China - Recent China's solid-state batteries are projected to be integrated into new energy vehicles by 2027, with mass production and widespread application anticipated by 2030, said a person in charge of China EV100, a new energy vehicle industry think tank, in Beijing on Tuesday. The think tank also said that compared to the lithium-ion batteries generally adopted in current new energy vehicles, solid-state batteries have advantages such as higher safety, higher energy density, longer lifespan, and faster charging speed. The year 2024 marks a milestone for the country's solid-state batteries. Since the second half of 2024, the number of China's solid-state battery patent applications has rapidly increased, surpassing Japan's by three times. At the same time, major domestic automotive battery companies have started to focus on the development of solid-state battery technology with sulfide as the main electrolyte. Experts have predicted that the industrialization of solid-state batteries is expected to begin around 2027 to 2028, with full-scale mass production achievable by 2030. Furthermore, Ouyang Minggao, an academician with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and vice chairman of China EV100, also said that in the new energy vehicle market of 2025, it is anticipated that plug-in hybrid technology will account for around 40 percent, range-extender technology will maintain around 10 percent, and pure electric technology is expected to decrease to around 50 percent. Moreover, currently, Chinese automotive companies are widely incorporating DeepSeek, which boosts the confidence of domestic enterprises in maintaining their leading position in the field of intelligent driving.
