CATL, the world's biggest Li-Ion battery supplier, expects mass production to begin in 2023.
As electric vehicles become more integral in various regions, related technologies also continue to advance. Batteries, in particular, are a constant source of concern. In 2022, range anxiety is still a real thing—although it has definitely been improving, particularly on the car and truck side of the equation.   6park.com

Lithium-ion batteries are currently the standard, although researchers are also investigating other potential technologies, including zinc-bromine and aluminum-sulfur batteries. As the current largest lithium-ion EV battery producer in the world, Contemporary Amperex Technology Company Limited (CATL) clearly has an interest in improving its bread and butter, lithium-ion battery tech. 
That’s why, over the summer of 2022, it introduced its CTP 3.0 lithium-ion battery technology, called Qilin. Thanks to advances across multiple areas including energy density, thermal cooling efficiency, and stability, CATL claims that Qilin boasts some impressive numbers. Energy density, the company says, is up to 255 watt-hours per kilogram. This battery is currently in use in a Chinese-market EV, the Zeekr 001 (produced by Geely), which boasts a claimed 1,000-kilometer range (just over 621 miles) on a single charge. （转载可删）
