SVOLT is a Chinese company, which has recently announced two cobalt-free batteries for electric vehicles. According to Yang Hongxin, President of SVOLT, the newly launched cobalt-free batteries have several core advantages including longer cycle life, better safety and higher energy density. As he said, SVOLT's L6 cobalt-free long cell is being adapted to a high-end model of Great Wall Motors. With its matrix PACK design, this vehicle could reach a driving range of 880 km. This is comparable with that of ICE vehicles. If this driving range can truly be realized, SVOLT's cobalt-free batteries would undoubtedly have created a new product category for automotive batteries.
