According to the statistics of SNER Research, there are six battery companies in China that are listed on the top 10 of the global EV battery installed capacity, which is far ahead of other countries in terms of market share and the number on the list. And a new round of fighting reappears in the circuit of solid-state batteries.

China's battery companies have begun to enter the solid-state battery arms race on a large scale. Dozens of companies such as Qingtao, Weilan, Huineng, Tailan, Enli Solid State, High-energy Times, and Mengwei have successively launched solid state batteries with energy density of 400Wh/kg, and plan to put them into mass production from 2022 to 2023. With the momentum of 1000-kilometer endurance BEV advancing rapidly, China's automobile enterprises such as SAIC Zhiji, GAC Aian, Weilai, and Gaohe have actively researched or cooperated with solid state battery manufacturers to jointly promote the process of solid state battery installation.

The NE era has summarized the current situation of solid state batteries on the vehicle. Generally speaking, both at home and abroad, it has been clear that the first application of solid and liquid hybrid batteries on the vehicle is the battery factory. This year or next year, the battery factory will supply samples for the vehicle enterprises, carry out loading tests, and carry out small batch manufacturing, so as to ensure that the vehicle enterprises with the intention of loading applications can launch new vehicles according to the time plan. All solid-state batteries will be applied between 2025 and 2030.

Vehicle enterprise: Weilai

Battery manufacturer: Weilan New Energy

Weilan New Energy is cooperating with Weilai and plans to launch a hybrid solid-liquid electrolyte battery with a single charging range of 1000 km based on Weilai ET7, and the battery is expected to start mass production at the end of 2022 or the first half of 2023 at the earliest.

In March, Li Hong, the chief scientist and founder of Weilan New Energy, revealed at the China Electric Vehicle Hundred Forum that Weilan New Energy has developed a hybrid solid-liquid electrolyte power lithium battery, which will be mass produced and applied on the Weilai ET7 model, with a single charge of 1000km, a battery pack capacity of 150kWh, and a single energy density of 360Wh/kg.
