During its technology showcase in Beijing on April 16, Sunwoda Power presented an extensive battery product portfolio covering passenger vehicles, commercial fleets, and stationary storage applications. The centerpiece of the event was the “Xingchi Supercharge Battery 2.0,” a lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) pack designed to withstand 15C peak charging rates. This capability allows the battery to climb from a 5% to a 95% state-of-charge within nine minutes, or from 5% to 75% in just 5.5 minutes. The prototype unit houses 264 prismatic cells, providing more than 98.8 kWh of energy at an operating voltage of 844.8 V, supporting a maximum current of 1,800 A. The system is rated for over 1,500 cycles, and Sunwoda emphasized that ultra-fast charging performance is included within the scope of the product warranty.
The company also detailed two additional battery variants for passenger electric vehicles. One is a long-life LFP cell engineered to exhibit zero capacity degradation within the first year and no greater than 10% loss over a full decade of use. A second, range-optimized pack tailored for hybrid applications utilizes large cylindrical cells and can replenish from 10% to 80% charge in ten minutes.
Building upon its rapid-charging evolution—which progressed from 4C-capable packs in 2022 to 6C variants in 2024—Sunwoda has now achieved 15C performance in LFP chemistry and 8C for its ternary lithium offerings. For the commercial vehicle sector, the company demonstrated a dual-gun charging configuration capable of delivering up to 1.44 MW of peak power.
Within the hybrid vehicle segment, newly developed battery modules ranging from 3 kWh to 7 kWh leverage 46 mm cylindrical cells. A representative 5 kWh unit delivers a power output of 150 kW and enables more than 15 km of electric driving range, integrating DC-DC conversion and a 12 V subsystem within a 414 V architecture.
Sunwoda further broadened its lineup with advanced sodium-ion and LFP cells for energy storage. According to Xu Zhongling, President of the company’s Central Research Institute, sodium-ion cells achieve a cycle life exceeding 20,000 cycles at ambient temperature and surpass 10,000 cycles under high-temperature conditions. He highlighted three principal benefits—ample raw material availability, reduced total cost of ownership over the asset's life, and improved safety characteristics—while acknowledging that the lower energy density relative to lithium chemistries makes sodium-ion particularly suited for low-voltage systems and entry-level vehicle models.
The firm also outlined its “AI+ battery” strategy, describing it as a data-centric approach to research and development, manufacturing, and lifecycle oversight, with an emphasis on ecosystem integration. Parallel development continues on solid-state prototypes aimed at achieving 400 Wh/kg energy density, 1,200 cycles, and a driving range of up to 1,000 km.
Market data indicates that Sunwoda installed 1.4 GWh of electric vehicle batteries in March 2026, capturing a 2.5% market share, with LFP chemistry comprising the bulk of its product mix. These recent announcements underscore a broader industry trajectory toward ultra-rapid charging, extended durability, and application-tailored solutions across the EV and energy storage landscapes.
