CATL hosted its 2025 Tech day today and it had many interesting details, much more than what is reported on SCMP, Bloomberg and Reuters. Unfortunately there isn't a single reputable English source reporting on it. And hence no decent submission on HN.

- ksec 2y agoI watched it. Basically low temperature ( - 30C ) driving is solved. Much faster charging. Safer than previous gen Sodium battery which is already safer than LFP, and LFP is safer than Lithium Ion. And a new type of battery package that combines fast charging and slow release battery in one. 175Wh/Kg and working towards 200Wh/Kg in the future as they previous said. We are not talking of some non-sense or far in the future solid state battery. We are talking about something they will ship soon. I wonder if Tesla have anything up their sleeves.
- ferguess_k 2y agoThanks, if they really solve all these, then EV in Canada is going to be a much less headache during the winters.
- ksec 2y agoWhen I watched it I really thought it hit all the point and now good enough for 95% of all use cases. ( And I dont even particularly like EVs ) Range, Charging Speed, Durability, Safety and working environment. I cant even think of an angle that it is still significantly lacking. That is on the assumption Canada allows these import. :(
