Munich, Germany – Chinese battery manufacturer Contemporary Amperex Technology Limited (CATL) unveiled its new Shenxing Pro electric vehicle battery in Munich, Germany, boasting both ultra-fast charging and extended range capabilities. The battery is available in two variants: a Super-Fast Charging version and a Super Long Life & Long Range version.
Both Shenxing Pro models utilize Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) materials and are engineered for high performance, durability, and rapid charging. The key distinction lies in their prioritized features - longevity and distance for the Long Life & Long Range variant, and charging speed for the Super-Fast Charging version.
CATL claims the Super-Fast Charging variant can add 478 kilometers of range in just 10 minutes – equating to 0.8 kilometers per second – and can still deliver up to 830 kW of power output even at a 20% state of charge. The super Long Life & Long Range variant achieves a WLTP-rated range of up to 758 kilometers with a projected lifespan of 12 years or 1 million kilometers, experiencing only 9% degradation after 200,000 kilometers of use.
Both variants incorporate CATL’s latest NP 3.0 (no Propagation 3.0) safety system, designed to prevent fire or smoke propagation during thermal runaway, and allow for over an hour of continued operation in emergency situations. The Shenxing Pro utilizes a Wave Cell design,featuring a unique shoulder structure and space-sharing technology to enhance cooling and structural rigidity by 25%,while increasing battery volume efficiency to 76%.
“With the reach, charging speed, and uncompromised endurance, Shenxing Pro is the best solution for electric mobility in Europe,” stated Dr. Lingbo Zhu,CTO of CATL International.
