CATL Developed a ‘Super Battery’ for Electric Cars and Chinese Manufacturers Are Already Eyeing. New Component Delivers Range of Up to 1 Thousand Km.

The super CATL battery, presented a few weeks ago, promises a range of up to 1 thousand km, ultrafast charging for electric cars, and already has several interested clients, including two manufacturers from China. The third generation of CATL’s battery system will be used for the first time by Zeekr in the upcoming Zeekr 009 model in Q1 2023 and also in the 001 model in Q2 of the same year.

On the same day, CATL also signed a five-year strategic cooperation agreement with Seres, one of the electric vehicle manufacturers based in China, which plans to use the Qilin battery system in its new premium electric vehicle brand Aito, operating in partnership with Huawei.

Chinese Manufacturer Offers 3 Models

According to the statement, the conclusion of the strategic cooperation agreement is the global update of the partnership that both parties developed over the past year. With CATL’s third-generation CTP battery technology, the Qilin batteries to be used in the new AITO models mark the highest level of integration in the world for battery systems.

Currently, the Chinese manufacturer offers 3 electric cars, also equipped with CATL batteries. They are: Aito M5, announced in December of last year and on sale since March, the Aito M7, announced in July and being sold since August, and Aito M5 EV, announced in July, available for pre-order with a launch expected in September.

CATL emphasizes that the first customers for the new batteries were announced just two months after the unveiling of the new system. Mass production of the batteries will begin early next year.

Specifications of CATL Battery

CATL is supplying components to almost all manufacturers in China. It is believed that these will gradually transition to more advanced and better technology; however, the first two brands are among the youngest and the premium sector, suggesting that, at least initially, the Qilin battery system will be marketed for top-tier models.

Among the standout specifications, the system offers a volume utilization efficiency of 72%, ultrafast charging at 4C (SOC of 10-80% in 10 minutes), and energy density of up to 255 Wh/kg (NCM) or more than 160 Wh/kg (LFP).

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

It was neither a crash nor abandonment; this retired plane left the airport in parts, crossed Costa Rica on trucks, and ended up becoming a suite in the heights with daily rates exceeding R$ 2,000.

At 22 years old, a young person from Recife creates an artificial intelligence startup with a team barely over 25, serves giants like Bayer and Ipiranga, earns millions without taking a cent from investors, and transforms a young company into a national AI phenomenon.

She panicked when she saw her daughter fall from the crib; years later, she turned the experience into a factory generating R$ 9 million per year.

At 75 years old, João José de Carvalho, known as Mr. Janjão, was accepted for the second time by Sisu after overcoming distance, physical limitations, and years away from school, to fulfill his dream of studying Biological Sciences at UFPI.

The invisible danger inside the house: plugging too many devices into the same outlet and spreading extensions throughout the rooms can overload the electrical network, silently heat wires, and turn a common habit into one of the leading causes of house fires.

Toyota Sienna becomes a “VIP lounge on wheels” in Brazil after receiving a Chinese luxury kit, seats with massage, Starlink, refrigerator, and a 245 hp hybrid engine, targeting high-income families, artists, and executive transport in an almost million-dollar van.

Two new 300cc models from QJ Motor are expected to arrive in Brazil as SBM to target the CB 300F and shake up the low-displacement market, with more power and liquid cooling than Honda.

Camaro may reappear in 2027, but not as you remember: Chevrolet prepares the return of the icon with four doors, manual transmission, and an extreme performance version to face the new era of sports cars.

Is the BYD Song Pro worth it? The Anderson Sincero channel says it doesn’t exceed R$ 140,000, and the price dropped by R$ 47,000, reinforcing the depreciation of the plug-in hybrid in the Fipe table.
