In recent years, in the new energy vehicle market, extended-range hybrid models have become an undisputed main force. However, many extended-range hybrid models suffer from shortcomings such as short range, slow replenishment, and low-temperature attenuation, which have also left many car owners deeply troubled.
On October 24, 2024, CATL officially unveiled its newly developed super extended-range hybrid battery, "Xiaoyao," in Beijing. With its outstanding performance and multiple innovative technologies, this battery attracted widespread attention in the industry as soon as it was released.
As the world's first extended-range hybrid battery with a pure electric range of more than 400 kilometers and 4C ultra-fast charging capability, Xiaoyao can achieve "one charge, one week of commuting," freeing car owners entirely from the annoyance of frequent charging.
In terms of charging efficiency, thanks to 4C ultra-fast charging technology, the super extended-range hybrid battery can also achieve an outstanding performance of "10 minutes of charging, more than 280 km of range replenishment" under a 400 km range configuration, completely eliminating car owners' charging anxiety.
In addition, the Xiaoyao super extended-range hybrid battery also adopts sodium-ion battery technology, enabling discharge in an extremely cold environment of minus 40 degrees, charging in an environment of minus 30 degrees, and a driving experience at minus 20 degrees that is no different from driving at normal temperature.
CATL's continuous innovation in sodium-ion battery technology has completely broken through the low-temperature limitations of new energy vehicles, greatly broadened the battery's usage scenarios, and effectively solved problems such as distorted range prediction or degraded power performance in harsh high- and low-temperature environments.
With ultra-high performance, super strong capability, as well as high reliability and high safety, the Xiaoyao super extended-range hybrid battery's performance can be called an all-around "hexagonal warrior," fully opening the era of "large battery capacity" for extended-range hybrids.
As of now, the Xiaoyao super extended-range hybrid battery has been successfully installed in multiple models from several brands, including Li Auto, Avatr, Deepal, Qiyuan, and Neta. CATL revealed that in the future, more brands and models will be equipped with the Xiaoyao super extended-range hybrid battery, bringing consumers a more relaxed and pleasant travel experience.
