Freevoy Dual Power Battery: Combining Long Range and Fast Power
The highlight is CATL’s new Freevoy Dual Power Battery. Imagine having two separate battery zones within the same battery pack, each made for a specific task. One is focused on long-distance driving, while the other is designed to deliver power at high speeds. Together, they offer a range of over 1,500 kilometres. That’s not a typing mistake! This dual-core setup uses safety technologies derived from aviation, which manage thermal stability and power delivery through independent systems to prevent failure.
Shenxing Superfast Charging: No more waiting for charging
Range is important, but so is convenience, and CATL understands this well. The second-generation Shenxing Superfast Charging battery charges faster than ever. Plug into a high-capacity charger and you’ll get over 500 kilometres of range in about five minutes.
Even in freezing temperatures – minus 10 degrees Celsius – this battery works flawlessly, charging up to 80 per cent in just 15 minutes. Even when it’s nearly empty, it can still deliver tremendous power: over 800 kW, enough to put most supercars to shame.
Sodium-ion batteries: The economical and sustainable option
Then there is the sodium-ion battery – a revolution in itself. CATL’s third new offering focuses on being economical and highly durable, as well as having the highest energy density in the industry. Apart from being a backup, it is built to perform in conditions where others fail. It maintains almost full capacity even at minus 30 degrees Celsius and easily withstands repeated charging, according to the brand. It is also safer than traditional lithium-ion cells, withstanding stress tests such as pressure, punctures and even drilling without catching fire. It is scheduled to go into production this year, which makes it even more significant.
