On January 7, our reporter discovered that XinJie Energy has furnished the EH216-S series of eVTOLs (Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing aircraft) with solid-state lithium metal batteries. These aircraft have achieved a significant milestone by successfully completing China's first unmanned cross-strait flight with a pilot on board (a term used here to describe a flight that is primarily unmanned but has provisions for a pilot to intervene if necessary). The Falcon solid-state lithium metal battery stands out with its remarkable energy density of 480Wh/kg, which is 1.5 to 2 times greater than that of the prevailing mainstream aviation batteries. Our reporter, drawing on insights from the industrial chain, confirmed that Shenzhen Haimuixing plays the pivotal role of the lead equipment supplier in the production of these advanced solid-state batteries.
