CATL's New Freevoy Super Hybrid Battery: A Game Changer for EVs and Hybrids

CATL's Revolutionary Freevoy Super Hybrid Battery

Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) has unveiled its latest innovation in the realm of hybrid vehicles—the Freevoy Super Hybrid Battery. This new battery promises an impressive range of 400km without the need for petrol, thus addressing significant challenges associated with range anxiety that potential buyers face when considering a switch to hybrid or pure electric cars.

Benefits of the Freevoy Battery

• Extended Range: Competitively matches pure electric car battery packs.
• Fast Charging: Just 10 minutes of charging provides up to 280km of driving range.
• Cost-Effective: Plug-in hybrids are approximately 10% less expensive than pure EVs.

According to CATL's chief technology officer, Gao Huan, “Freevoy is not just a battery, it is also an investment that can generate economic returns for car owners.” This approach is timely, as drivers in mainland China have shown a preference for hybrids over pure electric cars to alleviate concerns regarding their driving range.

Market Impact and Future Growth

As CATL continues to dominate the EV battery market with a 37.1% share, the demand for hybrid cars remains strong. In July alone, sales of hybrid cars in China surged to over 508,000 units, accounting for 41.3% of total EV deliveries. This trend marks a significant increase compared to 30% earlier in 2023. With reputable brands like BMW and Tesla incorporating these advancements into their designs, CATL is poised to transform the hybrid vehicle landscape dramatically.
