CATL Introduces World’s Fastest-Charging EV Battery
Chinese company CATL unveils a battery that charges an electric vehicle for 520 km in just 5 minutes. The technology will be integrated into 67 vehicle models in 2025.
The world’s largest manufacturer of EV batteries, China’s CATL, has announced the development of a groundbreaking battery technology that enables record-fast charging. According to the company, the new battery can deliver a driving range of up to 520 kilometers after just five minutes of charging. This is made possible by advanced materials and engineering solutions that increase energy density and reduce internal resistance.
The new technology retains efficiency even in cold temperatures. Unlike most batteries that slow down significantly in sub-zero conditions, CATL's innovation maintains stable performance in harsh climates. This is particularly important for regions with cold weather, where EV performance is often limited.
CATL stated that the technology will be implemented in at least 67 electric vehicle models launching in 2025, including both passenger and commercial vehicles. Automakers are already adapting their platforms to the new battery architecture. Final testing and certification processes are currently underway for mass production to begin.
CATL is a global leader in battery manufacturing, collaborating with major automakers in China, Europe, and the U.S., including Tesla, BMW, Volkswagen, NIO, and Hyundai. The new development could give Chinese battery technology a competitive edge amid tightening global competition and rising demand for high-performance power sources.
Analysts say ultra-fast charging is a major milestone for the industry, addressing one of the main barriers to EV adoption: long charging times. Successful implementation will enable automakers to offer models comparable in convenience to gasoline vehicles, especially for long-distance travel.
CATL has not disclosed full technical specifications, but the innovation involves a new anode design and advanced thermal management. Safety remains a top priority — the batteries have passed crash tests and thermal evaluations, proving resilience to overheating and mechanical damage.
Experts believe this launch may shift EV market demand. Early adopters of the fast-charging system could gain a major competitive advantage. It may also accelerate the development of compatible charging infrastructure, which needs to evolve to support higher power standards.
Amid growing interest in clean transportation and carbon reduction, such breakthroughs are crucial for sustainable mobility strategies. Many governments are incentivizing EV adoption through subsidies and infrastructure investment. Faster charging will help accelerate this transition and improve public perception of EVs.
CATL’s initiative may mark a turning point in battery industry history. Successful deployment in 2025 could set a new benchmark, making EV charging as fast and convenient as traditional refueling.
