CATL Qilin CTP 3.0 140Kwh 

CATL and Arun Plus partner up for cell-to-pack (CTP) cooperation in Thailand

CATL unveiled its 3.0 CTP (cell-to-pack) Qilin battery back in 2022 and on paper, its specs look impressive. The battery production reportedly achieved the level required for reliable distribution, which means the first cars with the 1,000 km battery are about to hit the market.

CATL Qilin CTP 3.0 140Kwh The biggest improvement introduced by the Qilin battery is the CATL’s blade cells are stacked vertically on a common plate, but each cell is separated by another thin plate. That plate, in turn, is filled with the coolant which allows for unprecedented thermal control. That means 0 t0 80% DC charging in 10 minutes – according to CATL.

CATL Qilin CTP 3.0 140Kwh didn’t settle just for the cooling improvement, the company increased volume efficiency by a whopping 72% which translates to a much higher energy density of 255Wh/kg. This improved density together with the new cooling system, can apparently deliver 1,000 km of range and replenish the battery in 10 minutes when empty.

Qilin battery will be available in two chemistries – industry-standard ternary composition and the headliner 255Wh/kg energy density, and the cheaper option – the LFP composition with 160Wh/kg.

Those are big statements, and the company stands by them. Judging by the public response from China, they are onto something. The first vehicle to introduce the Qilin battery is the Zeekr 009 MPV, with most of the buyers choosing the Qilin battery option, despite the extra waiting time required.

The Qilin mass production has been delayed by a couple of months due to some technical issues, and those delays meant Zeekr 009 MPV was delayed as well. According to the latest local reports from China, CATL put all the problems to rest, and the battery is being manufactured at full speed.

Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) and Arun Plus Company Limited (Arun Plus) recently reached an agreement on CTP (cell-to-pack) cooperation in Thailand to serve local EV manufacturers, enhancing the potential for Thailand to become the battery production hub of ASEAN.

CATL will supply a CTP production line to Arun Plus, and share with Arun Plus the knowledge and technologies of CTP battery pack manufacturing.

Arun Plus is a wholly owned subsidiary of PTT Public Company Limited (PTT), Thailand’s national oil company with a well-established infrastructure throughout the country. In November 2022, Arun Plus set up a subsidiary to manufacture EVs to serve the rising demand in the region.

This partnership will help empower Arun Plus’s EV production capability, leading to the next step of building an EV battery ecosystem in Thailand and ASEAN in the future.

The cooperation also marks another important step for CATL’s global footprint as it explores diverse forms of cooperation in regional markets, thus accelerating e-mobility and energy transition of the world.

In June 2022, CATL launched CTP 3.0 Qilin, the third generation of its CTP technology. (Earlier post.) Qilin features a volume utilization efficiency of 72% and an energy density of up to 255 Wh/kg, it achieves the highest integration level worldwide so far CATL claims.
