CATL debuted a sodium-ion battery storage system named TENER. Domestic delivery of the system begins in September 2026, with global shipments scheduled for 2027, OilPrice.com reported. Battery storage accounted for 2 percent of CATL's sales five years prior to June 2026.
The company targets 50 percent of sales from battery storage by 2030. China added more battery storage capacity in 2025 than the United States and the European Union combined.
William Wu, director of CATL’s energy storage system technical centre, stated that the stable and sufficient supply of raw materials plays an important role in the energy storage industry. Kurt Kelty, General Motors’ vice president of batteries, propulsion, and sustainability, stated in a 2025 press release that electricity demand is climbing and the U.S. needs energy storage solutions that can be deployed quickly, economically, and made domestically.
