[Zhang Yongwei from China EV100: The Link Between China's Automotive Industry and the World is Increasingly Becoming a Key Issue in Global Cooperation]Zhang Yongwei, Vice Chairman and Secretary General of China EV100, stated that in the global transformation towards electrification and intelligence, each region has developed its own characteristics, indicating a change in the landscape, but the globalized nature of the automotive industry remains unchanged. Regarding the new development advantages of China's automotive industry and its links with the global automotive market and industry chain, Zhang Yongwei pointed out that in this new environment, how China's automotive industry, particularly vehicle manufacturers, develops overseas is one of the keys to global cooperation. Secondly, how the global automotive industry can better utilize China's automotive supply chain to serve their home countries is a new topic for global automakers. Thirdly, for global multinational automakers and large-scale multinational parts companies that have entered or are preparing to enter China, how to better develop in China is a question. Fourthly, China's automotive industry is redefining new automotive consumption and new products, and these changes in the market and consumption are gradually influencing the global consumer market. It should be recognized that the link between China's automotive industry and the world is increasingly becoming one of the key issues in global cooperation. (Cailian Press)

[Ganfeng Lithium: Has Formed a Full-Chain Layout for Solid-State Batteries, Advancing Both Silicon-Based and Lithium Metal Anode Routes Simultaneously]Ganfeng Lithium (002460.SZ) announced in a public notice of investor relations activity records that the company has formed a full-chain layout for solid-state batteries, covering key links such as sulphide electrolytes and raw materials, oxide electrolytes, and lithium metal anodes. The company is simultaneously advancing both silicon-based and lithium metal anode routes. Among them, the cycle life of the 400Wh/kg battery has exceeded 800 cycles and completed engineering verification; the first 500Wh/kg-class 10Ah product has achieved small-batch mass production. The silicon-based system has achieved a gradient layout of 320-450Wh/kg products, with the cycle life of the 320Wh/kg battery cell exceeding 1,000 cycles. The company will fully leverage the synergistic advantages of upstream and downstream industrial integration, continue to increase R&D efforts, promote the commercialization process of solid-state batteries, and facilitate energy transformation and industrial upgrading.
[Two Consecutive Daily Limit-Ups for Lopal: Wholly-Owned Subsidiary Involved in the Development of Ternary Cathode Precursors for Solid-State Batteries, Currently Still in the R&D and Trial Phase]Lopal (603906. SH) announced that the cumulative deviation in the closing prices of the company's stock over three consecutive trading days exceeded 20%, indicating abnormal fluctuations in stock trading. The company has noticed that the concept of solid-state batteries has recently garnered significant market attention. As of now, the company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Jiangsu Sanjin Lithium Battery Technology Co., Ltd., is involved in the development of ternary cathode precursors for solid-state batteries, which is currently in the R&D and trial stage. Some precursor materials have been sent in small batches to top-tier enterprises and have passed customer tests, but no revenue has been generated from external sales yet, and it does not have a significant impact on the company's overall performance.

It currently has no impact on the company's performance, and the market competition in this business area is fierce, with future uncertainties. (Financial News Agency)
[Gotion High-tech: Jinshi All-Solid-State Battery and G Yuan Quasi-Solid-State Battery Have Not Yet Achieved Commercial Application; Specific Cooperation Progress Between Hefei Gotion and EHang Intelligent Remains Uncertain] Gotion High-tech (002074.SZ) issued an abnormal fluctuation announcement, noting that the concept of solid-state batteries has recently garnered significant market attention. The company released new technologies and products such as the second-generation Jinshi all-solid-state battery and G Yuan quasi-solid-state battery with high safety and high energy density in May this year. Currently, the Jinshi all-solid-state battery is in the pilot production stage, and the G Yuan quasi-solid-state battery has been sent to customers for sample testing and vehicle testing. The above technologies and products have not yet achieved commercial application and do not have a significant impact on the company's overall performance. In addition, the company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Hefei Gotion, recently reached a strategic cooperation agreement with EHang Intelligent. Hefei Gotion will customize high-energy-density power battery system solutions for EHang Intelligent's unmanned electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOL). Due to factors such as macroeconomic conditions, industry policies, and changes in the market environment, the specific cooperation content and progress remain uncertain and do not have a significant impact on the company's overall performance.
