From China CatThe largest supplier of the EV battery world, announced a set of new incoming products on Monday, including a battery that states has established a “new global record of super fast load technology.”
In a publication on Wechat, the company -contemporaneous Technology Company Amperex Ltd. -Sid which is a second generation Shenxing battery could add 520 km (323 miles) or a driving range of only five minutes of load time a little longer than what is needed to refill gas cars.
This seems to put the rapid cattle load ahead of the Chinese EV giant and Tesla Rival Byd, who last month surprised the industry with a load system that said he could add around 400 km in the range to his batteries also in approximately 5 minutes.
Some analysts were skeptical about Byds claims, pointing out possible technical obstacles and high costs. However, if it proved to be feasible on a larger scale, technology could help the EV industry relieve consumers’ concerns about the scope and convenience of electric vehicles.
Catl’s latest statements would also place their avant -garde load speeds comfortably ahead of those of their western competitors. The last Tesla superchargers can add up to 270 kilometers or vary in 15 minutes, while Mercedes-Benz Group Recently he said that one of his batteries can obtain up to 325 kilometers in 10 minutes.
The new Shenxing product is also the first lithium iron phosphate battery in the world with a range of 800 km and a maximum load rate of 12 ° C, Catl said. He added that the battery exceeds the highest current load level in the industry in low temperature or -10 ° C.
On Monday, Catl also revealed new batteries within his series “Nxtra”, which said it would be “the first mass ion battery produced by the world”, reducing the dependence of the Ev Indy lithium.
The company added that sodium ion batteries could help reduce maintenance costs and are able to function at extreme temperatures or -40 ° C to +70 ° C.
One of Noxtra’s batteries was specifically for heavy-duty trucks, which the company said he said sacrifices of about eight years of useful life while providing reduced costs of the life cycle and greater efficiency than traditional lead-acid batteries.
Catl’s shares, which are quoted in Shenzhen, quoted approximately 1% on Tuesday.
