Will solid-state batteries continue to dominate the electric vehicle market, and are solid-state batteries coming quickly? The prominent automotive manufacturer, “Geely,” has been making headlines with misleading advertisements regarding solid-state batteries.
As of April 13, 2025, there is significant anticipation surrounding the advancements in solid-state battery technology. On April 10, the automotive group announced that their first-generation solid-state battery will be integrated into the upcoming MG4 model this year. By 2027, Geely aims to release a “solid-state battery” vehicle.
The new first-generation solid-state battery is expected to achieve an energy density exceeding 400Wh/kg, a volumetric energy density surpassing 820Wh/L, and a capacity exceeding 75Ah. This battery will be able to maintain its charge without the risk of combustion, ensuring over 90% safety in retention.
In the realm of new energy vehicles, solid-state batteries are viewed as the next significant technological breakthrough, even surpassing lithium-ion batteries. Many companies are forecasting that between 2027 and 2030, the solid-state battery will make its mark in the compact vehicle segment, with widespread applications anticipated after 2030.
The solid-state battery technology is expected to reach an energy density of 400Wh/kg by 2027 to 2028, with commercial viability projected around 2030. The energy density required for automotive applications is anticipated to reach 500Wh/kg, necessitating breakthroughs in production technology, likely driven by advancements in artificial intelligence and automated production systems.
Industry analysts suggest that solid-state battery production is expected to stabilize around 2030 to 2035, with an uncertain timeframe of about five years. Notably, the first quarter of 2025 is projected to see solid-state batteries reach 22% of the market, a significant increase from 5% in 2023.
Geely’s CEO has indicated that the company plans to expand its solid-state battery production significantly by 2025, aiming for substantial output in the next few years. The solid-state battery is currently seen as a key player in the future of electric vehicle technology, with various manufacturers including Geely exploring its potential.
As advancements in solid-state battery technology continue, the industry is poised for rapid growth, with demands for electric vehicles escalating. By 2030, the market is expected to require over 1500GWh of battery capacity, reflecting the immense scale of the solid-state battery market.
In conclusion, solid-state batteries represent a promising future in the electric vehicle sector, with significant advancements and increased production capabilities on the horizon. As technology progresses, the automotive industry anticipates that solid-state batteries will become the standard in electric vehicle manufacturing.
