CATL

CATL, the world’s largest battery maker, signed a 60 GWh sodium-ion battery deal with energy storage integrator HyperStrong — the largest sodium-ion battery order ever placed. The three-year agreement is equivalent to half of all energy storage batteries CATL delivered in 2025.

The deal marks what CATL calls proof that it has “overcome the challenges of the entire sodium-ion battery mass production chain.” Industry observers are already calling it a potential “DeepSeek moment” for the global energy storage industry.

CATL’s new sodium-ion batteries will begin launching in passenger EVs later this year, offering a more efficient and sustainable solution.

In just over 6 minutes, CATL’s new lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery can be fully recharged, beating out BYD’s Blade Battery 2.0.

EV battery leader CATL will challenge BYD after securing a new partnership to develop fast-charging technology that will take less than 10 minutes.

CATL filed an international patent, detailing how its solid-state battery cell and electrolyte material can help overcome one of the biggest challenges in bringing the new tech to market.

Leading global battery maker CATL and Changan Automobile unveiled the world’s first passenger EV powered by a sodium-ion battery on Thursday.

CATL and BYD are already dominating the EV battery market, accounting for over 50% of global sales last year. With new tech rolling out in 2026, China’s battery leaders look to stay one step ahead of the competition.

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.
