How big is Qingtao's lithium battery production line?

In 2020, QingTao completed a solid-state lithium battery production line with an annual capacity of 1 GWh of capacity.

Can solid-state battery technology break the current energy density bottleneck?

Chinese solid state battery startup QingTao 10 GWh project begins construction. Solid-state battery technology is seen as a solution to break the current energy density bottleneck of power batteries, and any new developments about it are in the spotlight.

How far can a solid-state battery go?

Although still in development, initial tests indicate that the solid-state battery can achieve a maximum range of 1,083 kilometers, one of the highest in its category. In August, Chinese state-owned automotive manufacturer SAIC Motor announced its plan to embark on a joint venture with solid-state battery startup Qingtao Energy Development.

What is a solid-state battery?

The solid-state battery developed by SAIC Motor and Qingtao Energy Development aims not only to extend range but also to reduce costs and improve charging speeds. According to official sources, the maximum range and 10-minute charging range of this solid-state battery are nearly equivalent to CATL’s Shenxing battery.
