Its latest battery, Shenxing Plus, uses cheaper, more advanced lithium iron phosphate for even faster charging. CATL said the new EV battery is the world’s first with 4C ultra-fast charging and +620 miles (1,000 km) CLTC long-range capabilities. The new battery can gain a one-km range in as little as one minute.

CATL continues advancing EV battery tech as it aims to develop longer-range, faster charging units. The EV battery giant dominates the industry after leading again in 2023 for the seventh straight year.

The technology swaps the graphite normally used on the negatively charged anodes of lithium-ion EV batteries for silicon.
The vehicle’s internal battery pack is charged under the control of the battery management system (BMS). The majority of EV manufacturers currently use conductive charging. Fig. 14. A schematic layout of onboard and off-board EV charging systems (Rajendran et al., 2021a). 3.2.2. Wireless charging
CATL's new Shenxing batteries could speed EV charging. CATL Chinese battery giant CATL unveiled a new fast-charging battery last week—one that the company says can add up to 400 kilometers (about 250 miles) of range in 10 minutes.
CATL continues advancing EV battery tech as it aims to develop longer-range, faster charging units. The EV battery giant dominates the industry after leading again in 2023 for the seventh straight year. CATL’s EV battery consumption reached 259.7 GWh last year. Meanwhile, total battery consumption rose to 705.5 GWh globally.
