Chinese electric vehicle startup Hyper intends to switch to solid-state batteries by 2026. The results of the recently completed tests are impressive. With an energy density of 400 watt-hours per kilogram, the solid-state batteries promise a real 1,000 km range on a single charge.
And this is not the only advantage of the new technology. Solid-state batteries offer improved safety, longer life and faster charging times than liquid lithium-ion batteries. The Hyper brand is part of the GAC Group, China's second largest electric vehicle manufacturer after BYD.
Incidentally, we note that another Chinese company, SAIC Motor, has announced that it also plans to install solid-state batteries on its premium EV models as early as this year. so the race for electric vehicles with solid-state batteries is just beginning.
