CATL has three groundbreaking EV batteries but the most important is Sodium ion batteries that could lower the cost of batteries. Chinese engineers at CATL have begun mass-producing sodium-ion cells at their new 30GWh facility in Fujian province. Chery and BYD will start using them in a few months. CATL’s first-gen sodium batteries already power …
Lithium Manganese Iron Phosphate (LMFP) batteries are ramping up to serious scale and could offer a 20% boost in energy density over LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries. LMFP operates at a higher voltage than LFP, its theoretical energy density can reach up to 230 Wh/kg, which is 15% to 20% greater than that of LFP …
CATL is using condensed battery (500 Watt hours per kg) is developing electric aircraft started with smaller planes, ranging from 1-ton to 8.8-ton, Zeng said at the BEYOND International Science and Technology Innovation Expo on May 22 in Macau. CATL was already test-flying 4-ton aircraft, but reaching a commercial level will require success with aircraft …

Brian WangBrian Wang is a Futurist Thought Leader and a popular Science blogger with 1 million readers per month. His blog Nextbigfuture.com is ranked #1 Science News Blog. It …
CNEVPost says CATL is in the process of developing and validating its M3P batteries with Tesla. Detailed analysis indicates that M3P brings better range that Iron LFP batteries for similar cost and 15% lower cost than nickel batteries. M3P batteries are CATL’s batteries based on a new material system with higher energy density than lithium …
CATL has new rectangular LFP batteries. The LFP EV battery price will be less than $56 per kWh within six months. It is a bigger rectangular battery with each one being like six Tesla 4680 batteries. The LFP battery price in China is currently $70 per kWh. China’s EV makers (CATL, BYD) are targeting two …
CATL of China is mass producing generation one sodium ion batteries starting next month. The first factory has about a 40 GWH per year capacity. China has 16 out of 20 globally planned or built sodium battery factories according to Benchmark Minerals. CATL’s first-generation sodium battery generates 160-watt-hours per kilogram. This is 10% less energy …

Gotion, a major Chinese battery company will be mass producing the Astroinno L600 LMFP battery cell in 2024. It has 15% more energy density than this years ground breaking CATL M3P battery. In May, 2023, it was announced that the L600, which has passed all safety tests, has a weight energy density of 240Wh/kg, a …
Jordan Giesige has unraveled the composition, cost and performance of the CATL M3P battery. CATL is the largest EV battery maker in the world with about 36% global market share. CATL is launching its new M3P battery but there has been confusion about what the M3P battery composition, cost and performance. CATL is likely launching …
Dr. Wu Kai, CATL Chief Scientist, presented at the CATL new product launch 2023 event (charge to the future in a flash) on August 16, 2023. CATL launched Shenxing, the world’s first 4C superfast charging LFP battery, capable of delivering 400 km of driving range with a 10-minute charge as well as a range of …
