CATL launches a battery which can charge in Just 10 minute to replenish 600 KM range.

 

On April 25th, CATL  released the Shenhang PLUS battery, which is the world's first phosphate iron lithium battery to achieve a range of 1000 kilometers, and supports 4C ultra-fast charging, with the ability to replenish 600 kilometers of energy in just 10 minutes.

The  Shenhang PLUS battery uses independently developed three-dimensional honeycomb materials to improve the energy density of the negative electrode and control the volume expansion during charging and discharging. 

At the same time, it pioneers an integrated shell structure, greatly improving space utilization. The battery system is optimized on the basis of CTB 3.0, with a 7% increase in volume efficiency and an astonishing energy density of 205Wh/kg.

Indian Oil, Panasonic Energy enter pact to make lithium cells.

 

Indian Oil ,India’s biggest Oil company  announced that it has signed a binding term sheet with Panasonic Energy Co. to form a JV  for manufacturing cylindrical lithium-ion cells in India.

The deal was made in anticipation of demand for batteries for two-and three-wheel vehicles as well as energy storage systems, in Indian markets.

State-owned IOCL is aiming to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2046, aligning with the Indian government's plan to achieve net-zero for the country as a whole by 2070.

"Through its partnership with Indian Oil, Panasonic Energy aims to address environmental challenges, such as reducing CO2 emissions, as well as to contribute to establishing a complete supply chain ecosystem for improving India's self-reliance and fortifying India's position in the global energy landscape," it said.

This JV  will also lead to the growth of India's battery industry by enhancing cell technology and creating domestic demand for raw materials and new entrants.

"Leveraging its expertise in battery development and manufacturing, Panasonic Energy strives to contribute to the growth of the lithium-ion battery industry and India's energy transition, while pursuing its mission of helping to build a sustainable society," it said.
