A new target for solid-state batteries

Gotion High-Tech said it aims to reach an energy density of 400 Wh/kg in solid-state batteries. Energy density indicates how much energy a battery can store relative to its weight; higher values allow longer range at the same weight.

Production plans on the agenda

The company shared not only its technical target but also its production plans. Solid-state batteries carry the potential for higher energy density and better safety compared with conventional lithium-ion cells.

What it means for electric vehicles

This race among battery makers directly affects the balance between range and weight in electric vehicles. Gotion's target can be read as a signal about the commercialization timeline for solid-state technology in the industry.
