The Chinese automaker Dongfeng has officially decided to postpone the mass production of its solid-state battery technology until 2027. Although the company previously aimed for a 2026 launch, leadership shifted to a more cautious timeline to refine industrialization processes and manage manufacturing costs. These advanced power cells have already demonstrated impressive reliability during stress tests, maintaining significant capacity in freezing temperatures and remaining stable under extreme heat. Once implemented, this technology will be integrated into a high-voltage platform designed to support rapid charging and driving ranges exceeding 1,000 kilometers. Currently, the manufacturer is focusing on a hybrid liquid-solid battery as an intermediate step toward achieving a fully solid-state solution. This strategic delay highlights the ongoing technical complexity of transitioning from experimental prototypes to large-scale commercial availability.If you find this podcast useful, you can support it here: https://buymeacoffee.com/emotorselectricrevolution.
