Chery’s Solid-State Battery Breakthrough Promises 800-Mile EV Range, Targets 2027 Production
Chinese automaker Chery has unveiled a solid-state battery prototype with double the energy density of current EV batteries. The technology could enable electric vehicles to travel over 800 miles on a single charge while significantly reducing fire risks. Production is reportedly targeted for 2027 following a pilot program in 2026.
Breakthrough in Battery Technology
Chery Automobile has developed a solid-state battery prototype that could potentially revolutionize electric vehicle range and safety, according to recent reports. The new battery technology boasts an energy density of 600 watt-hours per kilogram (Wh/kg), which analysts suggest is approximately double the energy density of most current EV batteries. For comparison, sources indicate that Tesla’s nickel-cobalt-aluminum batteries used in Long-Range and Performance models typically range between 200-260 Wh/kg.
