Chinese EV battery maker CATL launches 2nd-gen battery, says it can add over 300 miles of range in just minutes


Battery giant CATL launched a new version of its Shenxing EV battery, as it goes toe to toe with the likes of Tesla and BYD.

The race to build EVs that can charge as quickly as it takes to refuel a gas vehicle is heating up. CATL launched an updated version of its Shenxing battery on Monday, which it said allows electric vehicles to add 520 km (323 miles) of range in just five minutes of charging. The latest news sees CATL potentially snatch the lead in the global race to build EV batteries that can charge in the same amount of time it takes to fill a car up with gas.
