This new technology promises faster charging and reliable performance, shaping how vehicles function
The automotive industry is adapting to the fast changing technological landscape. The mode of transportation has transformed over the decades, be it in terms of design, features or technology. Now, a Chinese company named CATL has come up with a battery that could change the way people use electric cars. This new battery can charge much faster than the ones most electric cars use today. The idea is to make charging almost as quick as filling petrol in a regular car.
With this new battery, they are trying to make electric cars more practical for everyday use. It gives around 323 miles (520 kms) of driving range after just five minutes of charging. That means less waiting at charging stations and more time driving. It also works well in cold conditions, still charging fast even when temperatures are very low.
CATL shared this new battery just before a big motor show in Shanghai. The company is known for supplying batteries to big car brands like Tesla, Ford and General Motors. Even in freezing weather, the battery can go from five percent to eighty percent in just fifteen minutes. This is helpful for people who live in cold places where batteries usually charge slowly.
Along with this battery, CATL also revealed two more ideas. One is a battery system that combines two different types of cells to offer a very long range of up to 932 miles (1500 kms). The second is a sodium-ion battery. This one is better for the environment and keeps most of its power even when temperatures fall very low.
These new battery upgrades can make life easier for people who drive every day. Faster charging means electric cars are more convenient and practical, encouraging more people to choose them instead of petrol vehicles. These batteries also offer strong performance in all seasons, even during very cold weather.
For people who drive every day, these upgrades could mean shorter charging times and more reliable performance all year round. Charging quickly makes it easier to own an electric vehicle and gives people one more reason to switch from fuel-powered cars.

Skyrocketing Chinese demand for Pakistani donkeys in ejiao industry puts the poor in jeopardy
Abdul Rasheed is in a fix these days. Tiger, his donkey and the only source of income, died in an accident last week. Staring at the prospect of dire poverty, Rasheed is undecided about buying a new one as donkey prices have soared in Karachi and other parts of Pakistan. 'A donkey now costs as high as ₹2,00,000 in the market, way too high than the ₹30,000 I paid to buy Tiger eight years ago,' Rasheed, a donkey cart owner said. Rasheed and hundreds of other poor wage earners like him, who are dependent on donkeys as their only source of livelihood, now face a tough competition from high-value buyers from China. The reason for this sudden surge in donkey prices has been a growing demand from China to source these animals from Pakistan. Reason: China's multi-billion-dollar ejiao industry. Ejiao is a gelatin used in traditional Chinese medicine, made by stewing and concentrating donkey skin. It is widely used in clinics for its biological advantages of being anti-fatigue, immunity-improving properties, for tumour suppression, and for its anti-anaemia effect. For animal rights advocates, China's interest in sourcing donkeys, particularly for their hide, is not new. 'Donkey hides have become a global trade now because in China their demand is higher than the supply. And it will grow to satiate a growing demand for ejiao,' said Dr Prof Guo Jing Feng, who runs the Pu-Sheng Medical Center in Karachi providing alternative and holistic health services. Rasheed said despite having good contacts in Karachi's Lyari, the largest donkey market in the country, the cheapest healthy donkey available is for ₹1,55,000. 'Where can I get that sort of money? And even if I manage something, I am not sure whether the animal will not die out on me before I have recovered the money,' Rasheed, whose annual income is less than ₹400,000, said. Donkeys are an integral part of many industries; chief among them being brick kilns, transport, agriculture, waste collection, recycling and even laundry. Poor wage workers use their donkeys or donkey carts daily to load structural iron and other heavy stuff and transport them across several miles every day in all kinds of terrain. A journey of an hour or more earns Samad, another wage worker, a daily income between ₹1,500 and ₹2,000, almost half of which is spent on the donkey's upkeep. It is the bare minimum, but it is also what keeps the household going for this resident of Karachi. Pakistan is only behind Ethiopia and Sudan in being home to the largest number of donkeys. The population of working donkeys in Pakistan is estimated to be 5.9 million. According to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, the number of donkeys in the country has increased by 1,09,000 over the past year. Not only in Pakistan but globally, reports show that around 500 million poor and marginalised people are dependent on working equids (horses, donkeys and mules) globally. In April 2025, Federal Minister for National Food Security and Research Rana Tanveer Hussain held meetings with a Chinese delegation who expressed interest in establishing donkey farms in Pakistan. China's demand for donkey hides is attributed to ejiao as one of the top three tonics used in traditional Chinese medicine. According to a newspaper report, in the last five years, the production of ejiao products has shown a 160 per cent growth, which effectively means millions of donkey skins are required to keep up with the demand. A spokesperson for the Ministry for National Food Security and Research said that the decision to establish donkey farms in Pakistan will be beneficial to the country's economy as it will rely on local labour at every stage, including feeding, caretaking, and the management systems in place. Dr Asal Khan, Director General at the Livestock and Dairy Development Department in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province said some private Chinese companies have expressed interest in animal trading with the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government. 'These proposals were from private companies and did not mature. Their main purpose is to buy donkeys from here and transport them to China for their hides and we are not allowing that to happen,' he said. The hide of a donkey is not influenced by the overall condition of the animal and, according to Zohaib Shah, who sells donkeys in the Lyari market, some Chinese parties are willing to buy even weak, unhealthy donkeys at low costs. 'In one instance, a Chinese group brought 14 donkeys who were small and not healthy at ₹40,000 per animal,' he recalled. For some, the question of sending Pakistani donkeys' hides to China also poses ethical problems. Saleem Reza, who is a senior official of the Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry, pointed out the biggest one. 'The government has to ensure even if donkeys are in demand by China, they must be sent there without being slaughtered in Pakistan,' he said. 'Donkey meat is haram for us and there has to be a process to ensure it is not used commercially, unethically and illegally. There is a need to establish designated factories for the slaughtering and processing of hides and meat to ensure it does not circulate in Pakistani markets,' Reza added.

Tesla shares gain after $152 billion selloff, but Trump-Musk truce uncertain
Tesla shares recouped some losses that had been triggered by a spat between CEO Elon Musk and U.S. President Donald Trump, even though a truce appeared uncertain on Friday as a White House official said the president was not keen on talking to his former ally. The stock rose nearly 4% after a steep fall in the previous session, that wiped out $152 billion in market value, when the world's most powerful man and its richest publicly entered a war of words over the tax and spending bill. Earlier, a Politico report had said Trump and Musk were likely to talk later in the day. Musk had signalled on X he was open to easing tensions with the president, agreeing with calls for a detente from users on the social media platform. But Trump told CNN on Friday, 'I'm not even thinking about Elon,' adding the billionaire has 'got a problem'. Tensions escalated on Thursday after Musk stepped up his criticism of Trump's sweeping tax bill, which proposed largely ending the popular $7,500 EV tax incentive by the end of 2025. In response, Trump suggested cuts to the government's contracts with Musk's companies, including rocket maker SpaceX. 'It might be a bit too hopeful to think their relationship will ever go back to what it once was, but if cooler heads prevail and the tension eases, that would definitely be a big improvement for Tesla,' said Tesla shareholder Matthew Britzman, who is an analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown. An open clash with Trump could pose multiple hurdles for Tesla and the rest of Musk's sprawling business empire. The U.S. Transportation Department regulates vehicle design standards and would have a big say in whether Tesla can mass-produce robotaxis without pedals and steering wheels. Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Tesla stock is down 26.9% this year following a 14% drop on Thursday. Still, the shares trade at 120 times expected earnings, a lofty multiple compared to other automakers and even tech giants such as Nvidia. The shares have been on a turbulent ride since last July when Musk backed Trump's White House bid. They surged initially as investors bet on less regulatory pressure for robotaxis, but tumbled due to soft sales and brand fallout from Musk's political stance. Stronger sales from potential Republican customers were expected to offset a liberal boycott, but analysts warned that Musk's recent actions may erode that buffer too. 'With Musk alienating Republicans, there is no one left to prop up consumer sentiment towards Tesla, which could lead towards a full-scale collapse in brand perception,' said political strategist Evan Roth Smith, co-founder of Slingshot Strategies.
