BYD plans to bring all-solid-state batteries to EVs by 2027, but it's not alone

The next generation of EV batteries may be closer than expected. BYD and several others plan to begin deploying EVs with all-solid-state batteries in just a few months.

All-solid-state EV batteries hit the market in 2027

Solid-state battery tech took a major leap this year, with a new “milestone” or “breakthrough” reported seemingly every week.

China’s SAIC Motor launched the new MG4 as “the world’s first mass-produced semi-solid-state” electric vehicle last year, but the company is now gearing up to introduce its all-solid-state EV batteries in 2027.

Earlier this year, SAIC and Chinese partner Qingtao Energy produced an electric vehicle prototype equipped with its “Guangqi” all-solid-state battery. Over the next few months, the companies will continue testing prototypes as they aim for mass production in 2027.
