Chinese giants CATL and SAIC-GM have developed a new battery that provides a range of 200 km after just 5 minutes of charging. introduced.
It is reported that this lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) based battery, signed by CATL and SAIC-GM, is a first in the industry with its ā6Cā ultra-fast charging support (currently Chinese manufacturers use 5.5C batteries). Unfortunately, the battery, which can gain a range of 200 km in 5 minutes with suitable DC charging infrastructures and takes only 10 minutes to fully charge, will not be available immediately. The new battery will first come to life in 2025 within GM Ultium’s 900V architecture. CATL had previously attracted attention with an electric bus battery. you know The batteries placed under electric vehicles have a lifespan. The performance and energy storage capacity of batteries, whose lifespan decreases after continuous charging and discharging, decreases over time. That’s why batteries need to be replaced after a while. So when exactly does this need for change occur?
Thanks to the studies carried out, the new generation batteries have become very long-lasting. In fact, developed by CATL and The new electric bus battery, called Tectrans Bus Edition, has a lifespan of 1 million km or 15 years.. It is stated that this IP69 certified option is the battery with the highest energy density in the industry with a value of 175 Wh/kg. It is also for a battery that the company previously introduced for electric cars. A warranty of exactly 1.5 million km or 15 years was announced.
The company had previously made a splash with its battery that provided a range of 600 km with 10 minutes of charging. This lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery is The first solution that supports the ultra-fast charging infrastructure called 4C And In this way, it can gain a range of 600 km with just 10 minutes of charging. Full maximum range 1,000 km This electric car battery, described as , looks really impressive. The battery is reported to not lose its fast charging power even at temperatures as low as -20 degrees.creates excitement for future electric cars and is one of the developments that will force those who have not yet purchased an electric vehicle to wait another 1-2 years.
