However, only a few have advanced beyond the conceptual stage, and even fewer have been successfully tested with passengers on board.
While Kunpeng will debut with three series of batteries capable of 6C charging; the company is expecting to achieve an energy density of 400 Wh/kg with the solid state batteries by the end of this year, increasing it to 600 Wh/kg by 2025. The first car application of the solid state batteries is scheduled for 2026, followed by initial batch production in 2027, giving EVs a potential range of 1,500 km.
The battery series is expected to be integrated into its NEVs in the coming months. In September, Chery sold over 60,000 NEVs out of a total sales of 244,534 vehicle. Yin Tongyue, chairman of the company, anticipates reaching 80,000 NEV sales this month and 100,000 by year’s end.Bojan Stojkovski is a freelance journalist based in Skopje, North Macedonia, covering foreign policy and technology for more than a decade.
