Chinese power battery giant CATL will hold an event on August 27 to announce the first vehicle models that will use its Qilin Battery, following the official launch of the latest technology at the end of June, the company said on its official Weibo account on Friday.
Car brands including Li Auto, Neta and Lotus have previously said they will use CATL’s Qilin Battery.
CATL officially unveiled the Qilin Battery, or CTP (cell to pack) 3.0 battery, on June 23, saying it takes battery system integration to a new level.
