【Daimler Trucks to Open Its Charging Network to Third Parties】
The European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) has stated that achieving the EU's carbon reduction targets by 2030 will require approximately 35,000 fast-charging points with an output of 800 kW or higher. However, Europe currently has fewer than 1,000 charging points for heavy-duty commercial vehicles, and existing charging capacity remains insufficient.
To address this gap, Daimler Trucks has introduced a semi-public charging network concept. By 2030, the company plans to deploy over 3,000 fast-charging points across Europe, making it the continent’s largest fast-charging network for commercial vehicles. The service is expected to launch in Q3 2025.
Under this new electric truck charging solution, customers of Daimler Trucks’ TruckCharge brand will be able to open their charging infrastructure to external users for a fee. As part of the semi-public network, charging station owners can make their facilities available to others when not in use, helping to create a more comprehensive charging network for electric trucks.

BAIC R&D Unveils High-Performance Sodium-Ion Battery Prototypes with Industry-Leading Specs

SMM learned that BAIC R&D recently announced the successful development of sodium-ion battery prototypes. The first prismatic battery pack using prismatic battery cells achieved an energy density exceeding 170 Wh/kg, placing it in the industry’s top tier. It also supports 4C ultra-fast charging, enabling recharging in 11 minutes. Its temperature-range adaptability and safety performance are outstanding, with stable operation across an ultra-wide range from -40°C to 60°C, energy retention above 92% at -20°C, and no risk of thermal runaway under extreme scenarios. At present, this sodium-ion battery has completed sample finalization, established mass-production processes for prismatic products, and filed 20 patents around core technologies. BAIC has also leveraged this to complete a full technology roadmap covering lithium batteries, solid-state batteries, and sodium-ion batteries, and has mastered a complete set of core sodium-ion battery technologies.
