Cheap Chinese brand will make super batteries for electric cars by 2025

Chinese MG will, according to the boss' statement, already send out super batteries for electric cars – the so-called solid state batteries – as early as 2025.

Toyota has been clamoring for it for ages. Now it seems that the cheap Chinese brand, MG, is getting ahead of the Japanese when it comes to the so-called solid state batteries for electric cars.

At least that's what the head of MG's Chinese parent Shanghai Automotive Industry Company (SAIC), Yu Jingmin, was told at an auto show in Chengdu, China.

That's what Autocar writes.

Yu Jingmin will not reveal which MG will get the first solid state battery from the SAIC group. But he came to promise that the car is already in Europe at the end of 2025.

The reason for the much – and prolonged – hype about solid state batteries is the technology's alleged much greater efficiency and cheaper manufacturing. That is, when compared with the lithium-ion technology, which is currently by far the most widespread in electric cars.

Outside of MG, SAIC claims to be working on an arch-rival to the Tesla Model 3 called the IM L6. That car also gets solid state batteries, the Chinese say. And not only that.

The car will be able to be charged in 12 minutes and have a range of 400 kilometers. The batteries that the so far secret MG gets are of the same type.

The question then is how cheap the new MG will actually be in Europe. The EU has – although the rates have generally been adjusted several times – hit the car brand with the very highest penalty tariffs.

Something that has recently been introduced because the EU believes that the communist regime in China illegally distributes state subsidies to the car industry. Read more about it here . For the same reason, Nissan's bid for solid state batteries, which the Japanese believe will be a thing in 2028, immediately seems more realistic.
