⚡ With strong innovation and rising investments, oxide SSE technology is set to transform the future of energy storage and sustainable mobility.

The next-gen battery promises energy densities of around 600 Wh/kg, potentially enabling driving ranges of up to 1,300–1,500 km on a single charge while delivering superior safety and stability compared to conventional lithium-ion cells. With pilot deployment targeted for 2026 and mass production expected by 2027, this breakthrough could redefine EV performance—combining ultra-long range, fast charging, and reliable operation even in extreme conditions.

Researchers at Nankai University have successfully tested a semi-solid-state EV battery capable of delivering over 1,000 km of driving range on a single charge, marking a major breakthrough in next-generation battery technology. Developed in collaboration with China FAW Group and its battery unit CANEB, the battery pack features a 142 kWh capacity and achieves cell-level energy density above 500 Wh/kg, significantly higher than conventional lithium-ion batteries.

Karma Automotive, America’s only full-line ultra-luxury automotive manufacturer, and Factorial, a U.S.-based leader in solid-state battery technology, today announced the launch of the first solid-state battery production program in the United States for passenger vehicles.

Karma Automotive and Factorial Energy have launched a U.S. solid-state battery program for passenger EVs, aiming to accelerate development of next-gen energy storage with improved safety, energy density and performance. This collaboration highlights a major step toward commercializing solid-state technology and strengthening the future of sustainable electric mobility.

QuantumScape has inaugurated its Eagle Line — a highly automated pilot production facility for its next-generation QSE-5 solid-state battery cells — marking a key milestone in scaling solid-state battery manufacturing beyond the lab and toward gigawatt-hour-level production readiness. The Eagle Line integrates QuantumScape’s breakthrough ceramic separator technology and will support customer sampling, testing and future licensing partnerships, bringing solid-state energy storage a step closer to commercialisation in EVs and other applications.
