 kilometers, which means a trip
from Beijing to Nanjing without recharging on the road. This
allows new energy vehicles to not only meet commuting needs in
urban areas but also accommodate long-distance inter-provincial
travel.
The 1,000-km pure electric range comes from continuous
technological breakthroughs. The cathode of Shenxing PLUS is made
with a granular gradation technology, which places every nanometer
particle in the optimal position to achieve ultra-high compact
density. The proprietary 3D honeycomb-shaped material is added to
the anode, boosting the energy density while effectively
controlling the volume expansion during charge and discharge
cycles. The single-piece casing, which is an industry first,
optimizes the internal space utilization, allowing the Shenxing
PLUS cells to reach an unprecedented energy density level.
At the system level, the Shenxing PLUS battery pack has a
topological structure optimized on top of module-free CTP 3.0
technology, enhancing the packing efficiency by 7%. Through
breakthroughs in materials and structure, the Shenxing battery
system's energy density surpasses the 200 Wh/kg threshold for the
first time, reaching 205 Wh/kg, making ranges over 1,000 kilometers
a reality.
Faster Charging Delivers 600 km on 10-minute Charge
Aside from offering long range, Shenxing PLUS also charges fast.
It can deliver a 600-km range in just 10 minutes of charging, far
surpassing the usual batteries available on the market and
realizing a true superfast charging speed of one kilometer per
second.
To achieve the leapfrogging of charging speed, Shenxing PLUS
applies technologies including fast lithium-ion conductive coating,
the addition of transition metal elements, and new nanometer
encapsulation, rendering smoother and more efficient energy
transmission between cathode and anode materials. CATL has expanded
the overcurrent area and capacity of the terminals in the battery
system to rapidly dissipate heat during high-current charging. In
terms of BMS core algorithms, CATL's newly-developed AI
polarization model can predict and control the charging current in
real time, enabling faster and smarter energy replenishment.
Superfast Charging Batteries + Network + Services Create a
Closed Loop Ecosystem
In addition to exceptional new batteries, CATL has also
initiated the construction of the Shenxing Superfast Charging
Network to build the largest superfast charging service platform in
China. CATL is collaborating with
industry-leading partners like Star Charge, YKC and Shudao New
Energy to provide the most convenient and cost-effective mobility
experience for more owners of cars powered by Shenxing superfast
charging batteries.
CATL is further planned to launch the industry's first Shenxing
superfast charging vehicle owners club, operating in over 600
service outlets covering 271 prefecture-level cities in 31
provincial-level regions. It will provide Shenxing vehicle owners
with roadside rescue, battery inspection and maintenance, and other
services.
On its journey of continuous expansion of scientific frontiers
and the utmost pursuit of a better life, CATL is ushering in a
superfast charging era for new energy vehicles with a closed-loop
supercharging ecosystem by integrating superfast charging battery,
network, platform, and services.
