Chinese battery giant CATL unveiled a new fast-charging battery last week—one that the company says can add up to 400 kilometers (about 250 miles) of range in 10 minutes.
That's faster than virtually all EV charging today, and CATL claims the new cells, which it plans to produce commercially by the end of 2023, will "open up an era of EV superfast charging." That is, if the finished product can meet the company's promises for battery capacity, lifetime, and cost.
