CATL’s sodium-ion battery claims 15,000 cycles, 20-year life, and swappable cold-weather EV performance.
Key takeaways
- 15,000 cycles is the number that turns CATL’s sodium-ion battery pitch from “cold-weather EV fix” into something bigger: a pack that could outlast the car around it.
- CATL’s latest sodium-ion cells have cleared that 15,000-cycle benchmark ahead of mass production later this year, translating to a reported **20-year operational l...
- That matters because winter is not a small edge case for EVs. In regions such as Xinjiang, where temperatures regularly fall below -25°C, conventional **LFP ba...
- Why does a 15,000-cycle sodium-ion pack matter right now?
