Innovative Technology: Lithium Batteries Make Life Better

At this conference, EVE's R&D team shared their latest technological innovations, demonstrating the company's all-scenario, full-system R&D capabilities.

LMX Technology Accelerates the New Energy Revolution for Heavy-Duty Trucks

Addressing the two core pain points of electric heavy-duty trucks—insufficient range and poor low-temperature performance—EVE's LMX technology ushers in a new era of long-range, all-weather, and long-life solutions.

• LMX products achieve an energy density of 205Wh/kg, significantly surpassing the current mainstream LFP systems, enabling electric heavy-duty trucks to achieve a range of over 500 kilometers, completely breaking the application barriers in medium- and long-haul logistics.
• For cold-region applications, LMX technology successfully extends the battery's low-temperature operating window to -20°C. Through innovative materials and system design, performance degradation in harsh low-temperature environments is greatly reduced, with low-temperature performance improving by 30% compared to current LFP systems.
• LMX technology addresses the degradation mechanism at the material level. By optimizing key materials and enhancing interface stability, it effectively suppresses performance degradation during long-term use, extending the product's cycle life to over 5,000 cycles.

Large-Cylinder Innovation Leads a New Era for All-Scenario Lithium Batteries

Building on over 20 years of cylindrical battery R&D experience, along with continuous innovation and engineering capabilities, EVE has successfully overcome the mass-production challenges of 46-series large-cylinder batteries, becoming the first domestic company to achieve mass production. To date, EVE holds over 2,700 cylindrical battery technology patents and has obtained 79 international certifications.

Large-cylinder batteries feature standardization, zero expansion, and high strength, enabling efficient production while flexibly adapting to diverse scenarios. They are resistant to high temperatures and pressures, offering exceptional safety performance.

Additionally, large-cylinder batteries incorporate three core technologies:

• All-pole ear technology reduces impedance by 60% and increases power by 100%.
• Directional pressure-release and explosion-proof design activates within 4 milliseconds under extreme conditions, releasing 50% of heat within 5 seconds.
• Next-generation silicon-based anode technology increases energy density by over 15%.

As of May 2025, EVE's large-cylinder batteries have been installed in over 60,000 vehicles, with the longest single-vehicle mileage reaching 230,000 kilometers. Among them, the 4695-series large-cylinder battery will be equipped in BMW's new-generation iX3 model launching at the end of the year, delivering an enhanced driving experience.

From "Life Energy" to "Heart of Life"

With four decades of expertise in power solutions, EVE has developed parallel technology pathways including lithium, sodium, hydrogen, and solid-state batteries, building a versatile and adaptable all-scenario, multi-dimensional technology platform. From daily life to industrial transportation and life-saving applications, EVE transforms power sources into the "heart" of medical devices, offering seamless protection for every moment of peace of mind.

• As a lifeline for neural regulation, brain pacemakers have evolved from disposable high-energy lithium batteries to long-life implantable lithium-ion batteries, extending service life from 5 to 20 years and greatly reducing the need for replacement surgeries.
• AED defibrillators prioritize "instant response" as a life-saving baseline. Lithium-manganese dioxide cylindrical batteries offer extreme reliability, meeting years of standby time while ensuring full-energy shocks even at end-of-life.
• CGM continuous glucose monitors focus on unobtrusive health management. In a lithium battery the size of a fingernail, they achieve a volumetric energy density of 390Wh/L and a volumetric power density of 560W/L, with millisecond response times, ensuring precise and reliable glucose measurements.

The three critical requirements—"compact," "consistent," and "safe"—drive medical devices from "treatment intervention" to "preventive, unobtrusive monitoring."

Dense Energy for a Better Future

The AI era demands dense energy, making gravimetric and volumetric energy density key industry metrics.

For gravimetric energy density:

• Lithium-metal battery systems achieve 352Wh/kg at 0.2C discharge, supporting 4C continuous and 7C pulse discharge with power density exceeding 1000W/kg—a 40% improvement over traditional 250Wh/kg systems, perfectly meeting the extreme needs of low-altitude UAVs.
• Cylindrical batteries developed with nano silicon-based materials achieve 320Wh/kg. Combined with intrinsic safety design, redundant systems, and emergency escape mechanisms, they ensure user safety. Innovative smart immersion cooling technology further enhances pack efficiency to 78%, reducing weight by 20% and increasing range by 30%.

For volumetric energy density, EVE's topological energy aggregation technology breaks spatial limits, maximizing space utilization in irregularly shaped medical implants (e.g., cochlear devices).

As a flagship of high-volumetric-density energy, EVE's all-solid-state pouch cells operate from -20°C to 60°C and withstand 20MPa pressure. They deliver 2,000+ cycles at 45°C@1C, >93% capacity recovery after 28 days at 60°C (matching liquid electrolytes), 8C discharge, and pass crush and 200°C thermal tests.

EVE plans to achieve production breakthroughs by 2026, launching all-solid-state battery 1.0 with 350Wh/kg and 800Wh/L, followed by 1000Wh/L+ all-solid-state battery 2.0 in 2028.

Lithium Battery Recycling Network: A Good Home for Every Battery

To address structural challenges, lagging recycling systems, and price inversions in lithium battery recycling, EVE launched a global recycling platform. Through global presence, digital traceability, and open collaboration, the platform spans 30+ countries across Europe, North America, Asia, and Oceania, establishing a full-value chain from "battery recycling" to "material regeneration"—ensuring materials flow "from batteries back to batteries" in a cradle-to-cradle loop.

At the conference, EVE partnered with Huayou Cobalt, GEM, Conch Venture-Conch Recycling, BASF, SF Holdings-Kerry Logistics, Jingjing New Energy, Camel Group, and Shenzhen Jecen to launch the Global Lithium Battery Recycling Network, contributing to green development in new energy and a cleaner world.
