Copper and lithium big metals winners in EVs boom: Alexa Capital
Lithium is a long-term winner because it isvery light and lithium-ionwill be the dominant technology for EVs'' batteriesfor at least the next 10years, Reid said at the Mining Journal
The two companies aim to build “no fewer” than 500 battery swap stations in 2025 alone, with a long-term goal of building out 10,000 stations to create a seamless “swap-as-fast-as-refuelling” experience for electric vehicle (EV) owners across China.
Two of China's largest energy companies have announced plans to build a nationwide battery swap network, with 500 stations to be built this year, on the way to building a total of 10,000.
Sinopec and CATL Join Forces to Build 10,000 Battery Swap Stations, Pioneering A New Era of Green Mobility. Under the agreement, the two industry giants will leverage their respective strengths to accelerate the development of battery swap ecosystems and standardize operations.
Dr. Robin Zeng, Chairman and CEO of CATL, highlighted the transformative potential of the initiative: "A robust energy replenishment network is critical to the widespread adoption of EVs. Through this partnership, we will elevate the battery swap model to new heights, injecting fresh momentum into sustainable development."
This year, the collaboration targets the construction of no fewer than 500 battery swap stations, with a long-term goal of 10,000 stations, creating a seamless "swap-as-fast-as-refueling" experience for electric vehicle (EV) owners in China.
