Why the "(Tesla Supplier)" remark, which is not in the original article?
CATL is the largest battery manufacturing company, supplying battery for almost every high-end devices.

#12Great, but how large and heavy is the battery? The announcement doesn't say anything about the energy density.

#13There seems to be no indication of the power demands of charging at this rate. I don't have the figures to do the maths but I suspect a normal household supply could not support this. Anyone?

Exactly what I was thinking. They mention 700km as some reference point, then 400km in 10 minutes, not sure what the density is.
Hyundai/Kia launched the EV6 with 10-80% charging in 17 minutes more than two years ago.
They then launched Hyundai IONIQ 6 with 10-80% at the 16 minute mark.
I guess we will be seeing 10-80% times get close to gas pump refill times in the near future.

Founded in 2011. It’s mind-bending how they grew so fast..

But you don’t need to have a 10 minute charger at home. At home overnight charging is completely fine.

I'm not an engineer but I attempted to do some napkin math in my comment in a previous topic about this CATL battery. I'll copy/paste:
Assuming 400km worth of charge needs maybe 60 kw/h of energy, to deliver that amount of energy in 10 minutes would require at least 360kw charger. Charging just a few cars simultaneously will require megawatts of power. I wonder what are the implications in terms of city infrastructure or investment costs to building charging stations for that.

They say 4C and a Model 3 battery pack is apparently 60kWh so that would be 240kW. That's ignoring inefficiency though, so we're talking significant fractions of a megawatt to charge one car.

Limitless government subsidies can do wonders.

Probably not, but does it matter? When parking at home, your car usually is a few hours at rest anyway. This is interesting for charging at a service station.
