This information was announced earlier than expected. Previously, SAIC announced that the sedan L6 model using solid-state batteries will be produced in the fall of 2024.
company solid-state batteries are considered a revolution in the electric vehicle industry. This type of battery has twice the energy density of the current electric vehicle battery, allowing for a stronger operating range but a smaller battery pack and lower production costs.
Many car manufacturers are actively racing to apply this technology. BMW has also said that it will launch a model using this type of battery in 2030 and Toyota will launch it in 2027.
Meanwhile, MG has announced the launch of a solid-state battery version after 2026. However, the above timeline has changed because the launch date will be earlier based on the statement of Yu Jingmin - Executive Vice President of SAIC's subsidiary.
Although the Executive Vice President of SAIC's subsidiary did not disclose any specific models, he said that this model will be launched in the second quarter of 2025 and sold before the end of the year.
SAIC's sedan L6 uses solid-state battery technology with a capacity of 133 kWh for an operating range of up to 1,000 km.
