The battery cells achieve an energy density exceeding 500 Wh/kg, with the battery pack capacity reaching 142 kWh.

The collaboration will focus on joint R&D of high-performance materials for next-generation solid-state batteries, covering multiple core materials.

BYD said that the mass production timeline for its sodium-ion batteries will be determined based on market and customer demand.

CATL and Changan jointly unveiled a passenger vehicle model equipped with sodium-ion batteries, slated for market launch in mid-2026.

Changan said it will collaborate with CATL to address mobility challenges in cold winter weather.

CATL's Naxtra brand sodium-ion batteries have been loaded into a passenger vehicle model from Changan Oshan and are set to undergo winter testing.

Geely Auto will complete production of its first in-house developed all-solid-state battery pack in 2026 and conduct vehicle installation verification.

The first passenger vehicle model equipped with CATL's sodium-ion batteries will come from GAC Aion.

The sodium-ion battery is engineered for extreme cold environments, retaining 90% of its usable capacity at -40°C, CATL said.

LG Energy Solution plans to complete construction of the pilot production line within the year and begin sample production.
