Recently, market rumors suggest the electric vehicle industry is accelerating the "de-CATL" trend. New automakers such as Li Auto (02015) and Xiaomi (01810) have successively initiated self-developed battery projects with other battery manufacturers. Coupled with suspected official moves in mainland China to halt new battery projects, CATL's A and H shares have continued to suffer. Since September 16, the stock has fluctuated around the 500-yuan level in a seesaw battle; excluding today, there have been three trading days in the past when the stock intraday fell below the 500-yuan level, but ultimately found support and closed above the 500-yuan level.
