Reporterfy Media & Travel: How Sodium Batteries Are About to Crush Lithium | CHINA

“CATL Unveils Game-Changing Sodium-Ion Battery | No Fire, No Explosion | Auto Show Exclusive!” China’s battery giant CATL has taken a bold leap into the future of electric vehicles by announcing the mass production of its Naxtra sodium-ion EV battery packs by the end of 2025. At the Shanghai Auto Show 2025, award-winning journalist Alex Reporterfy gets exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the CATL pavilion and speaks with top executives about this game-changing innovation.

📢 BREAKING NEWS: On April 29, CATL officially passed two GB 38031-2025 “Safety Requirements for Power Batteries for Electric Vehicles” tests — covering both battery cells and battery packs. This makes CATL the first company in China to fully comply with the “No Fire, No Explosion” national battery safety standard.

🔋 Why Sodium-Ion?

Sodium is cheaper, more abundant, and eco-friendlier than lithium, cobalt, and nickel. CATL’s Naxtra battery is not only a step forward in cost and energy density, but also a breakthrough in green technology and safety. As Gao Huan, CATL’s Chief Technology Officer for EV Business, puts it:

“Sodium-ion battery technology is no longer a research achievement in laboratories... We have found a new key to environmental protection.”

Art & Technology ••• CATL

As the world's top battery maker, CATL alone accounts for around 37% of the world's electric vehicle battery market. But now, the company is not satisfied with just offering the lithium packs anymore. In December, CATL launched a skateboard chassis. The battery cells are directly integrated within the chassis. "This is going to be a next step of the whole automotive industry, but also going to change the way of the design philosophy and manufacturing concept." said Hu Guoliang, Executive President of CATL Intelligent Tech (Shanghai).

Chinese EV maker AVATR is one of the first to have ordered the skateboard chassis. "The application of the Bedrock chassis technology enables us to rethink again about the form of future car products. For example, by using the chassis, we can make the design and manufacturing more flexible and launch new products such as shared cars, high-end cars and even unmanned retail cars in small volume to meet rapidly changing and diverse market demands." said Chen Zhuo, President of AVATR Technology.

The new technology development was planned in CATL's battery roadmap in as early as 2018. And a year later, the company formed a team to work on it. Half of the R&D work was done in Shanghai.

A TRULY Marvellous and Diverse Country!!! Y-Ea-Da-Cun, China.

On my way to Eya Village I am stopping in a small town called Muli City. The city is particularly characterized by its huge variety of different ethnicities. The next day I eventually went to Eya Village which is one of the most remote and primitive places I have ever been to in China. I met incredibly hospitable people who showed me a glimpse of their lives in far remote China. Join me on my trip to the most isolated village in China 🎬

BTW…

On September 20, the 48th International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) World Finals came to an end.

With nine problems solved in less time, the team consisting of Wang Weicheng, Wang Xiangwen and Xu Anyi from Peking University won the championship.

Congrats!🎉 pic.twitter.com/9cYN6ZknH4

China's battery giant Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited (CATL) just unveiled the Tianxing-B - a battery designed to last a staggering 15 years and cover up to 1.5 million kilometres (that’s about 930,000 miles for those counting).😱👍 pic.twitter.com/8743i3vFns
