GAC Unveils Ambitious Battery Plans, Targets 315Wh/kg Energy Density
GAC Group has revealed ambitious plans for its power battery division. The company aims to widely adopt its self-developed battery cells within three years and shift towards self-research and production in the long term. This move is part of GAC's 'Neutron Star' strategy, targeting a 'new low-carbon power assembly' era.
GAC's latest innovation, the Aion Lour X, will enter mass production this year. This model features cells with sponge silicon cathode technology, a significant step towards improving battery performance. Currently, the industry considers the upper limit of lithium battery energy density to be 350Wh/kg. GAC targets an energy density of over 315Wh/kg for future batteries, a significant leap forward.
GAC Group has already unveiled a new battery technology with an energy density of more than 280Wh/kg, offering a range of over 1,000 kilometers. This technology, the Silicon-Sponge-Negative-Electrode battery, has already entered production. At low temperatures, batteries equipped with this technology maintain a range of 650 kilometers. Moreover, this technology reduces a single cell's volume by 20% and weight by 14%, while keeping the same power. Future upgrades could further reduce battery weight and volume by more than 50%.
GAC Group's advancements in battery technology promise to revolutionize electric vehicle range and efficiency. With the Aion Lour X set to hit the market and ambitious energy density targets, GAC is poised to lead the industry into a 'new era of low-carbon power'.
