The power reserve will be 1000 km
CATL introduced the Shenxing Plus battery today at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show. It is the world's first lithium iron phosphate battery that provides a range of 1000 km.
Shenxing Plus battery uses a solution to increase the energy density of the negative electrode and control volume expansion during charging and discharging. Shenxing Plus battery is the first to feature an integrated body design, which greatly improves space utilization. Volumetric efficiency is increased by 7%, and energy density reaches 205 W·h/kg.
Shenxing Plus battery supports 4C fast charging. After charging for 10 minutes, the car can travel 600 km. Introducing the new product, CATL used the phrase «1 second — 1 kilometer». In fact, the car charges not much slower than cars equipped with internal combustion engines are refueled. The fuel pumping speed of modern gas dispensers, depending on the model, ranges from 50 to 100 liters per minute. In practice, refueling to a full tank takes several minutes.
Today, CATL operates three lithium battery factories.
