CATL Chairman Outlines Timeline for Solid-State Battery Commercialization, Indicates Development Phase Not Yet Past Midpoint

Deep News06-23 17:33

At the 2026 World Economic Forum Annual Meeting of the New Champions, also known as the Summer Davos Forum in Dalian, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co.,Ltd. (CATL) Chairman Robin Zeng discussed the development timeline for solid-state batteries.

During a forum session, Zeng stated that if the technological pathway for solid-state batteries is rated on a scale from level 1 to level 9, the current progress is only at level 4. He indicated that reaching level 9 would signify readiness for mass production.

Zeng elaborated that the journey involves three key routes. The first is the technological route itself. The second is the product route, which encompasses supply chain sufficiency and whether the final product can meet required standards for reliability and safety. The third is the commercial route, focusing on market acceptance and the potential for high sales volume.
