EV batteries: CATL dominates, China accelerates on solid-state

CATL strengthens its dominance of the global electric vehicle battery market, while the combined share of the three South Korean manufacturers declines. In China, automakers are multiplying announcements: GAC is targeting solid-state batteries before the end of the year, BYD plans a first model equipped in 2027 and CATL mentions a small series as early as 2027, while validations of semi-solid batteries in pilot production accelerate. This technological race is presented as the next step for electric vehicle range and cost. The detailed sub-events mainly concern China; South Korea is associated with the decline of its three manufacturers, while Italian and Brazilian coverage includes no detailed national position in the provided elements.
