From Transport Evolved.
⚠️ Mandatory Disclaimer:
Transport Evolved was invited by CATL to attend the reveal of the Shenxing Pro battery at IAA Mobility 2025. CATL reimbursed our travel, meals, and accommodation so we could bring you this first-person report. YouTube requires this video be marked as "sponsored" due to our reimbursement arrangement. However, while a CATL representative was allowed to view the video prior to publishing to verify quoted figures, Transport Evolved retained full editorial and production control.
Following our coverage of the official reveal of CATL’s latest battery technology—the LFP-based Shenxing Pro in Munich—we had the chance to speak directly with one of the engineers behind the battery. Here’s what we learned about the cell design, the intended benefits, and what’s next for ultra-fast charging and ultra-long-life batteries in Europe.
