On April 21, at the 2026 CATL Super Tech Day, CATL officially released its third-generation Shenxing Superfast Charging Battery, supporting ultra-high-rate charging equivalent to 10C and peaking at 15C. Specifically, charging from 10% to 35% takes just 1 minute, and from 10% to 98% takes only 6 minutes and 27 seconds; in an extremely cold environment of -30°C, charging from 20% to 98% also takes only 9 minutes, comprehensively surpassing the flash charging technology previously released by BYD on March 5, which achieved charging from 10% to 97% in 9 minutes. More notably, the Shenxing battery does not exclusively possess this charging speed; the Kirin battery and Xiaoyao battery will also be fully equipped with this performance as standard in the future.

Türkiye Accelerates 33 GW Battery Storage Pipeline to Strengthen Renewable Energy Transition

Türkiye is rapidly scaling up its battery energy storage sector, with over 33 GW of wind and solar projects integrated with storage already approved under recent policy support introduced in 2022. The strategy supports Türkiye’s long-term goal of raising renewable energy’s share above 50% by 2035 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2053. Most projects are expected to adopt lithium-ion technology with defined storage requirements to improve grid stability. As projects begin transitioning from approval to construction and operation, Türkiye is emerging as a significant hub for hybrid renewable-plus-storage development.
