MG’s semi-solid-state batteries will not be exclusive to EVs, with plans to launch three new plug-in hybrid SUVs equipped with the new battery tech. First up will be the MG ZS PHEV, set to go on sale in 2027.
Companies are continuously seeking to improve electric vehicle range and charging efficiency, making advanced battery technology a key competitive differentiator in the rapidly evolving EV market.
The introduction of semi-solid-state batteries in production vehicles signifies a tangible step forward in battery technology, which could influence consumer adoption and market dynamics for electric and hybrid vehicles.
This move by MG demonstrates a commitment to more advanced, potentially higher-performance battery chemistries moving from R&D to commercial application within the next few years.
