- The Shenxing Pro is the first product featuring CATL’s latest NP 3.0 technology, targeting Europe’s EV market with high safety, ultra-fast charging, and long range.
- The Shenxing Pro comes in two variants, offering a long-life version and an ultra-fast charging version.
CATL (SHE: 300750) unveiled its new Shenxing Pro battery, a new lineup of its Shenxing series, to accelerate expansion in Europe.
The Chinese battery giant launched the Shenxing Pro ahead of the IAA Mobility auto show in Munich, Germany on September 7, calling it the optimal solution for European electric mobility.
The battery is the first product featuring CATL’s latest NP 3.0 (No Propagation 3.0) technology, based on lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry.
CATL said this technology represents the pinnacle of its seven-year innovation in No Propagation (NP) safety. It can sustain power supply for over an hour after thermal runaway, enabling drivers to safely maneuver the vehicle away from hazardous areas.
It prevents visible flames and smoke during thermal runaway, thereby avoiding secondary accidents caused by obstructed visibility.
The Shenxing Pro offers two variants: the Shenxing Pro Super Long Life & Long Range Battery and the Shenxing Pro Super-Fast Charging Battery.
The long life version achieves a WLTP range of 758 kilometers with a lifespan of up to 12 years or 1 million kilometers.
After 200,000 kilometers, this battery exhibits only 9 percent performance degradation, aligning with European leasing market demands, CATL said.
The superfast charging version can add 478 kilometers of WLTP range in just 10 minutes –equivalent to 0.8 kilometers per second — making it Europe’s leading superfast charging LFP battery.
Even at 20 percent state of charge (SOC), the superfast charging version can achieve 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 2.5 seconds at 830 kW, CATL said.
The battery maintains exceptional performance in extreme cold, delivering 410 kilometers of range after a 20-minute charge at -20°C.
The superfast charging version comes with a warranty of up to 10 years or 240,000 kilometers.
By integrating CATL’s technology with Europe’s decades of automotive expertise, the company aims to go beyond ‘in Europe, for Europe’ and ultimately ‘of Europe,’ said Tan Libin, CCO and SVP of global business of CATL.
CATL seeks to build an upgraded EV ecosystem in Europe, spanning from material production, battery manufacturing, remanufacturing, and recycling to accelerate the region’s energy transition, Tan stated.
