we all know that in the field of fuel vehicles, if you want to produce and design a good fuel vehicle, the most important parts are the engine and the gearbox. so in the field of electric vehicles, the most important thing is not the motor? actually, it is not the battery!

strictly speaking, electric motors are obviously inferior to batteries in terms of manufacturing difficulty and importance, which is the main reason why major car companies and power battery manufacturers have to continuously develop batteries. if the power battery is not well designed, it will lead to slow charging speed, low mileage, and the risk of spontaneous combustion. therefore, some car companies with insufficient strength basically purchase power batteries from abroad. in fact, there are only two very famous power battery manufacturers in my country.

one we are familiar withbyd, another equally famous company is catl. catl has a very sufficient market share.ideal auto，xpeng motors，niomany car companies have used catl's batteries. whether it is charging speed, battery density, or terminal market recognition, they are all excellent.

recently, catl has launched a new battery called catl tianxing battery. although it is not a solid-state battery, it is also very impressive.

at present, this battery has been officially installed for mass production, rather than in the test stage. the density of this battery reaches 175wh/kg, and it is currently mainly used in the field of commercial vehicles, that is, the buses, logistics vehicles or trucks we are familiar with. the emergence of this new battery is very important for the commercial vehicle field, because there is a common pain point in the commercial vehicle field, that is, when the cargo capacity is high, the battery life will be severely reduced. an electric truck driver has conducted a test and it takes almost 4 charges to travel 200 kilometers. when the catl's tianxing battery is fully charged, it can travel 500km with a load, which is a remarkable achievement.

according to public information released by catl, the battery adopts a double-sided liquid cooling design, which can greatly reduce the risk of battery spontaneous combustion. in addition, the battery uses graphite material and a new manufacturing process at the positive and negative electrodes, as well as a special design process, which can meet the 4c charging standard, that is, it can be charged in 15 minutes and has a range of 500km.

in addition, this new power battery has effectively improved its service life. compared with the current 4c basic version, its service life has doubled to an ultra-long service life of 15 years and 1.5 million kilometers. it is precisely because of the rapid breakthroughs in ternary lithium and lithium iron phosphate batteries that solid-state batteries are mentioned less and less by netizens and car companies.

although electric vehicles are developing rapidly, most of them are household vehicles and some small commercial electric vehicles. in the future, buses, logistics vehicles, construction trucks, and muck trucks can all use new energy vehicles. catl's new tianxing battery is clearly ready for the update and iteration of vehicles in these industries. it is also a very disruptive product that will greatly promote the transformation of the entire auto market to electric vehicles.
