Contemporary Amperex Technology → CATL – Per WP:COMMONNAME, by far most news articles refer to the company by its abbreviation, which is also their logo PhotographyEdits (talk) 12:47, 8 March 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. 🐶 EpicPupper ^{(he/him | talk)} 17:38, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

This is a contested technical request (permalink). GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 00:03, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

• Due to the WP:COMMONNAME claim, this is not a technical move. Needs discussion to be on the safe side in case there is a disagreement with this claim. Steel1943 (talk) 01:10, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

  @Steel1943 On basis of what policy is a WP:COMMONNAME claim something that makes it a contested move? I've created probably tens of move requests based on such claims, which were honored without a discussion. PhotographyEdits (talk) 10:39, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

  That claim is a matter of opinion, and to me, the WP:COMMONNAME claim wasn't inherently clear from what I saw. But, I'm not opposing or supporting the move: Best case scenario, no one else participates in this discussion, and the page gets moved since it was unopposed, which acts as a "de facto" consensus that moving a page as a "technical move" doesn't provide.

Advertisement

This article reads like an advertisement and exhibits a triumphal tone. 216.165.250.230 (talk) 05:34, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Omission of Essential information.

This page is missing details about CATL's technology and offerings. It appears that some editors are opposed to including this information, labeling it as "advertisement." I believe this concern is unfounded and politically biased, especially since many removed edits were verifiable information supported by reputable sources. As a result, the page lacks significant and essential information. DemisJohnson (talk) 19:06, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Disclosure before editing

I am about to make a couple of small edits to this page, which I believe are more updated, balanced, and fall unde rthe category of non-controversial edits. For example, the number of CATL's employees, announcement of CATL's factories ouside China, and CATL's responce to the section of "security concerns". The reason I mention this is because I have a potential conflict of interest , as I am an employee from CATL. Don't hesitate to reach me at my discussion page if you have any questions. Many thanks.

Following on my note on July 13, I have made several edits citing reputable sources. I updated the number of CATL's employees from 2020 to 2023, citing its 2023 annual report. The year of CATL's establishment was changed from 2012 to 2011 in the section of History. Regarding the part of Growth and Technology, cooperation with BMW since 2012 was added, which is CATL's first customer from the EV sector. The announcements of CATL's Hungarian plant and cooperation with Stellantis were also added, which are important for CATL's glaobal expansion. To make the part of Security Concerns more neutral, CATL's reponse were added as well, by citing news outlet such as Reuters, PV Magazines etc.

I hope to have some specific recommendations in the near future, but for now I wanted to flag this for readers and editors. Thanks. FayWu9805 (talk) 00:48, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Sodium Ion Battery Technology,

There is no mention of CATL's work in developing Sodium-Ion batteries. CATL announced a few days ago that they might be the world leader in terms of energy density, with 210 Wh/kg, which is better than some competing Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) cells which are being used in some Battery Electric Vehicles.

I gather that those cells are not laboratory prototypes or engineering samples; they are initial saleable items. CATL also claim, and can verify, that their Sodium cells will outlast Lithium cells by a significant margin.

That company supplies battery cells for over 20 million vehicles worldwide; about 37% of the BEV market. They also have a history of developing cells and batteries quickly. So their claims about Na-Ion cells need to be taken notice of.

I don't have the knowhow to add sources to any edits, or to add new categories to Wikipedia pages correctly, and nor do I have reliable sources, apart from CATl's own claims. But there must be someone out there reading this, and who has more verifiable in-depth information than me about these latest developments.

So the topic is available for anyone with good qualifications who wishes to start and to document it correctly.

Thank-you. ~2025-32936-79 (talk) 06:05, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
