You have to know what you are about to stay ahead in the electric vehicle battery game. CATL has maintained its competitive edge by constantly innovating, while maintaining a reputation for reliability. Now it is staking its reputation on a super hybrid FREEVOY battery with a range of 250 miles. We delve into the CATL FREEVOY battery chemistry, that has the added bonus of 4C super-fast charging capability.
The Rationale Behind CATL FREEVOY Battery Chemistry
The CATL media release that we link to below, pinpoints the main cause for customer dissatisfaction with pure electric vehicles. Briefly, these issues are ‘short range, slow charging, and reduced low-temperature performance’.
The FREEVOY battery boasts a 175 mile driving range after just 10 minutes charging. But how does CATL achieve this level of battery technology, when others are still trying?
The Innovations Behind This New, Super Hybrid Battery
- The cathode features an anode surface modification, teamed with an innovative high-voltage electrolyte, that creates a nano protection coating. This minimizes side-effects within the active layer.
- High-activity, excited-state particles in the cathode significantly enhance transport efficiency of lithium ions within the material.
- A battery management system upgrade – including modifications to the intelligent algorithm and hardware – ensures 40% greater state of charge accuracy, and 10% improvement of pure electric utilization.
- Hybrid vehicle performance improves by 20%, thanks to a multi-level power prediction and control strategy for the battery,
More Benefits of Enhanced CATL FREEVOY Battery Chemistry
The modifications we mentioned earlier knock through to an improved customer experience. The fast ion-conductive coating on the cathode speeds lithium-ion transport, delivering a 175-mile driving range after just 10-minutes charging.
The anode surface also benefits from fast ion conductor-coating technology, second-generation fast-charging graphite, and a novel nano-coating. This teams with a brand-new, ultra-high-conductivity electrolyte to achieve what CATL calls the ultimate fast-charging experience.
And finally, CATL has not forgotten its customers living in northern China. CATL FREEVOY battery chemistry can discharge at extremely cold environments down to -40 degrees celsius. Plus its ability to recharge at -30 degrees celsius completes the picture of an attractive proposition.
