EXPLAINER: China's CATL first dominated world's EV battery market, and then?

- 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.

Thank you!
You know whats bad? Western propaganda always saying chinese EV's are low quality. But i bet when they could actually demo it on customer countries everybody will be impressed. We have high hopes for this chinese brand because as you know teslas are for the rich kids 😂
Tesla also using batteries from CATL .
Western governments are busy in-fighting 🤭
Car is a big ticket item and therefore most consumers will not just listen to Western Media but will look at the cars themselves before buying. So, Western media has little effect on Chinese cars and this is why Chinese cars sales had been soaring.
Next car EV, those legacy car manufacturers that can't innovate. Too bad
Only those who had played RC cars will understand how cool this is
Brilliant. Now I can build a one of a kind car on your platform home in the garage.
Amazing progress in such a short time.
Revolutionary, China business people works to bring value to consumers. US business people work to to increase costs to bring value to themselves. Don’t need to be a rocket scientist to know will win here.
Poor China brings value by building ghost towns.
Lol. Chinese copy and follow. They do not lead and innovate.
@SeamusMcFitz-jz9if Got to get to parity before moving ahead. Reinventing the wheel never helped anyone..lol
@donkeykong516 you didn't even go to university. No one cares what you think
@@donkeykong516 The difference is doing it legally or illegally.
They will ship chasis like a led tv 😂
The matchbox cars I played with 40 years ago are visionary; they foretold how cars are built in the 21st century.
Thanks for the informative video. Interesting to see how CATL is evolving. Great presentation skills aswell 👍
I am so glad to see skateboard technology go from a concept shown on GM prototypes in 2003 for the GM HyWire and Sequel concepts actually get commercialized in a meaningful way by the Chinese! Kudos... Skateboard chassis driven by wire should become the standard everywhere for all new vehicles especially with 800 or 900v architecture...
tesla US made is using NMC battery which is high performance but not as safe as LFP battery made by catl or byd.
YT algorithm will suppress a story like this 😢
They always do in every channel which is good for humanity
Because it's chinese propaganda
Now channels and media from America to Eastern countries are saying China, China, China, now even Indian British people and their channels are saying China, China, China.🧔
From India the famous one is Palki Sharma 😂
Sounds good this "Bedrock chassis" solution. Especially that on this platform you can build what you want. Whit this concept we arriving to the point where under the looks like different designed cars basically will be totally same. Only the brand name and car body shape will be different. In one side as of the users it will be sad, because all of the car performance will be same, but as of car makers will be good because they can make more profit.
What about battery replacement will replace whole chassis?
Maybe they give a warranty for this battery for 1 million km or 20 years of use, do you think that's still not enough? 😂
👏🏻👏🏻
I wish CATL start a secret task to develop a quantum battery, by harnessing the weird characteristic of quantum mechanics.
It may take one or two decades to complete the first version.
But it will change the whole world, not only EV industry.
If Catl achieved that kind of batteries then electric airplanes or air vehicles would also be a reality because the battery charge would simply never run out, that being the case and with new materials we could each have our own air vehicle (not necessarily an airplane) and cars would end because they would be obsolete since we would not need wheels , I hope what you say is achieved ;)
The most plausible is an isotope battery.
I think CATL should make it kit car friendly
they did exactly same thing as aviation industry...no neeed to bring negative cable for the electronic parts, the whole skelet of the airplane is a negative! was only question of time when someone will start doing same thing
This is interesting any link pls
They have more affordable vehicles than in the U.S.
How about battery recycling? It is more difficult when u integrate battery into chassis
Those who designed it certainly know how
Hyun'Die' exists chat
Disposable chassis/car?
Maybe..with 20 years of use according to the warranty
So CATL is building chassis now? A whole car may be in the cards.
CATL will not want to bother with the hassle of selling to cash strapped customers with fickle tastes.
Leave such headaches to the likes of Volkswagen & Toyota.
From the engineering perspective, this idea has been around for ages (pretty much common sense for any engineer around the world). Main problem is always the safety of the passengers, no matter how safe you make it. In case of failure passengers are literally sitting on a bomb, cuz other side is solid ground, the impact will be transferred upwards. In conventional arrangement, impact is upward, but the passengers are not in the way!!
In any Industry, a single very bad incident is enough to completely sink the whole Industry (Hindenburg).
An idea is just an idea that is useless if you can't make it feasible. The danger is real only if you use Li-Ion or NMC batteries. New generation LFP batteries, sodium batteries, or even solid state batteries are much safer than petrol or diesel cars.
I heard a company from 3rd-brotha's country, will replace antimony with refined cow-fertilizer for the USA MIC.
I'm glad China is taken the lead. That crash test though.😳
They focus on quality over quantity but heck they still have the quality to back it up.😂
Who needs a f.k crash test?
I would like to see more on battery testing .Impact , BMS failure to see how these batteries react to thermal run away.
👍
China is the best
🎉
brics countries n plus develop your own economy ignore usa n eu 1st make yr country development speed up stop supplying to usa n EU let them become 3rd world
looks like the game of automotive industry will be taken over by semicon tech players.
Future of cars: bottom chassis supppier + top chassis designer
Hahaha? Today an Australian channel was saying that Tesla has the highest sales in China, is this true?🧔🧿👃🏿🧿
Sky news is the most fake propaganda paid by US millionaire
China innovation is pushing the limits Tesla is so behind 🙄
😅 How about potholes?
potholes aren't a feature in China's roads like they are in USA
I have to say Chinese EV car are amazing!! That's a very comfortable driving experience.
I tried driving 600 kilometers and I think Tesla's disclosure of electric vehicle technology was a serious mistake.
I only need to spend $1 to drive more than 200 kilometers. Less than 20000 USD to get a car. Chinese electric vehicles have dominant power.
If all of these electric cars were powered by renewable energy, that would be wonderful.

Don't market to the US.
@wynn3077 @mudshitshovel290 you aren't qualified
@@wynn3077 @mudshitshovel290 don't need to. Lindians are no match
Smart.
Hahaha... Tesla exploded today, 17 people died in America, is this TRUE?🧔
Every single piece of technology that you use right now everyday was invented in America. Not china.
And that was stolen b6 the USA, spare me Tesla? Oppenheimer? You got the Big Mac ok.
You can think of China as a promoter of technology. Let more ordinary people enjoy it.
Never mind that it's useless bro, it will even embarrass yourself if you are the first to discover and develop but lose in development. It's not China that develops batteries or solar energy or wind power or nuclear or others but the most advanced globally
@agusedyanto3324 you still use the internet, laptops, cell phone and UA-cam....all American invented.
You didn't even go to university. No one cares what you think.
This is true and they also knew it has factory flaw and will never be safe... Greed is a real thing
TESLA NUMBER 1 !!!!!!!! 🇺🇸👍
Tesla is indeed good, those that are MadeinChina. They are better in quality compared to tesla uaaassss. And it is cheaper to buy Tesla in China than in uaaassss. What an irony.
@ china ev= tofu cars
You people are so lost to how far ahead China is😂😂
@ Tofu Cars!
Must be AmeriKunt 😊
So beautiful to see that everybody is copying western science, inventions, culture, habits, way of living, ...
It's actually more of an embarrassment for the West. It's more like the West is being taught how to make things properly but at an affordable price
