China's largest carmaker SAIC Group expects to see its first model with solid-state battery roll off the assembly line in two years, as more local carmakers target the new battery technology for a longer range.
SAIC is ramping up its research and development work on solid-state battery cells and is making every effort to promote the large-scale application of solid-state batteries, the company said in a recent investor survey, according to a May 22 report by local media Jiemian.
SAIC's first mass-produced model with the solid-state battery will roll off the production line in 2025, it said, adding that it will allow users to enjoy a safe car experience while providing them with higher energy density power battery cells.
The report did not provide any further details. SAIC has not disclosed the investor activity.
On May 19, Ganfeng Lithium -- the world's largest lithium producer by market capitalization -- said in the minutes of an investor meeting that it had begun mass production of its first-generation solid-state battery.
Ganfeng's first-generation solid-state battery can reach an energy density of 260 Wh/kg, and its production line is designed to have an annual capacity of 4 GWh, according to the minutes.
Back at SAIC, its solid-state battery appears to have been developed with local startup QingTao Energy Development, similar to what NIO did with Beijing WeLion New Energy Technology.
On July 6, 2022, SAIC announced that it had set up a joint lab with QingTao to develop solid-state batteries.
The two will focus on the mass production of solid-state batteries with a range of more than 1,000 kilometers, 4C fast-charging technology and the development of high-safety, long-life solid-state batteries, according to a press release at the time.
C refers to the battery's charging multiplier, and 4C means that the battery could theoretically be fully charged in a quarter of an hour.
The lab will also conduct high-efficiency solid-state battery integration technology development to push solid-state battery technology to accelerate mass production, SAIC previously said.
NIO unveiled a 150-kWh semi-solid-state battery when it launched its flagship sedan, the NIO ET7, at the NIO Day 2020 event on January 9, 2021, thus bringing the new battery technology to wider attention.
Earlier this month, NIO filed for the addition of WeLion as a battery cell supplier in three models, signaling that its 150-kWh semi-solid-state battery pack is not far from being available.

MG's electric roadster Cyberster is not far from being available in China after the model made its debut at the Shanghai auto show two years ago.
The arrival of the electric vehicle (EV) era has led to many models that feel fresh in China, and an electric roadster from MG is the latest one.
China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the latest batch of models that will soon be allowed to be sold in a catalog for public comment on April 11, and MG's Cyberster was included.
Entry into the catalog is the last major regulatory process for a model to be allowed to be sold in China. The public can submit feedback between April 12 and April 18.
MG has filed three versions for the Cyberster, including two single-motor versions as well as a dual-motor version.
The MG Cyberster is a two-seater with a length of 4,535 mm, a width of 1,913 mm, a height of 1,329 mm and a wheelbase of 2,690 mm.
Both single-motor versions are equipped with rear-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motors, the lower version with 231 kW peak power and the other with 250 kW peak power, both supporting a top speed of 193 km/h.
The dual-motor version is equipped with two permanent magnet synchronous motors with peak power of 150 kW and 250 kW, respectively, and supports a top speed of 200 km/h.
The MG Cyberster is powered by ternary lithium-ion batteries from a joint venture between SAIC and CATL.
It is worth noting that the MG Cyberster was first unveiled two years ago on the first day of the Shanghai auto show -- April 19, 2021 -- based on the MG cyber cube platform.
MG conducted a crowdfunding campaign for the roadster at the time, and then confirmed that the model would be mass-produced after the crowdfunding amount reached RMB 50 million.
The official release date and price information for the model are currently unknown.
MG, short for Morris Garages, is a vehicle brand owned by Shanghai-based SAIC Motor Corporation.
