Go Further, Go Faster, Go Safer: CATL Innovations Optimize the E-mobility Experience

FRANKFURT, Germany, Sept. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL), a vital player in electric vehicle (EV) battery technology and manufacturing, will showcase cutting-edge technologies at the International Automobile Exhibition (IAA) in Frankfurt in hall 4.1, booth C07, from September 10-13. Demonstrating how "Innovation Powers Life," CATL will showcase how its innovative e-mobility and battery solutions are supporting massive growth the EV sector.

At this year's exhibition, CATL will highlight its outstanding product series, including battery cells with both NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) and LFP (lithium iron phosphate) chemistry systems, as well as battery management systems (BMS) with smart calculation and high energy density battery packs. Meanwhile, four key CATL technologies and solutions will be featured at the booth's interactive experiences:

    --  Ultra-fast charging: Based on the ultra-fast-charging battery cells
        developed by CATL, both NMC and LFP batteries can be charged to 80% in
        15 minutes, which will ensure 400 kilometers of driving mileage. This
        improves the travel experience through efficiency and convenience.
    --  Long battery life: CATL is applying technology innovation to the
        improvement EV battery life, and has achieved a total battery life of
        600,000 kilometers. Such a long battery lifespan also expands
        application and creates additional value for consumers by, for example,
        enabling commercial usage, vehicle-to-grid and secondary use.
    --  Environmental adaptation: Batteries developed by CATL can accommodate
        temperatures ranging from -30°C to 60°C to ensure driving
        sustainability. Its self-heating technology can help a battery warm up
        from -20°C to 10°C in 15 minutes, which enables EVs to go further in
        extreme work conditions.
