BYD has initiated pilot production of solid-state battery cells, a significant step towards mass production expected by 2027. These solid-state batteries (ASSB) are anticipated to offer improved safety, energy density, and faster charging times compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries. While BYD is making strides, some industry experts believe that widespread adoption may take longer, potentially pushing full market entry beyond 2030. Current advancements in semi-solid-state batteries show substantial capacity improvements, which may influence consumer expectations and industry standards during the transition period. However, skepticism remains as the actual production timelines and FYI improvements become critical points of consideration for the market.
