2025-06-20
BYD is testing solid-state batteries in its Seal EV, a Tesla Model 3 competitor. Initial tests show a potential range of nearly 1200 miles (1875 km). After over a decade of research, BYD announced road tests in 2025 and plans to begin production vehicles with solid-state batteries in 2027, aiming for mass production by 2030 at a cost comparable to current lithium-ion batteries. The Seal is expected to be the first model to feature this technology, boasting high energy density and fast charging capabilities, bolstering BYD's global EV market dominance.
