Chinese battery maker EVE Energy took center stage at the 18th China International Battery Fair (CIBF 2026), which kicked off on May 13 at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center. The event attracted close to 3,200 leading companies and over 300,000 professional visitors, reinforcing its position as one of the world’s premier hubs for battery technology exchange and business cooperation.

EVE Energy used the platform to unveil its complete lithium battery product matrix together with a range of next-generation technologies, offering a thorough view of the company’s industrialization progress and its integrated capabilities spanning the battery supply chain. Company representatives framed the display as an open invitation for global partners to explore opportunities emerging from the worldwide energy transition.

Three Core Product Lines Highlighted

In step with China’s dual-carbon goals and the rapid expansion of the new energy sector, EVE Energy organized its exhibition around three mature product systems — energy storage batteries, EV power batteries, and cylindrical batteries — while also shining a spotlight on several forward-looking technology initiatives.

Energy Storage: Setting Safety and Efficiency Benchmarks

The centerpiece of the energy storage presentation was the LF628K large-format energy storage cell, which EVE has positioned as a string of industry milestones: first to be announced, first to enter mass production, and first to achieve commercial deployment. The cell’s strength lies in its combination of high safety, superior efficiency, and exceptionally long cycle life.

LF628K & Mr. Giant 1.0 — Key Metrics

Cumulative cell output has exceeded 1 million units

Order backlog totals 25 GWh

Mr. Giant 1.0 5 MWh system: over 600 days of stable operation

System energy efficiency above 95.5%

System temperature variation kept within ≤4°C

Also featured was the Mr. Giant 1.0 5 MWh energy storage system, which has demonstrated reliable performance in large-scale projects, establishing itself as a dependable solution for utility-level storage infrastructure.

EV Power Batteries: Addressing Commercial and Passenger Markets

In the commercial vehicle segment, EVE Energy noted that its medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicle power batteries rank second globally by installed capacity. The company’s Open Source Battery 4.0 AI Battery is engineered to push past traditional economic limits for commercial vehicles, supporting the logistics industry’s shift toward greener and more cost-effective operations.

For the passenger electric vehicle market, EVE introduced a prismatic stacked-cell battery designed for ultra-fast charging and broad platform compatibility — traits the company says align well with the current wave of vehicle platform upgrades. Meanwhile, its large-format cylindrical battery for premium vehicles has reached a significant landmark: global launch fitment in BMW’s Neue Klasse models, the automaker’s next-generation electric vehicle architecture.

The company added that its domestic EV battery installed capacity ranked fifth in China in 2025, reflecting steady gains in market share and growing manufacturer confidence.

Cylindrical Batteries: Extensive Application Coverage

EVE Energy’s cylindrical battery division reported that its lithium primary battery sales and exports have held the top spot in China for ten consecutive years, while its cylindrical battery shipments lead the domestic market and rank among the top four globally.

The company has built what it calls the world’s first cylindrical battery lighthouse factory, a digitally advanced manufacturing site recognized for operational excellence. Its complete range of large-format cylindrical cells serves diverse end markets, including new energy vehicles, low-altitude aviation, intelligent equipment, IoT devices, and outdoor power tools. The company’s lightweight power solutions were also among the first to secure certification under China’s latest mandatory safety standards for the category.

Next-Generation Technology in the Spotlight

Beyond its commercial product lines, EVE Energy devoted part of its exhibition space to emerging technology platforms. The company showcased R&D progress on sodium-ion batteries, lithium-metal secondary batteries, all-solid-state batteries, and hydrogen energy applications — each representing a distinct avenue for post-lithium-ion energy storage.

These exhibits were presented as proof of the company’s commitment to accelerating the journey of frontier technologies from the laboratory toward industrial-scale production, with the aim of building long-term competitive reserves for the broader industry.

Outlook: Global Expansion and Green Innovation

In statements accompanying the exhibition, EVE Energy reiterated that technology innovation remains the central driver of its long-term strategy. The company signaled plans to deepen R&D investment, refine high-quality product offerings, and continue broadening its full-scenario lithium battery solutions portfolio. Alongside these product-centric commitments, EVE pointed to an expanding global presence as a priority, emphasizing international partnerships as vital to enabling the energy transition across multiple industries worldwide.

With CIBF 2026 bringing together players from across the global battery value chain, EVE Energy’s multi-domain display underscored both the scale of its current industrial output and the ambition of its research roadmap — a combination that industry observers are likely to monitor closely as competition in the global battery market continues to heat up.
