Part 12/12:
While many industry announcements on battery breakthroughs tend to be overly optimistic or slow to materialize, CATL’s recent claims appear more grounded due to their existing manufacturing scale and technological readiness. The proximity of CATL’s factories to Tesla’s Shanghai operations gives the American EV maker a distinct advantage in integrating these new batteries swiftly.
If mass production proceeds as planned, expect up to a 10-15% increase in range, reduced costs, and potentially more affordable EV options entering the market soon. These advancements will likely accelerate EV adoption and push automakers toward more competitive pricing, ultimately transforming the landscape of electric mobility.
