China Launches EV Battery That Charges in Just 6 Minutes
Chinese battery giant CATL has unveiled a new electric vehicle battery that can charge from 10% to 98% in just six minutes and 27 seconds. The Shenxing battery is expected to accelerate the global shift toward electric vehicles by offering charging speeds comparable to refuelling traditional petrol cars.
Contemporary Amperex Technology Co Ltd (CATL) has launched a new electric vehicle battery called Shenxing. It is a lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery that can charge from 10% to 98% in six minutes and 27 seconds. The battery can reach 80% charge in under four minutes and up to 35% in less than a minute. CATL achieved this by reducing internal electrical resistance to 0.25 milliohms. The Shenxing battery performed consistently even in extreme temperatures, charging from 10% to 98% in around nine minutes at -30°C. The innovation is expected to make electric vehicles more practical for everyday use.
