CATL @CATLOfficial had their Innovation Day prior to the Beijing Automobile Show.
Gen 3 Qilin (NCM/MNC chemistry):.
The Premium Performance KingThe third-generation Qilin battery (Nickel-Cobalt-Manganese chemistry) is designed for high-end, high-performance EVs.I nsane Charging Speeds: Features an optimal billing rate of 15C and a consistent efficient rate of 10C, allowing a complete cost in roughly 6 minutes. Advanced Safety: Uses “Thermal Electric Isolation” and dedicated venting networks to guarantee no fire propagation if a cell fails. Compressed Battery Tech: A “semi-solid state” style battery getting to 350 Wh/kg, efficient in powering deluxe cars for approximately 1,500 kilometres (CLTC). Track Performance: A dedicated “Track Version” can release at a substantial 3,000 kW, doubling previous maximum outputs.2.
Shenxing Gen 3:.
The Mass Market Disruptor. The Shenxing battery is CATL’s Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) remedy focused on making ultra-fast charging economical for everyone.
Defeating the Benchmarks: It can charge from 10% to 98% in just 6 mins and 27 seconds– faster than BYD’s most current Blade 2 batteries. Winter Season Warrior: Even at -30 ° C, it can bill from 20% to 98% in just 9 minutes using a specialized “self-heating” pulse signal. Durability: Maintains over 90% capacity after 1,000 full billing cycles.3.
Naxtra: Sodium-Ion:.
CATL is relocating Sodium-ion batteries right into GWh-scale mass manufacturing. The “Dual-Star” Strategy: Sodium-ion (Naxtra) will exist together with Lithium-ion, controling entry-level vehicles and grid storage space where cost and temperature security issue much more than density. Resilience: These cells can last for 15,000 cycles.Production: Full mass production is expected by Q4 2026.
Freevoy Gen 2: The “Super Hybrid”.
The Freevoy battery aims to get rid of the “hybrid compromise” for PHEVs and EREVs. Combined Chemistry: CATL is now mixing NCM and LFP materials at a micrometer powder level within the very same cells to balance power and cost. EV-Like Range: Offers up to 600 kilometres of pure electric array, with a complete mixed variety of 2,000 kilometres (CLTC).5. Choco Swapping & Smart Grids.
Battery exchanging isn’t dead; it’s advancing into a power management device. Fast Swaps: The “CHOCO-swap” system can transform a battery in 99 secs. Infrastructure: CATL intends to have 4,000 swap stations in China by the end of 2026.
