The world’s biggest battery maker, CATL, announced that its third-generation CTP (cell-to-pack) battery technology is ready for mass production and the official launch is expected in April. Through continuous technological iteration, CATL has...
SVOLT Energy aims to become the biggest battery cell maker by 2025
SVOLT Energy now plans to reach a battery cell production capacity of 600 GWh by 2025 and become the world’s biggest producer. Let’s see how does this figure compares to other major Chinese...
SVOLT unveils its second-generation L600 short blade battery
Right now SVOLT seems to be the only major battery cell maker that aims to provide a good alternative to the popular BYD Blade Battery, by introducing its own long prismatic cobalt-free battery cells...
SK On is considering developing LFP batteries
SK Innovation’s battery unit, SK On, is now finally considering developing LFP (LiFePO4) batteries for electric vehicles. This decision comes shortly after its domestic competitor, LG Energy Solution announced that’s already developing EV batteries...
Lithium metal battery improved with new electrolyte
Lithium metal is one of the best candidates to replace graphite as an anode material thanks to its high theoretical capacity. The problem is that batteries using lithium metal anodes currently have poor cycle...
This is why BYD Blade battery is ahead of competition
Currently the LFP (LiFePO4) cobalt-free chemistry allows to build EV batteries that are extremely safe, durable, simple, affordable and with good performance. Since – unlike NCM or NCA – LFP battery cells are extremely...
