Summary
CATL has developed a new LFP battery called Shenxing that offers extremely fast charging capabilities, reaching from 10% to 98% state of charge in just 6 minutes and 27 seconds, and from 10% to 80% in 3 minutes and 44 seconds. The battery also features self-heating technology that maintains performance even in Arctic temperatures, addressing cold-weather performance issues common in EVs. Unlike NCM batteries, LFP batteries have more linear charging curves and can be fully recharged by DC fast chargers without degradation concerns.
