Their core technology is centered on electrochemical energy storage, rather than directly involving solar, wind, hydrogen, or grid technologies (Source: wikipedia.org). CATL's products include high energy density batteries for electric vehicles, utilizing cell-to-pack (CTP) technology, which improves volume utilization by 15-20% and reduces battery pack components by 40% (Source: catl.com). Additionally, CATL offers ultra-long-life traction batteries with a service life of up to 16 years or 2 million kilometers, and fast-charging batteries that can reach 80% charge in just 5 minutes (Source: catl.com).

CATL participated in the Zhangbei Wind-Solar Storage Transmission Project, which was the largest wind-solar storage project in the world at the time, and delivered the first phase of China's largest indoor fixed ESS—the Jinjiang 100 MWh energy storage station (Source: catl.com). The factory in Arnstadt, Germany, began module production in August 2021 and started battery production in 2023, with the new building equipped with a full-house photovoltaic system (Source: catl-career.com). Furthermore, CATL is expanding into multiple international markets, including R&D and manufacturing bases in Germany, France, the United States, and Chile (Source: craft.co).
