It will be used in the upcoming Great Wall's ORA Cherry Cat.
SVOLT Energy Technology unveiled at the 2021 Chengdu Motor Show its first production cobalt-free NMx battery pack, which will be used in the upcoming Great Wall's ORA Cherry Cat, also displayed at the show.
Let's recall that NMx is a new lithium-ion battery chemistry, with SVOLT's in-house developed NMx cathode material (75% nickel and 25% manganese). Through the cobalt elimination and reduction of the nickel content, it's expected to be 5% less expensive than comparable NCM chemistry.
SVOLT currently offers two prismatic NMx cell types: 115 Ah in a format compatible with Volkswagen's Modular Electric Drive Toolkit (MEB) platform and a long 226 Ah format.
The Great Wall's ORA Cherry Cat consists of the 115 Ah version. The pack is 82.5 kWh and has an energy density of 170 Wh/kg (compared to 245 wh/kg on the cell level), which is expected to translate into a range of more than 600 km (373 miles) "under normal temperature condition."
The battery delivers also enough power to support 0-100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration in under 5 seconds.
The company notes that the NMx battery cells and pack exceeds all requirements:
"SVOLT cobalt-free Pack assembled in vehicles uses standard platform MEB modules, aerospace-grade thermal insulation materials, and has a lightweight design. The Pack has passed comprehensive performance tests and safety tests, and test data such as thermal runaway far exceeds national standard...
