Svolt has completed development of its first-generation semi-solid-state square battery cells with an energy density of 270 Wh/kg.

These solid-state batteries feature an energy density of 350 Wh/kg, and Dongfeng has already put a 0.2 GWh pilot line into operation.

CATL's fifth-generation LFP batteries have achieved new breakthroughs in energy density and cycle life, according to its chairman Robin Zeng.

CATL's market share in October increased by 0.19 percentage points compared to September, while BYD's share grew by 0.22 percentage points.

CATL and GAC will deepen long-term cooperation in battery rental and joint station construction to fully advance CATL's Choco-Swap ecosystem.

Representatives from several Chinese automakers visited CATL headquarters to secure battery capacity before the rollback of NEV purchase tax incentive.

CATL and BYD collectively installed 442.2 GWh of EV batteries in January-September 2025, accounting for 54.5 percent of the global total.

The first phase of the plant is planned with a capacity of 20 GWh, with trial production scheduled for 2026 and full-scale production starting in 2027.

"Semi-solid-state batteries" will be named "solid-liquid batteries" in China to prevent public confusion with solid-state batteries, according to a local media report.

Sunwoda plans to complete a 0.2 GWh pilot production line for solid-state battery cells by year-end.
