The End For Tesla’s Megapack?? Introducing CATL’s New ZERO Degradation Energy Storage System!

Imogen recently visited EES Europe in Munich to see the unveiling of CATL’s new zero degradation storage battery, and also the new Shenxing superfast DC charger which is set to have a huge impact on the growth and availability of rapid chargers for EVs.

The EES exhibition is Europe's biggest Battery and Energy Storage show, and it’s a who’s who of major players in the industry.

As you’ll see we weren’t the only ones interested to see this new technology up close from global leaders CATL.

Had the pleasure of visiting the CATL booth at EES Europe too and if these performance levels are indeed true then it's mind blowing. It just shows how far ahead the Chinese battery giants are compared to the ROW!

Best reporter!
And well done CATL, i mean 15000 life cycles for a battery??? That is just amazing.

[alexfunk]

Um, isn't Tesla one of CATL's biggest customers? They both win!

The problem with all these BESS solutions in the UK is that they need planning permission. There's one been proposed about 10 miles from me and the NIMBY's are at it again! It'll be mired in planning disputes (and potentially refused) for 10 times as long as it would take to actually build.
We are stuffed in the UK with the fundementals for Energy Transition. People don't want Super Grid upgrade pylons, offshore windfarm cable landing stations, windfarm grid connections sites.
It's because so much of this is in the countryside. There's a sneaking suspicion that eventually the fossil fuel lobby will start to help fund these local campaign groups to slow down the transition.

In China they simply just say "you're having it" so there's no arguement. I am not suggesting I want a one party dictatorship in the UK, far from it. But somehow there has to be a form of overiding "national interest" process on this transition that RAPIDLY overcomes bottlenecks and gets stuff done.

Don't let dirty geopolitics and fossil fuel industry get in the way of what humanity truly needs. Well done CATL and all the other innovative Chinese companies.

This lady will do well delivering the news in Renewables. What a stand out. Obviously very articulate and smart.

[theunknownunknowns]

Imogen, this might interest you.

Deutsche Welle News Ukraine covered a story on the strategic move to solar+ batteries in Ukraine with a goal of making an "unbreakable power grid" through decentralised generation. National and local governments are incentivising solar uptake for critical infrastructure like hospitals but also highrise apartment buildings to communities to individual homes. Also over 300 grid scale solar farms are being built.

CATL is coming out with just such amazing technologies, Imogen great video keep up with great work ;)

[TheComputerGuyDR]

Anyway you slice this information - we are moving forward was this tech and that’s a good thing. Faster we get off reliance of fossil energy the better. 🎉🎉🎉😊

[rossadamdixon]

Why is everything branded as the end of Tesla?!?! Everything Electric should be better than this!!!

[samjohnston]

CATL are engineering very thoughtful solutions to new tricky problems. Thanks Imogen & team for a great segment.

[Stuart_Johnson_Solutions]

I could listen to Imogen talk tech all day!

[aufornvic]

It's very exciting seeing the problems being solved, one by one, and Imogen, you are doing a wonderful job explaining it all to us. Thankyou.

[AJames-jrkw]

Thank you Imogen for the presentation. Always a pleasure to watch.

[SodViber]

The world's largest super fast charging network built in 2 years with 100K charging stations? Amazing, game changing if it's possible and comes to pass. Very big news for EV drivers with fast DC charging

[astranc]

Size for grid storage is less important than Total cost of ownership. This is really cool but if it's twice the cost.... I would love these batteries more in new electric cars

[udavster]

It's stationary BESS, no one cares about density. Other than that - great news

[dpie]

What a top notch presenter! Very beautiful, smart and well articulated. ❤

Imogen
.
I don't suppose youve checked the location of the newest CATL factory, (due to start ramping in Q1 2025)?
.
Its about 1km from the Tesla BESS "Megapactory" due for completion at about the same time...
Coincidence???
.
I *WONDER* where the cells will be coming from?.
.
Rather than competing, its almost as though Tesla and CATL are becoming symbiotic?
(Great for *BOTH* companies)

[EugeneLambert]

Impressive. Lots of great info packed into a bite-sized episode.
