CATL Kirin battery helps Ideal MEGA achieve "500 kilometers of charging in 12 minutes"

On September 1, CATL announced on its official Weibo that its latest product "Kirin Battery" will bring a major breakthrough to Li Auto's first pure electric model, Li MEGA. It is said that the new battery technology enables Ideal MEGA to charge 500 kilometers in only 12 minutes, achieving extremely fast charging speed and excellent battery life.

CATL revealed that Kirin batteries are ideal for Ideal MEGA provides a peak charging rate of up to 5C, which means that the battery system can support high-rate charging, thus greatly shortening the charging time. This innovative technology can not only improve the microscopic transmission rate of lithium ions, but also expand the overcurrent capability boundary of the battery. In addition, the new battery system also has functions such as optimizing the internal resistance of the battery cells to reduce heat generation and improving the cooling capacity of the battery system, further improving the performance and stability of the battery.

According to the editor’s understanding, Li Auto previously claimed to have “charging 500 kilometers in 12 minutes” as its high-voltage pure electric goal, and is actively promoting the construction of a 5C super charging network. Recently, Li Auto announced that it has added 13 new supercharging stations in the service areas of Chongqing Jianlong, Nanjing Qixiashan Bridge, Handan Daming, Xingtai Ningjin, Xingtai Qinghe, Baoding Tangxian, and Tangshan Luanzhou service areas. The commissioning of these sites brings the total number of Li Auto’s 5C super charging stations to 50

In addition, Li Auto plans to build 3,000 Li Auto super charging stations by 2025 to meet the charging needs of future pure electric models . Currently, Li Auto is fully preparing and deploying a high-speed supercharging network to ensure smooth operations before the delivery of its pure electric models.
