Solid-state EV batteries take another big step forward in China. Production to begin in 2027, scaling up by 2029.

1. Can’t be soon enough. Lighter and no chance of fire will be great 👍

2. Will there ever be a time when US consumers will be able to buy Chinese electric cars without huge tariffs attached? Our local producers seem to be scaling back on their EV production.

3. Hopefully the US can pull its head out its ass and start putting some incentives into the solid state battery technology being developed in the US.

4. I’ll believe it when I see a random ass YouTuber with 2k subscriptions driving one around.

5. Articles about battery breakthroughs are a dime a dozen. Very few make it out of the lab and into mass production. Solid state batteries seem very promising but until it’s demonstrated that they can be built by the millions at a reasonable cost and survive for years under the harshest of conditions they’re just another paper tiger.

6. Production **plans** aren’t a big step forward. Production would be.

7. Based on what I see daily, about actual built/installed/ running renewable technology, massive installations, China seems to be quite good at going rapidly from planning to production.

   Like the kilometre upon kilometre of solar panels and turbines in the high desert I read about today.

   Dismissing what they say they are doing seems unrealistic.

8. Everything I’m reading is saying that failure rate on solid state manufacturing is still incredibly high.  Every three months someone announces they’re a year away.

   There are hybrid solid state batteries being introduced, but I don’t think any company has cracked mass-production on solid states yet.  That’s from news as recent as last week.
