Contemporary Amperex Technology (SHE:300750), or CATL, is planning to develop 10 new electric vehicle models with swappable batteries, the South China Morning Post reported Wednesday.

The EV models will be jointly developed with partners such as Changan Automobile (SHE:000625) and FAW Group (SHE:000800), according to the report.

CATL is also planning to build 1,000 battery swap stations in 2025 to ease range anxiety among Chinese drivers, the SCMP wrote.

"CATL will promote the standardization of battery swaps and use two standard battery swap blocks, named No. 20 and No. 25, to provide users with personalized services of on-demand power distribution through different power levels," the EV battery producer said on Weibo.

CATL said it plans to build 30,000 battery swap stations in the future, but did not provide a specific time frame, according to SCMP.
