620 Miles on a Single Charge
CATL Qilin Battery
![]()
Electric vehicle (EV) enthusiasts may find it apt that CATL’s new Qilin battery is named after a mythical Chinese creature with a solitary horn sprouting from its forehead. The battery, which CATL says will start shipping to automakers next year, can go a unicorn-like 621 miles (1,000 kilometers) on a single charge. The power comes from its new cell-to-pack (CTP) technology, which uses a single structure for the battery pack rather than connecting a group of individual modules together like traditional EV batteries. CATL, the world’s largest manufacturer of EV batteries (including for Tesla), says the Qilin’s design also keeps the battery cooler, resulting in faster charging rates. Which is nice, even if you won’t need to recharge it while driving from Vermont to Virginia, or Texas to Topeka.
"Well sir, we have a car for you then, Ford F150 Lightening"
Within few weeks I will be working on F150 EV and can you give you my true feedback..
Also, soon you guys will see the following around your areas.... and the car behind this one will be coming in EV too but gotta wait 2 years....
AND , an Australian state that shall not be named at this stage , will be running fully EV freight trains in 2 years time......

Thought I'd take the opportunity to be the first post for 2023. PE/ML within two weeks is the latest feedback boys and girls from the source. As we know the source has not been very kind this year, so I provide this info with all the caveats one would expect. After so many false starts you would think Nigel is actually due to get just one timeline right !!!
Happy New Year to All !!!
Cheers The Fox
Happy new year all!My guess is ML by mid Feb and CATH 24%

Just posting my thoughts.
If cath tia was extended, they would have announced it on Friday after close.
Mr Pei didn't fly to Perth and pose for happy snaps just to cancel the deal now would he.
Might we get an announcement tomorrow that the deal has been executed and payment made?
Or perhaps they renegotiated on % and $ in Perth, and the announcement will be details of the new arrangement?
Or were they just having too many beers and forgot to submit the announcement on Friday?
We'll find out soon.
AVZ office was closed last week and won't open until Tuesday so pre market announcement of another extension is most likely. The CATL deal won't be completed until after the mining licence is registered.My pick is an extension announced on market open![]()

I would of thought CATH deal needs to be finalised first before mining licence......AVZ office was closed last week and won't open until Tuesday so pre market announcement of another extension is most likely. The CATL deal won't be completed until after the mining licence is registered.
Nigel has said a few times in interviews that the transfer of Dathcom shares happens after the licence is received. Not sure if that is in the mining code or management playing it safe. I doubt CATL would want to risk handing over the money yet anyway.I would of thought CATH deal needs to be finalised first before mining licence......
Main operator being AVZ requires 51% to be awarded the ML is that correct ?

There is some conjecture about whether it is 51% of the tenement (Dathcom needing it) or 51% of the joint venture (AVZ needing it). I'm pretty sure someone answered it here a few months ago but I can't remember which it was.
Does anyone know for sure if it is Dathcom that requires 51% of PE13359 or if it is AVZ that requires 51% of Dathcom?
We can’t lose control because the mining code says we can’t. If and when we get the ML we will have at least that 51% in our pocket.But loosing the main control in a joint venture is surely not the best idea when it comes to important votings. At least if it is currently uncertain who else could be involved.
Happy new year everyone from Germany I hope you all had some fun!
@The Fox I wish it would happen in the near term that this shit nightmare comes to an end. When your source is right this time I would donate him/her a new electric vehicle, and you can have one as well! Unfortunately, I have a feeling it will take quite a while :/

Happy new year to you Fox.
I think blaming Nigel for false starts is firing the arrow in the wrong direction........i believe the corrupt Zijin / Dathomir / Cominiere have been the spanner in the works in that regard, altho i do admit, Nigel doesnt help his cause when he makes stupid statements to the sophs on RS that ML coming Nov / Dec.....
As far as your bold prediction about ML / PE coming in the next 2 weeks.........well, I will believe it when i see it.
Clearly , if AVZ do get awarded the ML " imminently " haha.......then a agreement with CATH must of been done regards to their 24% .
Nigel doesn't help his case with stupid comments. Well fuck me that's the under statement of the year. Admittedly we're only one day in. Where's the 20 years of experience in the drc come from. Or was that just more bs. Jesus realy.Happy new year to you Fox.

You’ll recall also that CATL waived the ML as the precondition for the sale of 24%, so why has that sale not concluded (he asked rhetorically)? It’s because the rest of the shitfuckery threatened our percentage, and to cede 24% to CATL could have taken us below 51% (if other matters went against us).
Others here have suggested a smaller percentage to CATL initially, and until such time as other matters (cough, Zinjin) are resolved. That suggestion makes sense to me as a means of managing the ownership risk.
