So far, there is no new energy vehicle equipped with solid-state batteries on the market. Although the concept of solid-state batteries has been around for a long time, limited by various factors such as technology and cost, solid-state batteries at this stage It is still difficult to achieve mass production and loading. In contrast, semi-solid batteries have been mass-produced. The following models will be equipped with semi-solid batteries:
1. NIO ET7 150kWh
Time to market: Summer 2023 (expected)
As early as NIO Day in 2020, Weilai officially released a 150kWh semi-solid battery, which was jointly developed by Weilan New Energy and Weilai. The energy density is as high as 360Wh/kg, which is higher than the Kirin battery of Ningde era and Tesla's 4680 battery.
However, limited by cost issues, Weilai's 150-degree semi-solid battery has not yet been mass-produced. The company's co-founder Qin Lihong only revealed that the semi-solid battery will be officially launched in the summer of 2023 at the earliest, and may It is preferentially applied to NIO ET7.
2. Lantu chasing light
Time to market: April 2023
Lantu Chasing Light is currently the only new energy vehicle on the market that is equipped with a semi-solid battery. The supplier of the semi-solid battery is Funeng Technology. The battery capacity is 82.11kWh, which can provide 580 kilometers of CLTC pure electricity for the vehicle. Battery life, the battery energy density is 170Wh/kg.
Compared with the semi-solid batteries of other manufacturers and even the Kirin battery of the Ningde era, the semi-solid batteries of Lantu Chasing Light do not show the advantages of large capacity, high energy density and long battery life. The reason is because of the semi-solid state of Lantu Chasing Light. The main focus of the battery is safety, not blindly pursuing battery life, and its safety is comparable to BYD's blade battery.
3. Cyrus SF5
Time to market: within 2023
At the beginning of this year, Ganfeng Lithium Industry announced that it will cooperate with Celes Group to develop semi-solid batteries. The first product of the cooperation between the two parties is a ternary solid-liquid hybrid lithium battery. It will be launched in 2023. The energy density of the battery can reach 260Wh/kg, and the low-temperature energy retention rate can reach 85%. It is expected to provide the vehicle with a WLTC pure electric cruising range of up to 530 kilometers.
The above is the launch time of semi-solid battery vehicles. As for when all solid-state battery vehicles will be launched, it is still unknown. Compared with all-solid-state batteries, the technical difficulty and cost of semi-solid batteries are lower, so they can be mass-produced and loaded into vehicles earlier. As more and more manufacturers start to enter semi-solid batteries, it is expected that the focus of future battery technology will also increase. will focus on semi-solid technology.
