CATL Teases Five-Minute EV Charge With Longer Range Than BYD

CATL previewed new battery innovations, including a fast-charging battery that provides 520 kilometers of range in five minutes, outperforming BYD's offering of 400 kilometers.
The company introduced a sodium-ion battery called Naxtra, promising 200 kilometers for hybrids and 500 kilometers for EVs, seen as a safer alternative to lithium.
CATL believes that sodium-ion batteries could replace half the market for lithium iron phosphate batteries, increasing efficiency and reducing costs.
Despite these advancements, U.S. residents are unlikely to benefit due to trade tensions and recent government actions against CATL.
