BYD aims to debut solid-state EV battery in 2027
Briefly

BYD is set to unveil initial demonstrations of solid-state electric vehicle batteries by 2027, as stated by its Chief Technical Officer, Sun Huajun. While he anticipates further advancements will not yield large-scale adoption until 2030, BYD expects these batteries to offer significant enhancements in energy density, allowing for greater driving range and quicker charging times. As the second-largest battery manufacturer globally, BYD aims to achieve competitive pricing for solid-state batteries comparable to current liquid options, although mass production is still years away. Other major players are also advancing in this technology, albeit slowly.
BYD plans to showcase solid-state EV battery demos by 2027, but wide adoption is projected for 2030, indicating a progressive approach toward innovative battery technology.
Sun Huajun, BYD's CTO, noted that solid-state batteries will offer higher energy density and faster charging times, enhancing the overall EV performance and user experience.
While BYD expects costs to eventually match those of liquid batteries, achieving mass production for solid-state alternatives is projected to take several more years.
Major automakers like CATL, Honda, and Toyota are also in the race for solid-state batteries, though progress remains slow across the industry.
