BofAS issued a research report stating that CATL (03750.HK) held its 2026 Tech Day yesterday (21st), unveiling a series of breakthrough battery technologies, including ultra-fast charging batteries, condensed-state batteries and sodium-ion batteries. The broker believes CATL leads peers across multiple new technologies, particularly in sodium-ion batteries, which are expected to begin mass production in 4Q26.

The broker noted that the third-generation Shenxing supercharging battery (LFP) achieves an effective charging rate of 10C, with a peak rate of 15C, enabling the battery level to rise from 10% to 35% within 60 seconds. Under low-temperature conditions of minus 30 degrees Celsius, it can charge from 20% to 98% within nine minutes. The Kirin III battery (NCM) delivers an energy density of 280Wh/kg and is 255 kilograms lighter than LFP batteries of the same capacity, helping enhance vehicle acceleration and braking performance. The Kirin condensed-state battery achieves an energy density of 350Wh/kg, enabling flagship sedans to reach a driving range of 1,500 kilometers. The second-generation Freevoy extended-range battery has an energy density of 230Wh/kg, supports a 10C charging rate and provides a pure electric range of 500 to 600 kilometers.
