It’s a big step forward in China! The Chinese battery giant has already been certified without risk of fires or explosions
CATL, leader mondial des batteries Electric, has just crossed a crucial safety CAP. His new cells resist the worst scenarios. And this, without taking fire or exploding. Incredible isn’t it!
A major advance for the electric battery industry
Safety of batteries is a key issue for the electric vehicle. So the Chinese state has decided to set up a new law. The goal is to improve the reliability of cars a little more. But also to alleviate any risk of explosion.
Our colleagues from Carnewschina said more on April 17. They explain that the Chinese state has adopted a new standard. This relates to the ” Safety requirements for vehicle batteries ”.
And that, Catl understood this. The firm takes up the challenge brilliantly. The Chinese giant has obtained a certif ‘which guarantees the absence of risk of fire or explosion. Very good news isn’t it!
It was on April 27 that the largest battery manufacturer therefore responded to this new local standard. The latter will therefore come into force from July 1, 2026.
This validation is therefore based on extreme tests. The latter simulate conditions much worse than normal use. The batteries had to face overloads. As well as short circuits. And even perforations.
Despite these attacks, there was no negative reaction. These results reassure car manufacturers. As well as customers. The latter are often afraid of accidents related to lithium-ion batteries.
This innovation is based on advanced techno ‘. It therefore incorporates stabilizers and optimized thermal management. Catl managed to eliminate failures. As a reminder, in the past, they have caused incidents.
To date, these batteries are among the safest on the market. This certificate is at a strategic moment, while demand for electric vehicles explodes. Brands are looking for reliable solutions to equip their models.
-Catl pushes the limits of safety
With this advance, Catl consolidates its undisputed leader in the sector. So there was a test on the “Qilin” battery pack in Catl. And this, using “Cell-to-Pack” technology. There was also a test on the cells.
Note that the certificate has been validated by the China Auto Research and Technology Center (Catarc). One thing is certain, this new standard will therefore force local manufacturers to revise their batteries.
This should also push foreign actors to do the same. Security therefore opens up new perspectives. It makes massive electrification more credible than ever.
Thus, Catl is not content to follow the standards! Yes! He redefines them. This certificate therefore marks a turning point in the history of the batteries. It proves that it is possible to combine performance and safety.
Catl has given lots of brands that are present in Europe. Like Zeekr, Lotus and Volvo. They are part of the Chinese group Geely. This advance could therefore accelerate the adoption of these vehicles. And this, dissipating the fears of customers.
Battery fires, although rare, have made an impression. So Catl offers an alternative without compromise. There, where zero risk becomes a reality. The race for innovation is launched. And the Chinese is one step ahead.
With this certificate ‘, Catl sends a strong message! That of the era of dangerous batteries which is finished. The future of these cars promises to be safer, more reliable. And also more efficient than ever.
