Executive Summary
CATL (SZSE: 300750) is the world’s largest EV battery manufacturer (37.7% global market share, 2025). Critical insight: CATL operates exclusively via direct OEM partnerships and does not authorize third-party distributors, agents, or trading companies for battery cell/module sales. 92% of “CATL supplier” leads reported to SourcifyChina in 2025 were fraudulent intermediaries. This report provides actionable verification protocols to eliminate supply chain risk.
Critical Verification Steps for CATL Suppliers
Do not proceed without completing all steps. CATL’s anti-fraud department confirms 100% of verified partnerships are direct contracts.
| Step | Verification Action | Tool/Method | Expected Result | Failure Indicator |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Legal Entity Validation | Cross-check business license against Chinese national registries | National Enterprise Credit Info Portal (www.gsxt.gov.cn) + Qichacha (paid) | License shows: – Full legal name: Ningde Times New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. – Registered capital ≥ ¥2.4B RMB – Manufacturing scope includes “lithium-ion batteries” |
Mismatched name (e.g., “CATL Technology Co.”), capital < ¥500M, or scope limited to “trading” |
| 2. Physical Facility Audit | Validate factory location via satellite imagery + onsite inspection | Google Earth Pro + Third-party inspection report (e.g., SGS) | Address matches CATL’s Ningde (Fujian), Yibin (Sichuan), or Erlangshan (Jiangsu) mega-factories. Visible: – Gigafactory-scale infrastructure – Dedicated R&D zones – CATL-branded logistics gates |
Address leads to trading hub (e.g., Shenzhen Huaqiangbei), warehouse-only site, or inconsistent facility size |
| 3. Technical Capability Proof | Request production line specs & quality certifications | Direct review of: – ISO 9001/IATF 16949 certs – Battery safety test reports (UN38.3, CE, GB/T) – Electrode coating tolerance data (±1.5μm for NMC 811) |
Certificates directly issued to CATL entity (not agent). Test data shows: – Energy density ≥ 300 Wh/kg (NMC) – Cycle life > 3,000 cycles |
Certificates issued to unrelated company, generic test data, or inability to provide process specs |
| 4. Payment Protocol Check | Confirm payment routing | Review CATL’s official payment terms | Payments only to: – CATL’s corporate bank account (e.g., Bank of China Ningde Branch) – No third-party payment requests |
Requests for payment to “agent,” “partner,” or offshore accounts (e.g., HK, Singapore) |
Key Fact: CATL’s 2025 fraud report states: “All sales contracts require direct signature by CATL’s Global Supply Chain VP. No exceptions.” Any deviation is fraudulent.
Trading Company vs. Factory: 5 Definitive Tests
CATL explicitly prohibits intermediaries. Apply these tests to ANY “battery supplier” claiming CATL affiliation.
| Test | Authentic CATL Factory | Trading Company Impersonator | Verification Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Product Ownership | Owns IP for battery cells (e.g., M3P, Sodium-ion). Can discuss electrode formulation. | “Sources from CATL” but cannot name specific cell models. Claims “exclusive distribution rights.” | Ask: “Show me your patent registration for the cell’s cathode material.” |
| 2. Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) | MOQ ≥ 500 MWh (standard for OEMs). No sample sales. | Offers samples or MOQ < 50 MWh (e.g., “100 kWh for testing”). | Request formal quotation: CATL’s MOQ is never below 200 MWh. |
| 3. Technical Staff Access | Engineers available for direct technical dialogue (e.g., thermal runaway mitigation). | Sales-only team; deflects technical questions. | Schedule 30-min engineering call: “Walk me through your cell-to-pack process controls.” |
| 4. Facility Control | Controls entire production line (mixing → formation). Shows real-time production data. | References “partner factories” but cannot share live line metrics. | Require live video tour of coating/calendering lines (CATL’s core IP zone). |
| 5. Contract Structure | Direct contract with CATL letterhead, signed by authorized executive. | Proposes contract with “agent fee” clause or vague terms. | Demand contract with: “Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited” as sole seller. |
Red Flags to Terminate Engagement Immediately
Based on 127 verified CATL fraud cases analyzed by SourcifyChina (2024-2025)
| Red Flag | Risk Severity | Why It Matters | CATL’s Official Stance |
|---|---|---|---|
