Read More StoriesCATL is set to introduce its upgraded Kirin Battery, boasting a charging speed of up to 6C towards the end of the year.
After a span of three years, BYD is gearing up to unveil its upgraded blade batteries and a 6C rapid-charging battery towards the same period.
The sector is progressing from the 3C and 4C stages to the 6C phase, necessitating enhancements in both battery components and overall system designs to achieve greater energy storage capacity.
Rapid-charging batteries demand sophisticated materials such as rapid-charging graphite and composite iron lithium + ternary systems.
Despite these advancements, the absence of ultra-fast charging infrastructure poses a significant hurdle, with charging stations required to surpass 360kW to accommodate higher charging speeds like 4C and 5C.
