The Annual Meeting and Summit Forum of China's Industry-University-Research Collaborative Innovation Platform for Solid-State Batteries convened in Beijing from February 15 to 16, 2025. During the event, it was disclosed that FAW Group embarked on research and development of solid-state batteries as early as 2014, with ambitions to deploy them in small-scale applications by 2027. Similarly, BYD aims to introduce demonstration vehicles equipped with these batteries by 2027, paving the way for large-scale adoption post-2030. Guoxuan High-Tech plans to commence small-scale experimental production by 2027, transitioning to mass production by 2030. Changan Automobile, on the other hand, intends to unveil eight self-developed battery cells by 2030. In contrast, foreign brands exhibit a more conservative stance, with BMW anticipating a decade-long wait before solid-state batteries achieve widespread adoption. Solid-state batteries are anticipated to address the cold sensitivity issue plaguing electric vehicle batteries, leveraging their high energy density, robust endurance, and resilience in low temperatures.
