China’s leading automakers are racing to put solid-state batteries into real vehicles, with several companies announcing testing timelines for 2026. Dongfeng is cold-weather testing 350 Wh/kg cells, Changan plans 400 Wh/kg installations by October, and Chery unveiled a 600 Wh/kg prototype at its March Battery Night event. These next-generation batteries promise over 900 miles of range, faster charging, and better safety than current lithium-ion packs. Mass production is expected around 2027-2030.
