CATL

The new EV battery tech is moving from the lab to the real world. CATL now expects to launch its first sodium-ion batteries in passenger vehicles in the second quarter of 2026.

CATL is the world’s largest electric vehicle battery maker for a reason. New tests from Morgan Stanley show CATL’s EV batteries significantly outperformed the competition with the lowest degradation.

CATL is already dominating the global electric vehicle battery market, but now the company is saying sodium-ion batteries will be widely available by the end of 2026.

While Tesla struggles shake off allegations of remote operation for its robots, CATL is putting its new “Moz” humanoid robots to work — the company says it’s got the world’s first large-scale implementation of humanoid robots working at their Zhongzhou battery pack facility in China.

CATL’s future appears to include continued expansions into marine electrification, as an executive for the company recently predicted that fully electric boats will soon be able to navigate the open seas safely.

How does a fully charged battery in under 100 seconds sound? China’s CATL, GAC Group, and JD.com revealed a battery-swappable version of the Aion UT that can swap batteries quicker than you can pump gas.

The EV battery giant is unlocking more driving range and faster charging, but without the hefty price tag. CATL launched its new Shenxing Pro on Monday, the world’s first LFP battery with over 470 miles (558 km) WLTP driving range and ultra-fast charging in 10 minutes.

Until GM builds its own, the new Chevy Bolt EV will use lower-cost LFP batteries from China’s CATL. GM will temporarily lean on CATL to power its most affordable electric vehicle.

The first vehicles with CATL’s new ultra-fast swappable EV batteries are now being delivered in China. CATL’s new “Choco-SEB” battery pack can be swapped in 100 seconds, making it just as quick as filling up at a gas station. The new EV features ultra-fast charging and starts at under $24,000 as China widens its lead on the global auto industry.

There’s a CATL battery in just about every EV you can name, so it’s safe to say they know a thing or two about electrifying mobility at scale. Now, they’ve turned their attention to heavy trucks – and their proposed universal battery swap solution for HDEVs could be just the thing to clean up that “messy middle.”

China’s Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) has unveiled its latest battery cell technologies, which charge as quickly as filling up a gas tank while potentially lowering costs without compromise.

This week, prominent Chinese EV automaker NIO and CATL, the world’s leading battery manufacturer, announced a new strategic partnership to combine and standardize their respective industries technologies and implement the “largest and most advanced battery swap network for passenger vehicles.”

A new term is being used to describe Chinese electric vehicles. The latest buzzword in China is “EIV,” replacing the commonly used “EV.” According to CATL’s co-chairman, Chinese EIVs, or Electric Intelligent Vehicles, are surging as affordable options that offer more advanced tech and capabilities than traditional gas-powered cars.

On today’s episode of Quick Charge, Polestar hopes to steal customers from Tesla now that Elon is involved in politics, CATL revenue dips for the first time ever, and a whole new way to feed the orcas drops down under.

The world’s largest EV battery maker warned that it expects to report less revenue in 2024 than the previous year, sending share prices down on Wednesday. CATL (SHE: 300750) stock dipped after its 2024 Annual Performance Forecast was released. Here’s a preview of CATL’s financials for last year.

CATL held a commanding lead in the EV battery market last year, accounting for over a third of global usage. The world’s largest EV battery maker expects to announce another big partnership for a new EV plant in Europe by the end of 2025. The new facility will be separate from the one announced last month with Stellantis. Here’s what we know so far.

The world’s largest EV battery maker was designated as a “Chinese Military Company” on Monday by the US Defense Department. CATL, which supplies EV batteries to Tesla, BMW, Ford, Volkswagen, Toyota, Nissan, Honda, and many others, is now on the US blacklist. Here’s what that means.

The world’s largest EV battery maker wants an even bigger market share. On Thursday, CATL announced plans to list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to drive the company’s “global strategic layout” and improve its competitiveness.

China’s CATL launched its new Bedrock Chassis on Monday, calling it “the world’s first ultra-safe skateboard chassis.” The global EV battery leader said its newest tech “activates a trillion yuan market” as the new standard for intelligent vehicle design. According to CATL, it will also end the belief that gas-powered cars are safer than EVs.

The world’s leading EV battery maker wants to make gas stations a thing of the past. On Wednesday, CATL revealed ambitious plans to expand its EV battery swap network with ten new models. By swapping batteries, EV drivers can get a fully charged pack within two minutes. That’s even quicker than filling up your gas tank.

The world’s largest EV battery maker wants even more. China’s CATL told its suppliers it would provide funding as it looks to gain market share and overcome an intensifying price war in the EV battery space.
