CATL Shenxing PLUS battery goes Insane | Pre-orders Spiking

CATL just announced it has already improved on the Shenxing LFP battery it introduced last year. According to the company, its latest battery, called Shenxing PLUS, can charge at 4C, add 600 kilometers of range in just 10 minutes using a DC fast charger, and power an electric car for up to 1000 kilometers on a full charge. BOOM! The EV revolution just got disrupted and nothing will ever be the same again. Everyone is petrified of the Chinese, primarily because there is a general feeling that every industry in China is heavily subsidized by the central government.

Those concerns are real. Globally, the auto sector accounts for about 5 percent of the word’s economy and employs an estimated 50 million people either directly or indirectly. A massive disruption of the industry would send shock waves through the entire world economy. Those shock waves in turn could lead to political upheavals that destabilize several governments. All that because of a battery? Yes, indeed. The potential ramifications of the Shenxing PLUS battery are really that big. On the one hand, this new technology from CATL is like the difference between a propeller-driven airplane lumbering across the Atlantic at 250 miles per hour and a commercial jetliner that travels more than twice as fast. It is the piece of the EV revolution that has been missing until now. From the perspective of decarbonizing the transportation sector, it is wonderful news.

Humanity needs the Shenxing PLUS battery to move beyond the fears people have about owning an electric car. That in turn could open the floodgates and allow the EV revolution to succeed. If only it wasn’t CATL doing this, we would all be dancing in the streets and celebrating because we could soon be driving electric cars that charge in minutes and can travel long distances without stopping every 90 minutes for a fresh injection of electrons. Why does it have to be the Chinese doing this? It’s like Indiana Jones looking down into the Well of Souls and asking “Why does it have to be snakes?” Here’s more information about the CATL Shenxing Plus battery from the press release: The 1,000 Kilometers pure electric range comes from continuous technological breakthroughs.

The cathode of the Shenxing PLUS is made with a granular gradation technology, which places every nanometer particle in the optimal position to achieve ultra-high compact density. The proprietary 3D honeycomb-shaped material is added to the anode, boosting the energy density while effectively controlling the volume expansion during charge and discharge cycles. The single-piece casing, which is an industry first, optimizes the internal space utilization, allowing the Shenxing PLUS cells to reach an unprecedented energy density level. At the system level, the Shenxing PLUS battery pack has a topological structure optimized on top of module-free CTP 3.0 technology, enhancing the packing efficiency by 7%. Through breakthroughs in materials and structure, the Shenxing battery system’s energy density surpasses the 200 Watt hour per Kilogram threshold for the first time, reaching 205 Watt hour per Kilogram, making ranges over 1,000 kilometers a reality.

Aside from offering long range, Shenxing PLUS also charges fast. It can deliver a 600 Kilometers range in just 10 minutes of charging; far surpassing the usual batteries available on the market and realizing a true superfast charging speed of one kilometer per second. To achieve the leapfrogging of charging speed, Shenxing PLUS applies technologies including fast lithium-ion conductive coating, the addition of transition metal elements, and new nanometer encapsulation, rendering smoother and more efficient energy transmission between cathode and anode materials. CATL has expanded the overcurrent area and capacity of the terminals in the battery system to rapidly dissipate heat during high-current charging.
