"in terms of battery swap station planning, catl's goal is to achieve1in the short term,27the goal for the year is3000"at the world power battery conference held on september 1, catl (300750.SZ) chief technology officer (cto) gao huan revealed the above information.

according to the ppt he presented on site,2025in 2018, catl’s battery swap station construction goal is to cover more than30by 2025, the number of battery swap stations will exceed 500 in 70 cities and will exceed 1,500 in 2026.

as a reference,as of the end of august this year,featuredthe total number of battery swap stations deployed by nio in the battery swap mode is2495seat.

catl entered the battery swap field in 2022 and launched the evogo brand for passenger car battery swaps. it also introduced chocolate battery swap block technology, with a single battery swap block providing a range of about 200 kilometers. battery swap users can choose one or more chocolate battery swap blocks to match different mileage requirements.under the battery swap mode, car buyers do not need to bear the battery cost, which can reduce the purchase cost of new energy vehicles.

so far, catl's battery swap stations cover cities such as xiamen, fuzhou, hefei, and guiyang. in xiamen, where battery swap stations were first deployed, 12 stations have been put into operation.

gao huan said,in addition to achieving1.5in addition to fast battery replacement within minutes, it also supports1.6Cchargec refers to the battery charge and discharge capacity rate, 1.6c means20-30the new energy vehicle can be fully charged in minutes. the chocolate battery swap block includes42electricity52electricity56kwh70there are four battery capacities to cover a-class and b-class models.

class a cars are generally defined as compact vehicles, while class b cars are classified as mid-size vehicles.

existgao huan believes that a-class and b-class cars will be the main battlefield for the next stage of passenger car new energy penetration. in the first half of the year, the new energy penetration rate of domestic passenger cars has reached43.7%among them, the new energy penetration rates of a-class and b-class models were 31.7% and 39.3% respectively, which are lower than those of other levels of models.

at the above-mentioned meeting, gao huan also disclosed the latest version information of catl's two main products, kirin battery and shenxing battery.

at its performance briefing in july this year, catl stated that shenxing batteries and kirin batteries began to be mass-produced this year, and will account for 30% to 40% of the company's power battery shipments this year. in the future, the shipment proportion of the two batteries is expected to continue to increase.

kirin battery is a high-end battery brand launched by catl in 2022. it focuses on battery structure innovation and is the third-generation ctp (cell to pack) technology. ctp is a module-free power battery pack. the technical highlight is that it skips the module and directly integrates the battery cells into a battery pack, thereby greatly improving the energy density of the battery and extending the range of new energy vehicles.

according to the information disclosed by gao huan, kirin batteries currently include four versions: super charging, long battery life, all-round and super power.

gao huan revealed that the shenxing battery currently has three versions including shenxing plus, long life and all-round version.

the shenxing battery long-life version features a 10-year or 1 million-kilometer battery life warranty, and is mainly aimed at operating vehicles at the 150,000 yuan level.the range of the shenxing battery all-round series is 800 kilometers, and it can be recharged for 500 kilometers in 15 minutes., which was first launched in march this yearmilletSU7 Procar model.
