What is CATL Shenxing battery and which cars use it?
Shenxing is the single most important LFP innovation of the decade because it closes the fast-charge gap with NCM at LFP's lower cost and safety. Here's what it is and where you can buy it.
The engineering
New graphite anode coating (multi-graphite gradient), optimised electrolyte with higher-conductivity Li salts, and re-engineered cell tab design reduce internal resistance ~30% vs prior LFP.
Result: sustained 4C charge rate — a 70 kWh pack takes 280 kW peak, holds 250+ kW to 60% SoC.
Which cars ship it (2024–26)
- Zeekr 007 (75 kWh Shenxing, 616 km CLTC)
- Zeekr 001 base RWD (2024 refresh, 100 kWh Shenxing option)
- Aito M9 (extended-range battery pack)
- GAC Aion V (2024 refresh)
- Chery Fulwin A8 (2025)
- Neta S (2024 refresh)
Shenxing 2 (announced 2025)
Adds native 800V operation, 5C peak (12-minute 10–80% on any capable charger), and better cold-weather performance thanks to a self-heating design. First cars: Zeekr flagship 2026, Xpeng G9 refresh, Aito M7 Ultra.
- 01Shenxing = fastest-charging LFP on sale.
- 02Zeekr 007 is the most accessible Shenxing car in Europe.
- 03Shenxing 2 pushes this further with 5C on 800V.
