Solid-state batteries: China accelerates, CATL and automakers adjust their strategies

The report is marked by the announcement of a solid-state battery claiming 1,500 km of range, road-tested, and by CATL's confirmed dominance of the global electric vehicle battery market. For all markets, solid-state and semi-solid-state batteries are presented as the next technological step for electric vehicles, with promises of range and cost. China concentrates industrial advances: GAC announces its first solid-state batteries, CATL targets a small series in 2027, BYD reaches full production of its Blade batteries and several automakers launch pilot production validations while seeking to reduce their dependence on CATL, without fully succeeding. In South Korea, the three battery manufacturers see their cumulative share decline against CATL; the Italian and Brazilian sections cover the file, but the provided sub-events do not detail their national specificities.
