Zero pollution! Equipped with CATL batteries, the world’s largest electric cruise ship successfully trialled

It is understood that the "Yangtze Three Gorges 1" is 100 meters long, 16.2 meters wide, and can carry 1,300 passengers. It is equipped with Ningde Times The 7,500 kWh marine power battery (equivalent to the total battery capacity of more than 100 pure electric vehicles) is the largest and most intelligent new energy pure electric ship designed and built in the world.

At the same time, the "Yangtze Three Gorges 1" is the world's first electric ship to adopt a high-voltage charging and low-voltage power supply solution, solving the charging problem in high-power ports. After the project is put into operation, it will be driven by the clean hydropower of the Three Gorges Power Station, making it a green ship that truly achieves "zero pollution and zero emissions".

It is reported that after the "Yangtze Three Gorges 1" arrives at the home port of Yichang, it will complete the soft furnishing layout and hotel equipment installation, debug high and low voltage charging equipment, ship tilting experiments, ship navigation tests, etc. It is planned to be put into commercial trial operation in April 2022. It will be mainly used for tourist routes such as Two Dams and One Gorge, Yichang Yangtze River Night Tour, Three Gorges Ship Lift, etc., to provide tourists with leisure, entertainment, tourism and sightseeing services.

Weike.com Lithium Battery has noticed that the ship electrification market is a huge market, and lithium batteries are rapidly penetrating this market. Data show that in 2020, China's lithium-ion battery shipments for electric ships reached 75.6Mwh, a year-on-year increase of 94.8%.

Market forecasts indicate that by 2025, the lithium-ion penetration rate of my country’s electric ships will reach 20%, and the corresponding market size will reach 55 billion.
