CATL would be the first to put these fast-charging cells in electric vehicles. With lithium-ion batteries, there tends to be a stiff trade-off between how much energy they can store and how quickly they can charge. These batteries can generally be split into two categories: “energy cells” and “power cells.”
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.
Last year Toyota said a technical breakthrough would enable it to develop a solid state battery which could charge in ten minutes and last 1,200 km (754m). And a compact charger developed by the US start-up Gravity can add 200 miles of range to an electric vehicle in under 13 minutes.
Owners of certain electric vehicles could save "hundreds of pounds" on their energy bills by using electricity stored in the batteries to power their homes, according to the government.
Yet questions remain about this battery and what it will mean for vehicles, Shang says. By saying that the batteries could be used in a vehicle with a range of 700 kilometers (430 miles), CATL’s announcement implies high energy density. But it’s not clear how large the vehicle and battery will need to be to deliver that kind of range.
There’s a revolution brewing in batteries for electric cars. Japanese car maker Toyota said last year that it aims to release a car in 2027–28 that could travel 1,000 kilometres and recharge in just 10 minutes, using a battery type that swaps liquid components for solids.
