MG Motor, a brand under China’s state-owned automaker SAIC Motor (Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation), has begun delivering the MG4 model equipped with a semi-solid-state battery in China.

SAIC MG stated that the quasi-solid-state battery, which reduces the proportion of liquid electrolyte to 5%, significantly lowers the risk of combustion while improving battery lifecycle performance. In a recent nail penetration test, the battery showed no signs of smoke, fire, or explosion for two hours, demonstrating a safety level 20% higher than that of conventional batteries.

[SMM Analysis] Riding the Winds In and Outside China, Breaking the Iron Law of Old Cycles: 2026 Energy Storage Battery Cell Semi-Annual Review and Outlook

[SMM Analysis] In H1, the overflow of global utility-scale energy storage long-term contracts intertwined with the growing pains of production line upgrades. This not only completely shattered the cyclical pattern of "retreat after rapid rise" in the energy storage market, but also directly triggered a structural shortage and a strong price recovery for 314Ah battery cells. Furthermore, driven by the looming cancellation of tax rebates at year-end, an even more intense wave of "export rush" is gaining momentum, potentially pushing the full-year battle between volume and price to its peak.
