Kia's second-generation Ray EV may feature CATL's lithium iron phosphate batteries.
IT Home, March 10: According to a report by THEELEC, Hyundai Motor is considering adopting lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) batteries produced by CATL—China's leading battery manufacturer—in Kia's second-generation Ray EV. This will mark Hyundai's first electric vehicle equipped with CATL's LFP technology. Notably, this isn't the first collaboration between the two companies; Hyundai previously integrated ternary lithium batteries manufactured by CATL into its vehicles. However, in that earlier partnership, only the battery cells were sourced from CATL, while the module assembly and packaging processes were carried out entirely in South Korea.
Additionally, information indicates that Hyundai Motor is set to adopt CATL’s “Cell To Pack” (CTP) technology in an effort to address the challenge of low energy density. This innovative approach simplifies the module structure, boosting the battery pack’s volume utilization by 20% to 30%, reducing the number of components by 40%, and increasing production efficiency by 50%. According to IT Home, Hyundai Motor’s official announcement reveals that, in addition to lithium-iron phosphate batteries manufactured by CATL, the company is also exploring collaboration opportunities with LG Energy Solution and SK On to secure additional battery supply options.
