CATL, the world’s largest EV battery manufacturer, is accelerating its all-solid-state battery project, expanding its R&D team by over 1,000 employees. Now in trial production, CATL’s advanced battery technology aims for commercial readiness by 2027, promising a 40% improvement in energy density.
CATL's Trial Production of High-Density Solid-State Batteries Sparks Optimism in EV Industry
The world’s largest EV battery manufacturer, CATL, is steadfast in developing all-solid-state batteries, which promise significantly higher energy density. According to a recent report from LatePost, CATL is making substantial investments in this next-generation battery technology, expanding its R&D workforce by over 1,000 employees this year alone to ensure accelerated progress.
According to Electrek, CATL has reportedly entered the trial production phase, working on 20 Ah samples of its all-solid-state battery. This marks a significant step as the company moves toward commercial readiness, with its solution offering an energy density of up to 500 Wh/kg for lithium ternary batteries—a 40% improvement over current technology. Despite this progress, the report notes that charging speed and cycle life require optimization before mass production. Still, the potential of all-solid-state batteries is a reason for optimism in the EV industry.
CATL Expands Workforce and Leads Global EV Battery Market in Race Toward Solid-State Innovation
The company now focuses on overcoming manufacturing hurdles, a task its growing workforce could significantly aid. With the addition of over 1,000 employees to its R&D team this year, CATL is demonstrating its commitment to innovation and progress. In April, CATL’s chief scientist, Wu Kai, revealed the creation of a 10 Ah verification platform for all-solid-state battery cells, stating that the company aims to begin small-volume production by 2027. CATL’s chairman, Robin Zeng, underscored the company's leading position in this technology during remarks in September.
The EV battery industry sees all-solid-state batteries as the future of high-performance electric vehicles, with companies like Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, and Stellantis also heavily invested in this technology. Data from CnEVPost shows CATL currently leads the global EV battery market with a 36.7% share as of September 2024, a testament to the company's impressive achievements. China’s BYD is in second place at 16.4% and has similarly ambitious plans for solid-state batteries, with its lead scientist, Lian Yubo, predicting widespread adoption within five years.
