Chinese battery maker CATL has unveiled a new electric vehicle battery that can recharge in about six minutes and deliver a range of roughly 1,000 kilometres on a single charge. The debut highlights CATL's push to lead the global EV battery market by easing drivers' concerns over charging times and long-distance travel.
- 2Geely to Buy 30% Stake in Nio's Battery-Swapping Unit●Geely To Buy 30% Stake in Rival Nio’s Battery-Swapping Unit
Geely has agreed to acquire a 30% stake in the battery-swapping business of rival Chinese electric vehicle maker Nio. The move would link two competing automakers in the infrastructure segment that Nio has built out as a differentiator for its cars, allowing drivers to exchange depleted batteries for charged ones in minutes. The reported deal highlights growing consolidation and cooperation in China's crowded electric vehicle market.
- 3High-mileage electric cars beat petrol rivals on reliability, study finds▼"High-mileage electric cars are more reliable than petrol ones, study finds" # Cars # Vehicles # EV # ElectricVehicles h
A new study reported by The Guardian finds that used electric cars with high mileage are more reliable than comparable petrol vehicles, challenging a common assumption that EV batteries and motors wear out faster. The findings are being widely shared among drivers and environmental commentators, with many saying they strengthen the case for buying second-hand electric cars over combustion-engine models.
- 4BYD says its solid-state EV battery is nearly road-ready▼BYD Says Its New Solid-State EV Battery Tech Is Nearly Ready For The Open Road
Chinese EV maker BYD says its new solid-state battery technology is nearly ready for real-world use, a step that could mean longer driving ranges, faster charging and improved safety over today's lithium-ion packs. Automakers worldwide are racing to commercialize solid-state cells, and BYD's claim puts it among the frontrunners.
- 5NIO Signs Battery Swapping Deal with Geely●NIO Announces Definitive Agreements for Strategic Transaction with Geely Holding Group in Battery Swapping and Charging Businesses
Chinese electric vehicle maker NIO has signed definitive agreements for a strategic transaction with Geely Holding Group covering battery swapping and charging businesses. The move deepens cooperation between the two automakers in power-swap infrastructure, a technology NIO has invested heavily in and has been seeking to open to other manufacturers. The deal is drawing attention from investors tracking NIO's cost pressures and the broader shift toward shared EV charging networks in China.
- 6High-mileage electric cars beat petrol cars on reliability, study finds●High-mileage electric cars are more reliable than petrol ones, study finds
A new study reports that used electric cars with high mileage are more reliable than comparable petrol vehicles, challenging a common assumption that EVs wear out faster. The findings are being shared widely on discussion forums, with readers debating battery longevity, repair costs and what the results mean for the second-hand car market.
- 7Chinese automakers unveil 5-minute ultrafast EV charging▼Chinese auto companies race ahead on EV technology, achieving 5-minute ultrafast charging
Chinese auto companies are racing ahead in electric vehicle technology with ultrafast charging systems that can replenish a battery in about five minutes, comparable to a petrol stop. The development, reported widely in US regional press, highlights how far Chinese manufacturers have pulled ahead in charging speed, intensifying concerns about competition with Western and Japanese automakers in the global EV market.
- 8Used EVs prove more reliable than gas cars at high mileage●As the miles add up, used EVs outperform their gas-powered counterparts. https:// cleantechnica.com/2026/09/27/u sed-evs
A new study using UK data indicates that used electric vehicles hold up better than petrol and diesel cars as mileage climbs, challenging persistent doubts about long-term battery durability. The findings are being shared among electric vehicle advocates and clean-energy commentators, who say they strengthen the case for buying second-hand EVs over comparable gas-powered cars.
- 9Humanoid robots, not EVs, become proving ground for solid-state batteries▼Solid-State Batteries' First Test Bed Is Humanoid Robots, Not EVs
Industry analysis argues that humanoid robots, rather than electric vehicles, will be the first real-world testing ground for solid-state batteries. Robots' smaller energy needs and higher tolerance for premium pricing let early solid-state cells enter use sooner, while carmakers' stricter cost, volume and safety requirements keep them waiting for the technology to mature.
- 10New battery breakthrough promises EVs with over 1,000-mile range▼This new battery breakthrough could get your next EV over the 1,000 mile mark
A reported battery breakthrough could allow future electric vehicles to travel more than 1,000 miles on a single charge, far beyond the range of most EVs sold today. If it moves from the lab to mass production, the technology would address one of the biggest remaining objections to electric cars: range anxiety and the need for frequent charging on long trips.
- 11Geely Unveils EV Battery That Charges in 4.5 Minutes▼Geely Charges EVs in 4.5 Minutes and Extends Battery Life
Geely says it has developed an electric vehicle battery capable of charging in about 4.5 minutes while also offering extended battery life. The claim, if verified in real-world conditions, would put the Chinese automaker ahead of most rivals on charging speed, intensifying competition in the global EV market and fueling debate over fast-charging technology and battery durability.
