CATL's stock surged 5.11% during intraday trading on Tuesday, driven by significant positive developments in its next-generation battery technology and a major charitable contribution from its leadership.

The rally follows confirmation from the company's Chief Scientist that CATL will achieve mass production of its sodium-ion battery products this year. The company has reportedly overcome four major industry bottlenecks and expects formal mass production supply to begin in the fourth quarter. Furthermore, CATL has secured a landmark 3-year, 60GWh sodium-ion battery order with Hithium, which is recognized as the world's largest sodium-ion battery order to date, signaling accelerated industrialization.

Adding to positive sentiment, CATL's Chairman recently donated 5 million of the company's shares to a university education foundation. The company has invested nearly 10 billion yuan in sodium battery research and development, positioning itself at the forefront of this technology's commercialization.
