At the Munich Motor Show, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited (CATL), the colossus of global EV battery innovation, unveiled its magnum opus, the Shenxing Pro. Heralded as the world’s first LFP battery to deliver a staggering 758 km WLTP range, the launch was less a product announcement and more a proclamation of intent, an audacious bid to redefine the trajectory of electric mobility.

The Shenxing Pro does not merely boast range; it embodies a trifecta of safety, endurance, and accessibility. With an unprecedented 12-year lifespan or 1,000,000 kilometers of guaranteed performance, CATL has effectively rewritten the benchmarks of battery durability. More impressively, this engineering marvel achieves such longevity while simultaneously lowering production costs, a duality that makes it not only aspirational but eminently pragmatic.

Its pièce de résistance, however, lies in its charging alacrity. Europe now claims the fastest-charging battery on its soil: the Shenxing Pro can absorb nearly 478 km of range in a mere ten minutes, courtesy of its 12C peak charging capability. Even in the unforgiving frigidity of 20°C, it delivers a formidable 410 km within minutes, proving its resilience against nature’s most biting tests. With up to 830 kW output at 20% state of charge, the battery enables vehicles to catapult from 0 to 100 km/h in a blistering 2.5 seconds, a performance that rivals supercars, now powered by sustainability.

Dr. Lingbo Zhu, CATL’s CTO of International Business, aptly declared Shenxing Pro as the “ultimate solution for European mobility. This is not mere rhetoric. With alliances spanning 200 carmakers globally and over 1,000 European suppliers, CATL is evolving beyond exporter to an embedded European partner. Its vision in Europe, for Europe, and ultimately of Europe signals an epoch where energy sovereignty, ecological stewardship, and technological supremacy converge. The Shenxing Pro is more than a battery; it is CATL’s clarion call to a continent at the cusp of an electrified renaissance.
