CATL Unveils Multi-Power Revolution: Sodium Batteries, Dual-Energy Systems & Superfast Charging

At its inaugural Super Tech Day, CATL has redefined the future of energy storage with three revolutionary battery technologies: the Freevoy Dual-Power Battery, the Naxtra Sodium-Ion Battery (the world’s first mass-produced sodium-ion EV power unit), and the second-gen Shenxing Superfast Charging Battery boasting a record 12C peak rate. These advancements signal the dawn of a "Multi-Power Era," where flexibility, sustainability, and extreme performance converge.

Naxtra Sodium-Ion Battery: Cold-Weather Mastery & Energy Freedom

Breaking lithium dependency, CATL’s Naxtra leverages sodium’s abundance and safety to deliver:

• -40°C to +70°C full-range operability (retains 90% power at -40°C even at 10% SOC)

• 175Wh/kg energy density (highest globally for sodium-ion, rivaling LFP batteries)

• 10,000+ cycles and intrinsic material-level safety

• 24V Heavy-Duty Truck Battery: 61% lower lifecycle costs vs. lead-acid, 8-year lifespan, and one-click starts after year-long dormancy

Freevoy Dual-Power Architecture: Customized Energy Solutions

CATL’s dual-power system merges self-forming anode tech (60% volumetric energy boost) with a dual-energy-zone design for:

• Five-fold redundancy: Dual high/low voltage, structure, thermal controls, and safety protocols

• Adaptive chemistry: Mix-and-match systems like Sodium-LFP, LFP-LFP, and NCM hybrids

• 1,500km range (NCM-NCM configuration) and 1MW peak power output

• Scenario-specific optimization: Daily driving + extended-range modes for personalized use

Shenxing Superfast Charging: 12C Speed & Cold Resilience

The upgraded Shenxing LFP battery shatters limits:

• 800km range + 1.3MW peak charging (2.5km/sec)

• -10°C charging: 5-80% SOC in 15 minutes (2x industry speed)

• 830kW sustained output even at low charge

Industry-Wide Implications

CATL’s Multi-Power vision extends beyond EVs to aviation, shipping, and renewables, accelerating solid-state battery adoption. By prioritizing user-centric design over rigid specs, the company is reshaping energy storage into a demand-driven, all-scenario ecosystem.
