Electric vehicle charging anxiety may be coming to an end! CATL reveals mysterious new product that can charge 400 kilometers in 10 minutes

According to news on August 14, CATL will hold a high-profile offline new product launch conference on August 16. Recent company information revealed that this conference may unveil new fast-charging batteries and related charging technologies.

It is reported that Wu Kai, the chief scientist of CATL, once shared a striking new product, claiming that an electric vehicle can travel 400 kilometers in just 10 minutes of charging. It is only slightly slower than refueling and is expected to be launched in 2023. In view of the time point and product plan, the industry speculates that this mysterious product is likely to be unveiled at the press conference on August 16.

This ultra-fast charging solution is expected to greatly alleviate the charging anxiety of electric vehicle users and no longer worry about power issues during long-distance driving. Even during a short stay, such as going to the toilet or moving for a while, the vehicle can be fully charged, providing more convenient options for electric travel.

However, in addition to breakthroughs in charging speed, another challenge faced by electric vehicles is performance issues in low-temperature environments. According to the editor's understanding, CATL has actively explored this issue. Wu Kai revealed that they have developed innovative electrolyte materials that can increase charging efficiency by 50% under extremely cold conditions of minus 20°C. Under normal temperatures, this improvement also reaches 43%. If this technology can be successfully mass-produced and widely used, it will provide strong support for the promotion and popularization of electric vehicles in cold northern regions.
