CATL has announced their latest Shenxing Plus battery pack which provides a range of 1000km but only takes 17 minutes to recharge. This equates to a charging speed of 1km/s.
This battery is of the lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) type with a power density of 205 Wh/kg. This is also the highest power density for LFP-type batteries to date. Although the Shenxing Plus battery has been announced, CATL has not yet shared when it will begin commercial use in EVs.
The waiting period may not be that long because last year, Shenxing batteries were used in commercial EVs eight months after launch. This battery provides a travel distance of 400 km after charging for 10 minutes.
