Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd., the world’s largest producer of electric vehicle batteries, has teased a new battery technology capable of charging in just five minutes while offering longer range than BYD’s current offerings. The announcement was made at CATL’s Tech Day event held in Shanghai on Monday.
The event, attended by hundreds of media representatives, influencers, and industry observers, featured presentations by CATL’s Chief Technology Officer Gao Huan and showcased billionaire founder and chairman Robin Zeng on large screens. The demonstrations took place in a converted warehouse on the outskirts of China’s financial capital, highlighting CATL’s latest innovations in battery durability and range.
