This is why the US government has banned Chinese EVs and batteries, because the US is losing the game, the only thing a loser can do is flip the table.

They not even sell Chinese electrical cars in USA, so why old man Biden put 100% tariff on Chinese EVs, does he have brain? All they do just busy wagging wars over the world, sanction the countries they don't like, that's all they good at, apart from that I can't think of any good things they do, mad men and mad women!

Thank you, Barrett for uploading this video. Very informative. I am surprised at how CATL was so generous to give its consent to Barrett to film the inside facility of a CATL factory. When I was an engineer, I was not allowed even to bring a camera into the factories of our suppliers or customers when I visited them (especially the Japanese).

[@tonywei423]

When you are way ahead of the others, you won't worry about that. Japanese culture is very self-close inside, different from China.

[@masterseries4004]

CATL should has agreed Barrett inside for filming and process sequence reports of products. CATL already done Barrett background checks and Barrett previous videos on KZbin. Both of them did have something agreed upon .

Not only CATL, many other Chinese companies going to dark light factory already, and more join everyday. Actually China maybe is the only country achieved the industrial 4.0.

[@merrick6484]

Industrial 4.0 is more than a light-less (No human operator) factory, but yes, its part of Industrial 4.0. Industrial 1.0: Upgrade from human to steam engine power manufacturing. Industrial 2.0: Computer assisted with data collection and analysis. Industrial 3.0: Automation and robotic assisted on every step of manufacturing. Industrial 4.0: Customised manufacturing with consumer behaviour integration. Example: The consumtion of every products used by a city / nation will be collected and analysed, and feed in as input data before automated production. Whenever I wish to buy a packet of chocolate, 5 lt of milk, a jumble pack of toilet paper roll, or anything. My local super market will stock my products at the right time, right package and right brand. Manufacturer don‘t have to rely on human estimation of production items. Thats industrial 4.0.

I'm glad that they have a solution to recycling their product. Cheers for showing the company. From Edmonton Alberta Canada.

[@rogerstarkey5390]

There are plenty of solutions/ companies ready to recycle. It makes sense because material "mined" (recovered) from cells is 80% cheaper and of better quality that mining new stock.

The level of automation is absolutely astonishing.

I'd love these batteries in my camper van builds ❤

[@rogerstarkey5390]

Think it through. 1000km (600 miles) Drop that to .... 400(?) for a van. How many times do you drive a campervan 400 miles without a break? . My point? No more "house" battery. . Drive 300. Stop for a brew, top up in 15 minutes, drive 200, 50% remaining, you use about 5% overnight *maximum* for heating, cooking, etc. If you must have a backup, a small all on one "power station". It's a whole new ballgame.

[@enzeda]

[@rogerstarkey5390]

Not only a conundrum, but dangerous. . Huge global economy with deficit out of control, rooted in a failing Technology, now facing the *next* technology, championed by a country they have designated "a threat" (they're not). . When the failing country has the largest military on the planet, what might they see as one "solution"? . "Big Stick"? . The alternative is to essentially go on branded knew to the new "threat" and request they be allowed to join the game. . What are the odds?

[@loungelizard836]

@10:00, a small correction. While the accessory battery directly operates all the computors, lights, etc. it is the TRACTION (or drive battery) that resupplies that smaller ("auxilliary" or "starter") battery (12V or in newer cars, 48V). The battery you display is quite large for an auxilliary battery and i think it's the main battery for a small EV or trike.

[@BarrettYT]

I take on board what you are saying, however the engineers at CATL did inform me that it is indeed an auxillary battery. I must say, I was also quite surprised, as indeed it is quite large, much bigger than the auxillary battery inside my own AITO M5

[@rogerstarkey5390]

Tell me what US has produced competitively over the last decade. Most of their branded products are manufactured in low cost centres overseas and the majority is in China. Pringles chips are produced in Thailand. LAYS chips in China just to name the potato chips snack we eat on entertainment and leisure hours. US is good in services like managing financial instruments on Wall Street, a virtual supportive to the real production economy. It creates values in that sense by providing financial resources, yes, one of the four main inputs in the production of goods. Branding, marketing n franchising are their strengths - Starbucks, Mc D, KFC etc. Most of the US physical tools if any are not from US directly. If you have, it is very expensive. US based competitiveness has been declining ever since it off-loaded these to overseas centres. Even research centres have moved off shores. Now it woke up and realised that it cannot compete. Hence the tariffs put up. Tariffs have consequences and it should be short-term with an underlying plan to strengthen the internal process and efficiency to compete. I dont see such plan like what Lee has provided. More barriers to be put up by US and the sad thing, they are hoping to drag EU down as well. I just hope EU could see the light
