SAIC said last month that its upcoming EV under the Intelligence in Motion (IM) lineup will feature a semi-solid-state battery pack. Why it matters: The development is the latest example of liquid-state lithium-ion pack leader China ramping up efforts to master the technology.

saying last month that its plan for mass-producing such batteries in 2027 is well on track.a roughly 60% rise compared with CATLs highly advanced Qilin battery.Global auto majors and battery makers have been adopting three highly promising solid electrolytes in place of a liquid one.

allowing it to maintain thermal stability at 200°C above operating temperature.and expected its future rollout of the technology to offer drivers a range of over 620 miles per charge by 2026.
