Tesla Supplier CATL's Qilin Battery Will Have 641 Miles or Range: Big for Tesla I have big news about an electric vehicle, which is powered by a battery from a major Tesla battery supplier CATL, and which will have 641 miles of range on a single charge with this battery. Does this mean, this same battery may be supplied to Tesla too and soon we will see longer ranges with future Teslas? I mean the range of future electric vehicles will be prolonged, considering the development of technology, but is this the time that new electric vehicles move beyond 250-400 miles of range? Also, this company is coming to the United States and seeking an IPO in the near future in the United States automotive market.
So Geely's electric vehicle brand Zeekr's Zeekr 001 with CATL Qilin Battery will have a range of 1,032 kilometers, the latest regulatory documents imply. CATL is a major battery supplier for many Tesla vehicles, especially in Giga Shanghai.
On June 23, CATL unveiled their Qilin Battery, or CTP 3.0 battery, which brings a new level of battery system integration. It is designed to allow a 72% volume utilization and 255Wh/kg energy density, allowing vehicles to have a range of up to 1,000 kilometers. This new battery pack structure is not related to battery chemistry, and can be used for both ternary batteries and lithium iron phosphate batteries.
