Svolt Energy plans to start mass production of hybrid solid-liquid batteries by this September, with costs expected to match those of conventional lithium-ion batteries. The announcement was made by CEO Yang Hongxin, who also highlighted that the new batteries offer improved safety performance.
Yang Hongxin, Svolt’s chairman and CEO, revealed the plan in a video posted on Weibo adding that the company’s hybrid solid-liquid batteries offer significantly improved safety.
The commercialization of all-solid-state batteries still faces a very long road, and until that technology achieves large-scale mass production, hybrid solid-liquid batteries will serve as the mainstream route, Yang said.
2026 will be the inaugural year hybrid solid-liquid batteries are widely adopted, and the technology will see large-scale market rollout, he added.
Under the company’s plan, multiple vehicle models will be equipped with these new hybrid solid-liquid batteries by the end of September. By then, the 100 kWh battery version will also achieve large-scale mass production.
Hybrid solid-liquid batteries, previously known as semi-solid-state batteries, are now officially termed in China to distinguish them from fully solid-state technologies. This change aims to reduce confusion as the industry moves toward large-scale commercialization of next-generation battery solutions.
