has been able to push the boundaries of
0:19
what is possible in Battery Technology
0:21
the result is a game-changing Innovation
0:23
that promises to revolutionize the EV
0:25
industry but how exactly did catl
0:28
achieve this remarkable feat and what
0:30
does this mean for the EV industry join
0:32
us as we take a look at Cat's new
0:34
battery and how it has shocked the
0:36
entire industry catl has been a name
0:38
synonymous with innovation in the EV
0:40
Battery World last August they
0:42
introduced the shenz Jing battery a
0:44
Marvel in the lithium iron phosphate lfp
0:46
category this battery was not just an
0:48
ordinary lfp battery it was engineered
0:51
to support super fast charging a feature
0:53
that could revolutionize the EV industry
0:55
the shenz Jing battery boasted the
0:57
ability to charge at a rate of 4C which
0:59
in simp terms means it could achieve a
1:01
full charge in a mere 15 minutes to put
1:04
this into perspective a onec charge rate
1:06
could take an hour to fully charge
1:08
battery so 4C is significantly faster
1:10
fast forward to Auto China 2024 and catl
1:14
had yet another breakthrough to share
1:15
they unveiled the shenz Jing plus an
1:17
enhanced version of their already
1:19
Advanced Battery the shenjing plus
1:21
maintained the impressive 4C charging
1:23
capability but took it a step further it
1:25
could add 600 km approximately 370 Mi of
1:29
range in just 10 minutes of charging
1:31
this was a substantial improvement over
1:33
the previous year's model which could
1:35
recover 400 km about 249 Mes in the same
1:39
amount of time the shenz Jing plus now
1:41
matched the charging performance of the
1:42
keyin battery which was introduced in
1:44
2022 and utilized nmc chemistry
1:48
achieving such remarkable charging
1:49
speeds required catl to push the
1:51
boundaries of Battery Technology they
1:54
Incorporated a fast lithium ion
1:55
conductive coating which facilitated a
1:57
more rapid movement of ions Within the
2:00
battery additionally they introduced
2:01
transition metal elements to the mix
2:03
further enhancing the battery's
2:05
performance a new nanometer
2:06
encapsulation technique was also
2:08
employed ensuring that the energy
2:10
transfer between the cathode and anode
2:12
materials was both smooth and efficient
2:14
but catl didn't stop there they knew
2:16
that with great power comes great
2:18
responsibility or in this case great
2:20
heat to manage the heat generated during
2:22
these high-speed charging sessions catl
2:25
expanded the overcurrent area and
2:27
increased the capacity of the terminals
2:29
within the battery system system this
2:30
allowed a more rapid dissipation of heat
2:32
ensuring that the battery remains safe
2:34
and stable even when subjected to the
2:36
intense currents involved in fory
2:38
charging catl is advancing the frontier
2:40
of Battery Technology with its latest
2:42
developments in battery management
2:44
system BMS core algorithms the company
2:47
has introduced an AI powered
2:48
polarization model that can predict and
2:50
adjust the charging current in real time
2:53
this Innovation allows for a more rapid
2:54
and intelligent way of replenishing the
2:56
batter's energy making the charging
2:58
process both faster and more efficient
3:01
in addition to the smart charging
3:02
capability catl has made significant
3:04
strides in enhancing the energy density
3:07
of its lithium iron phosphate lfp cells
3:09
they have achieved an energy density of
3:11
205 wat hours per kilogram which is a
3:14
notable Milestone as it surpasses the
3:16
200 wat hours per kilogram threshold
3:19
this Improvement was made possible by a
3:21
7% increase in packing efficiency and
3:23
the implementation of more sophisticated
3:25
chemical processes typically lfp battery
3:28
packs have an energy density range in
3:30
from 90 to 160 W hours per kilog so
3:33
cat's achievement represents a
3:35
substantial Leap Forward in Battery
3:37
Technology the shenjing plus battery
3:39
pack in particular showcases an
3:41
optimized structure that leverages the
3:43
module free CTP 3.0 technology this
3:46
design enables electric vehicles to
3:48
achieve ranges exceeding 1,000 km
3:51
approximately 620 Mi pushing the
3:53
boundaries of what's possible in EV
3:55
travel distances furthermore catl has
3:57
utilized a Cutting Edge granular grid
3:59
ation technique for the cathode material
4:02
this method meticulously positions each
4:04
nanometer sized particle to attain ultra
4:06
high compact density which contributes
4:08
to the battery's overall performance
4:10
another Innovative feature of the
4:12
shenjing Plus Battery is the addition of
4:14
a proprietary 3D honeycomb shaped
4:16
material to the anode this material not
4:18
only enhances the energy density but
4:20
also plays a crucial role in managing
4:22
the volume expansion that occurs during
4:24
the batter's charge and discharge Cycles
4:26
this control is vital for maintaining
4:28
the batter's integrity and Longevity
4:30
lastly catl has introduced a single
4:33
piece casing for the battery pack which
4:35
is a first in the industry the design
4:37
Choice maximizes the utilization of
4:39
internal space within the battery
4:40
allowing for more efficient arrangement
4:42
of the battery cells and related
4:44
components for years the Eevee industry
4:46
has grappled with a perplexing trade-off
4:48
maximizing driving range often came at
4:50
the expense of fast charging
4:52
capabilities this dilemma was
4:54
exemplified by Vehicles like the Lucid
4:56
air boasting an impressive 520 M range
4:59
but lacking the rapid recharge times
5:01
offered by some newer Technologies this
5:03
meant drivers had to choose prioritize
5:05
long Journeys within frequent charging
5:07
stops or opt for faster charging at the
5:10
cost of range anxiety catl shenjing Plus
5:13
Battery throws a wrench into this
5:14
equation this Innovative technology
5:16
breaks the traditional range versus
5:18
recharge speed barrier offering The Best
5:20
of Both Worlds exceptional driving range
5:23
and lightning fast charging speeds it's
5:25
not just an incremental Improvement it's
5:27
a potential GameChanger for the entire
5:29
EV land Escape as mentioned the shenz
5:31
Jing plus offers a 600 km approximately
5:34
370 Mi range comparable to top
5:36
performers in the market however unlike
5:38
its competitors it achieves this
5:40
impressive range without compromising
5:42
onch charging speed a 10-minute charge
5:44
can add enough power for a significant
5:46
Journey alleviating range anxiety and
5:48
making EVS more practical for everyday
5:50
use this could also be a boon for the
5:52
booming Chinese EV Market China's
5:54
electric vehicle Market is the world's
5:56
largest and fastest growing with a
5:58
population accustomed to a fast-paced
6:00
convenience the Shenzhen plus battery's
6:02
rapid recharge capabilities combined
6:04
with a solid range could be incredibly
6:06
appealing its widespread adoption has
6:08
the potential to set new Global
6:10
standards for Eevee performance
6:11
influencing future battery development
6:13
and consumer expectations catl is not
6:16
only revolutionizing the electric
6:18
vehicle EV battery Market with its Shen
6:20
Jing Plus batteries but it is also
6:22
laying the groundwork for comprehensive
6:24
super fast charging Network across China
6:26
this ambitious project known as the
6:28
shenz Jing super fast charging Network
6:30
aims to establish the most extensive
6:32
super fast charging infrastructure in
6:34
the country to achieve this catl is

7:34
ecosystem where EV owners can enjoy the
7:36
full potential of their vehicles with
7:38
Peace of Mind by integrating Cutting
7:39
Edge Battery Technology with a robust
7:42
support network catl is positioning
7:44
itself as a leader in the EV industry
7:46
ready to cater to the needs of the
7:47
modern EV owner catl shenjing Plus
7:50
Battery is a technological Marvel in the
7:52
EV industry offering groundbreaking
7:54
features however like any pioneering
7:56
technology it comes with its own set of
7:58
challenges and area of concern that need
8:00
to be addressed one of the primary
8:02
challenges is the sustainable production
8:04
and recycling of batteries as the
8:06
adoption of EVS gains momentum the
8:08
demand for highquality Batteries surges
8:10
raising questions about the long-term
8:12
availability of essential raw materials
8:14
The Mining and processing of these
8:16
materials have significant environmental
8:18
implications and there is a growing need
8:20
for responsible sourcing and reduced
8:22
ecological impact moreover the end of
8:24
life scenario for these batteries
8:26
presents another hurdle recycling used
8:28
batteries is not only a complex and
8:30
costly process but also essential for
8:32
Environmental Conservation and resource
8:34
recovery efficient recycling processes
8:36
are crucial to manage the life cycle of
8:38
batteries sustainably and to mitigate
8:40
the potential ecological footprint of
8:42
EVS in addition to these broader issues
8:45
there are specific trade-offs associated
8:47
with the lithium iron phosphate
8:48
chemistry of the shenjing plus battery
8:50
while lfp batteries are known for their
8:52
safety and Longevity they typically have
8:54
a lower energy density compared to other
8:56
chemistries like nickel manganese Cobalt
8:59
and nmc this lower energy density means
9:01
that lfp batteries tend to be larger and
9:04
heavier which can influence the design
9:05
and performance of EVS consumers must
9:08
weigh these factors against their
9:09
personal needs and preferences
9:11
considering both the benefits and
9:12
limitations of lfp Technology despite
9:15
these challenges the shenjing plus
9:17
batter's introduction is a pivotal
9:18
moment for the EV sector its Advanced
9:20
capabilities are set to enhance the
9:22
appeal of electric vehicles by
9:24
addressing two of the most common
9:25
concerns among potential EV buyers range
9:28
anxiety and long charging times so what
9:30
do you think about this new battery let
9:32
us know in the comments section
Electric Viking Transcript:
0:00
guys catl they just sent me an email
0:02
with some news which is absolutely
0:05
blowing my mind I thought that these
0:07
batteries were years away but CHL is
0:09
saying no no no no for one they told me
0:11
I was wrong on something I said about
0:12
their battery the new Shen sing battery
0:15
not really wrong but the details weren't
0:17
quite correct I'll tell you what those
0:19
details were two though they said to me
0:21
that um their new battery is the highest
0:24
energy density battery in the world and
0:26
it's already in semi trucks in China the
0:30
energy density of this new battery would
0:32
allow an EV to have 2,000 km of range I
0:36
mean literally it really would it is
0:40
unbelievable hello my friends welcome to
0:42
the channel I'm Sam Evans you're
0:44
watching the electric Viking it's great
0:45
to see you catl mentioned to me that
0:48
this their new condenser battery has the
0:52
highest energy density of any battery in
0:54
history and I mean Elon Musk he said
0:58
batteries need to be they need to have
1:00
400 wats per kilo energy density
1:02
approximately for you know commercial
1:04
aircraft well we've hit that number now
1:07
but the ATL's new battery is much much
1:10
higher than that and it's a real product
1:12
this is not some theoretical Journal
1:14
paper you know you guys know I share
1:15
these these things with you numerous
1:18
times just so you can see all the the
1:19
different Innovations coming out but
1:21
they a lot of them just theoretical but
1:22
this new battery it's already in trucks
1:25
in China that's what CHL said to me just
1:28
a couple of days ago now here's I want
1:30
to share with you the email they've sent
1:31
me so that you know exactly what's going
1:33
on dear the electric Viking we're
1:35
excited to share with you that CHL the
1:37
Shen sing battery actually has an energy
1:40
density of 205 wats per kilogram so it's
1:43
slightly higher than what I said in my
1:44
video where I talked about this new
1:45
sensing battery which apparently will go
1:47
into the new Tesla Model y Juniper they
1:50
said well I thought it had an energy
1:52
density of 200 WS per kilo they said
1:54
it's actually 205 so not much different
1:57
this is the world's first lfp battery
1:59
lithium on CR battery that achieves a
2:01
range above 1,000 km with 4C super fast
2:05
charging so what exactly is 4C super
2:07
fast charging charging speed of the real
2:09
world of around 580 KW so it's actually
2:13
recorded that charging speed I think it
2:15
was in a j electric car might have been
2:17
a zika EV that they tested it with uh
2:19
there's are now a few of those cars so
2:21
insane charging the other big advantage
2:23
to this battery pack I mentioned is its
2:25
performance in cold weather there's
2:27
almost no battery degradation at -20°
2:31
catl said through breakthroughs in
2:33
materials and structure The Shining
2:34
battery system's energy density actually
2:36
surpasses 200 wat per kilo as I reported
2:39
it hits 205 watts per kilo so it's a
2:42
little bit higher than byd's new blade
2:44
battery which has an energy density of
2:46
between 180 to 190 watts per kilo they
2:50
say that makes Range over 1,000 km
2:52
reality aside from offering long range
2:54
Shen sing plus also charges very fast it
2:58
can deliver 600 km range
3:00
in 10 minutes of charging this is proven
3:03
actually there's been some videos I've
3:05
seen from China showing this actually is
3:08
true fast surp passing the usual
3:10
batteries available on the market and
3:12
realizing a true super fast charging
3:14
speed of 1 kilm per second CHL will
3:18
create a closed loop ecosystem of super
3:21
fast charging Batteries Plus network
3:22
plus services in addition to exceptional
3:25
new batteries CHL has also initiated the
3:27
construction of the Shen sing super fast
3:29
char in network to build the biggest
3:32
super fast charging service platform in
3:35
China this year CHL though successfully
3:38
achieved the maiden flight of a ton
3:41
class prototype equipped with a CHL
3:44
condensed battery so what exactly is a
3:48
ton class prototype it is a commercial
3:51
airliner as in a 747 literally a
3:56
747 we've been waiting for this now for
3:58
decades I've been talking about on the
4:00
channel now for a very long time and
4:03
yeah guys it's finally here passenger
4:05
commercial airliners with batteries CHL
4:08
actually revealed this on their Channel
4:11
but um they don't really have that many
4:13
subscribers you should subscribe to CHL
4:16
by the way they have about 18,000 views
4:19
on this video this is probably the most
4:21
insane thing with in years it's happened
4:25
globally when it comes to batteries when
4:26
it comes to really any kind of
4:28
Technology so the condensed battery how
4:31
is it capable of actually enabling a
4:34
commercial airliner to fly a long
4:36
distance because it is well the energy
4:39
density is staggering the energy density
4:42
like I said is the highest of any
4:43
battery it is 500 wats per kilogram now
4:47
you can really see here guys why CHL
4:49
isn't really that impressed by solid
4:51
state batteries because this is higher
4:54
this energy density is higher than solid
4:57
state batteries which are still under
4:58
development
5:00
um catl said this it's a 70 or 80%
5:04
increase of a current NCM or nickel
5:06
Cobalt manganese batteries we are
5:09
focused on the aviation applications for
5:11
condensed batteries and as production
5:13
scales up we can reduce the cost and use
5:16
the battery in cars too now CHL don't
5:19
make these comments and not follow
5:21
through everything CHL does they have a
5:23
remarkable ability to follow through on
5:25
their promises I think more so than
5:27
maybe any other company I've ever ever
5:28
heard of so cat saying that they will
5:31
reduce the cost scale up production and
5:34
then put these batteries in cars 500 WS
5:38
per kilogram I mean literally if you had
5:40
say 100 KW battery in something like a
5:44
Tesla Model
5:45
3 with 500 W per kg energy density
5:48
that's about double the energy density
5:49
of today's Tesla's batteries probably
5:51
around about 1,000 miles of range that's
5:55
insane that's 1,600 km Battery
5:58
Technology breakthroughs in enable
6:00
business model Innovation said CHL and
6:02
therefore a sustainable EV transition
6:04
with multiple applications in the
6:06
vehicle to grid scenario an EV battery
6:09
can also be a distributed mobile energy
6:12
storage unit enabling EV owners to make
6:15
a profit by charging during off peak
6:17
hours and selling electricity to power
6:19
the grid during peak hours you do not
6:22
need to drive your car and the car will
6:23
make money for you says catl but it
6:25
requires longer life cycles for the
6:28
batteries to meet this and we have
6:30
developed Battery Technology for a cycle
6:32
life of 18,000 Cycles 18,000 Cycles
6:37
would really give you a theoretical
6:39
battery life of about 50
6:41
years I mean would it really last that
6:43
long I've got no idea but um wow the
6:47
future is here so we have three
6:49
incredible Technologies a battery with
6:51
18,000 Cycles um charging life that's
6:54
the longest charging battery the longest
6:56
life battery in human history that I've
6:58
ever heard of other than than you know
7:00
things like water batteries or um you
7:02
know huge lakes that kind of act as a
7:04
battery then we have of course the Shen
7:07
sing battery the shenen plus 205 wats
7:09
per kilogram energy density which is the
7:11
highest lfp energy density ever uh
7:14
insanely fast charging the fastest
7:15
charging we've ever seen commercially
7:17
available on any electric car and then
7:20
we have the condens the condenser
7:22
battery with 500 wats per kilg energy
7:26
density the highest in
7:28
history if catl already have the
7:30
condenser battery and you're one of
7:32
their Rivals I genuinely feel sorry for
7:35
you because your company is pretty much
7:37
finished honestly I mean what are you
7:39
going to do right you're developing
7:40
solidate batteries you spend hundreds of
7:42
millions maybe billions of Automotive of
7:45
money from some of these Automotive
7:46
companies like Volkswagen group BMW
7:48
they've all been investing in Solid
7:49
State Battery Technology the biggest
7:51
battery company in the world who
7:54
essentially have a monopoly they own 40%
7:56
of the global battery Market come along
7:58
and they reveal this and they say it's
8:01
already in airliners commercial
8:03
airliners and we're going to put it in
8:05
cars by the way what do you do I mean

exciting some people say I'm getting
8:13
over excited but come on can you blame
8:16
me 500 wats per kilogram this is the

biggest battery company in the world
8:20
this is legitimate this is not a study
8:22
this is not some sort of pilot test this
8:25
is the real thing the future just

smacked in the face thanks for watching
During the session “Rolling out EVs: A Marathon or a Sprint?” held on Jan
18, Dr. Zeng said innovation in battery technology is central to helping the world transition towards a clean energy future. CATL remains focused on providing long range electric driving options for consumers, and is continuously innovating to achieve greater results. “We launched the
condensed battery with an energy density of 500 Wh/kg, a 70 or 80 percent increase over current NCM batteries. We are focused on the aviation applications for condensed batteries, and as production scales up, we can reduce the cost and use the battery in cars, too.”
Battery technology breakthroughs enable business model innovation and
therefore a sustainable EV transition with multiple applications. In the V2G (Vehicle to Grid) scenario, an EV battery can also be a distributed mobile energy storage unit, enabling EV owners to make a profit by charging during off-peak hours and selling electricity to the power grid during peak hours. “You do not need to drive your car and the car will make money for you. But
it requires longer cycle life for the batteries. To meet this demand, we
have developed battery technology for a cycle life of 18,000 cycles,” said
Dr. Zeng.
A sustainable supply chain is also essential for a successful transition to e-mobility. In April 2023, CATL announced a plan to achieve carbon
neutrality in all its battery manufacturing facilities by 2025 and across
its battery supply chain by 2035. Dr. Zeng mentioned the difficulty of achieving this goal and emphasized the role of renewable energy in the
supply chain. “That’s why when we are selecting suppliers, we are always
asking them ‘where are you located’ and ‘do you have green energy’ etc.,’’
said Dr. Zeng at the panel.
The integrity of the supply chain is critical for a just EV transition. Dr. Zeng said that through the battery passport program, which was unveiled by
the Global Battery Alliance during last year’s meeting in Davos, people can trace the data of a battery’s whole lifecycle by simply scanning a QR code.
A battery passport is a transparent enabler across the supply chain that can effectively facilitate battery recycling management, cross-border trade and battery circularity, further promoting global EV transition.
EV transition will require efforts from all parts of society, from
government leaders to businesses to NGOs and even consumers themselves, according to Dr. Zeng. “For example, the governments should support battery recycling by allowing qualified technology companies rather than small workshops to refurbish and recycle batteries.”
