[The Largest Solid-State Battery Project in China] The Qingtao Kunshan solid-state lithium cell industrialisation project, with a total investment of 5 billion yuan, is set to commence production in June. It is reported that this project is currently the largest solid-state lithium cell mass production project in China and one of the leading solid-state lithium cell mass production projects globally. Upon reaching full production, the annual installed capacity will reach 10 billion watt-hours, with the first phase having an annual installed capacity of 3.5 billion watt-hours. Qingtao Energy is a leader in the industrialisation of solid-state lithium cells in China, having established the country's first solid-state lithium cell production line and being one of the earliest companies to achieve mass production and delivery of solid-state batteries.

CATL All‑Solid‑State Battery: From TRL‑4 to Small‑Batch in 2027?

On July 29, in a reply on the interactive investor platform (HuDongYi), CATL stated that “small‑batch production is expected in 2027.” These two statements, separated by 36 days, were interpreted by the market as a “self‑correction,” but in fact they refer to different evaluation frameworks: the former anchors technical route maturity (TRL), while the latter anchors manufacturing maturity targets (MRL 7–8).

CATL All-Solid-State Battery: From TRL-4 to Small-Batch Production in 2027? [SMM Analysis]

[SMM Analysis: CATL All-Solid-State Battery – From TRL-4 to Small Batch Production in 2027?] At the Davos Forum in June 2026, Zeng Yuqun judged that all-solid-state batteries are currently only at Level 4 based on TRL (Technology Readiness Level 1-9). On July 29, a reply on Hudongyi stated, “Small batch production is expected in 2027.” The two statements, made just 36 days apart, were interpreted by the market as a “self-correction,” but in fact they used different evaluation frameworks: the former anchored on technology maturity (TRL), while the latter on a manufacturing readiness target (MRL 7-8). Considering chief scientist Wu Kai’s earlier public target of reaching levels 7-8 by 2027, the pace of CATL’s Yibin 2 Gwh pilot line, and SMM’s tracking of the industry chain, the small-batch trial production in 2027 does not conflict with the view that “it is difficult to install batteries in millions of vehicles before 2030.” The industrialisation of all-solid-state batteries remains in the transition stage from “pilot verification to demonstration production.” The industry consensus on the timetable is maintained: semi-solid-state (liquid-solid) batteries will be installed in vehicles in 2026, all-solid-state small-batch production in 2027, and large-scale commercial adoption after 2030.

Solid-State Battery July 2026 ： Policy Standardization + Hundred-Ton-Level Production Lines + Semi-Solid Batteries

① Policy: China's first national standard for vehicle solid-state batteries (GB/T43568-2026) took effect, paired with a consumption tax exemption; ② Materials: multiple hundred-ton-level sulfide production lines commenced commissioning in Q3, with a leading EV manufacturer completing a 1‑ton electrolyte tender (awarded below RMB 2 million/ton), signaling the industry's shift to "ton‑level transactions"; ③ Products ：SVOLT Energy's hybrid solid-liquid batteries entered volume production in Q3,
