Japanese car maker Toyota said last year that it aims to release a car in 2027–28 that could travel 1,000 kilometres and recharge in just 10 minutes, using a battery type that swaps liquid ...
According to Consumer Reports, the average replacement cost for an electric car battery ranges from $5,000 to $15,000, which is similar to the replacement cost of an engine. However, in some cases, only certain modules in the battery pack will have to be replaced instead of the whole battery pack.
Yet questions remain about this battery and what it will mean for vehicles, Shang says. By saying that the batteries could be used in a vehicle with a range of 700 kilometers (430 miles), CATL’s announcement implies high energy density. But it’s not clear how large the vehicle and battery will need to be to deliver that kind of range.
CATL's new Shenxing batteries could speed EV charging. CATL Chinese battery giant CATL unveiled a new fast-charging battery last week—one that the company says can add up to 400 kilometers (about 250 miles) of range in 10 minutes.
Innovation in battery materials, if matched with progress in charging infrastructure, could help mimic the convenience of gas-powered cars and encourage adoption of EVs. CATL, whose name is an acronym for Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited, is the world’s biggest EV battery manufacturer.
CATL would be the first to put these fast-charging cells in electric vehicles. With lithium-ion batteries, there tends to be a stiff trade-off between how much energy they can store and how quickly they can charge. These batteries can generally be split into two categories: “energy cells” and “power cells.”
The majority of electric vehicles are powered by a lithium-ion battery pack, the same type of battery that powers common electronic devices like laptop computers and cellphones. However, the units powering EVs are massive and usually span the area of the vehicle's floor between the front and rear wheels.

Conversely, an electric car can use any charging station in China because all use a common plug, and fast-charging technology is reducing the time for a recharge. Jing Yang, a Fitch Ratings director who focuses on China''s auto and renewable energy sectors, said automakers may be concerned that adopting a standard battery pack could cede too much …
Globally, 95% of the growth in battery demand related to EVs was a result of higher EV sales, while about 5% came from larger average battery size due to the increasing share of SUVs within electric car sales.
On October 24, 2024, CATL launched Freevoy Super Hybrid Battery, the world''s first hybrid vehicle battery to achieve a pure electric range of over 400 kilometers and 4C superfast charging, heralding a new era for high-capacity EREV and PHEV batteries.
Designed specifically for EREVs and PHEVs, the Freevoy battery from CATL frees drivers from the constant need to charge, a common drawback of existing hybrid vehicles. The new battery...
