SHANGHAI (Reuters) – China’s CATL, the world’s largest battery maker, on Tuesday launched a new electric vehicle platform that it says can withstand 120km/h frontal impact without catching fire or exploding, as it touts safety as a key selling point.
The company aims to sell the new EV platform – called “panshi” in Chinese, which translates to “bedrock” – to premium car makers, seeking to accelerate development, and lower costs.
