Chinese automaker-backed firm unveils solid-state batteries with 136 Wh/lb energy density

The Anhui Anwa New Energy Technology, a company backed and partly owned by Chinese automaker Chery, has unveiled its first batch of solid-state battery samples in China. Established in June 2020, Anwa's equity share includes Chery New Energy, which holds a 9.89% stake and battery giant Gotion High-Tech which has a stake of 5.89%. On Friday, Anwa declared that its first batch of solid-state battery samples had completed production at its factory in China's Wuhu Economic and Technological Development Zone. As per domestic media reports, these engineering samples meet the new 'No Fire No Explosion' safety standard. While these first-generation solid-state cells offer an energy density of 136 watt-hours per pound, the company plans to scale up to gigawatt-hour-level production of next-generation batteries. In October 2024, Chery Group had revealed plans to launch solid-state battery production, an announcement which is now being seen to align with the initial packs having successfully rolled off Anwa's assembly line. Anwa's plant uses a fully integrated production line that combines eight processes, including automatic coating of positive and negative electrodes, electrode diaphragm compositing, and dynamic heat sealing. The line is over 115 feet long and operates at a speed of about 66 feet per minute. Its planned annual production capacity is 1.25 GWh. Laser slitting technology is used to reduce dust pollution. To improve efficiency and reduce costs, Anwa has introduced a five-step dry manufacturing process that lowers energy consumption by 20% and reduces fixed asset investment by 30%. This streamlined production method not only helps minimize environmental impact but also makes battery manufacturing more sustainable and cost-effective. Furthermore, the company plans to expand its facilities by establishing a 5 GWh solid-state battery research and development center at the site. Alongside this, Anwa will build a fully integrated automated production line to support large-scale manufacturing and accelerate innovation in solid-state battery technology. Having achieved an energy density of about 136 watt-hours per pound through its first-generation solid-state batteries, Anwa has already started trial production of second-generation battery packs which are expected to deliver an energy density of approximately 181 watt-hours per pound—marking a significant improvement over previous the model. By 2027, Anwa aims to begin mass production of its third-generation solid-state batteries, targeting an energy density of approximately 227 watt-hours per pound. This advancement signals a crucial step forward in battery technology, promising higher capacity and longer driving ranges for electric vehicles, while potentially lowering production costs. If successfully commercialized, the breakthrough could transform the EV market by enhancing vehicle performance and accelerating the shift toward cleaner transportation. Although no official announcements have been made about specific models equipped with these batteries, Chery's Exeed Exlantix ET electric crossover was recently spotted featuring 'All-solid-state battery' branding, suggesting it may be among the first to adopt Anwa's cutting-edge technology.

EXCLUSIVE China's largest car exporter Chery is coming to the UK this summer - and its first SUV will be unveiled this week

China's largest car export is coming to the UK as its own brand, This is Money can exclusively reveal. This summer Chery International will enter the British car market under its own name as it continues its rampant expansion, after already launching its Omoda/Jaecoo sub-brands in the last year. Chery's first step of its ambitious plans includes launching two SUVs, which the Chinese car maker promise will be optimised for the local market in specification and pricing. Both will be on sale in the coming months through a UK-wide dealer network, and the first model will be unveiled at the Goodwood Festival of Speed later this week on the first glance stand. Chery UK Country Director, Farrell Hsu, says that Chery is 'recognised globally' for 'quality at a cost-effective' price so while we don't know the cost of the two SUVs yet, they will likely cost around the same as the Jaecoo and Omoda SUVs already on offer. In China, Chery has sold its Tiggo crossover SUV series since 2005. It launched with the Tiggo 3, and currently offers iterations of the 2, 4, 7, 8 and 9 to customers, covering everything from sub compact SUVs to seven-seater flagship SUVs. The Wuhu brand's global SUVs have three million drivers across 80 countries. It says it 'makes advanced features accessible to everyday families and urban explorers alike'. Speaking about Chery's stepping out under its own name, UK chief executive Gary Lan, who leads both Omodo and Jaecoo - and now Chery UK - said: 'Chery's introduction to the UK market this summer not only shows Chery's commitment to growth, but also reflects our confidence in the UK automotive sector, and the appeal of our vehicles to local buyers. 'Expect the same innovation, style, technology focus, and exceptional value.' Since Chery launched its Omoda and Jaecoo brands in August 2024 and January 2025, the sister companies have already gone on to have a combined market share of 2 per cent in just under a year. Both brands have quickly become known for offering cheap SUV alternatives to much more expensive European names including Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Volvo, while still delivering an impressive amount of tech, safety features, comfort and mpg for the low prices. In particular, both have caused a stir with their plug-in hybrid SUVs that have ranges of over 700 miles, thanks to their 'Super Hybrid System' which combine a 1.5-litre petrol engine with an EV battery. This is Money reviewed Jaecoo 7 SHS with its 745-mile combined range and 56-mile EV range back in March, and the flagship Omoda 9 SHS with its 700-mile combined range and class-leading 93-mile EV range last month. Both times we concluded that it would be silly for UK drivers to turn their noses up at these cheap offerings when motoring has never been more expensive and you'd struggle to find a European manufacturer offering you the same 'premium without the price premium'. Country Director Hsu said: 'We've been working behind the scenes, learning from our experience with other Chery International-derived brands in the UK, and have taken this time to refine and refresh our approach to this important market. 'We look forward to sharing more details on Chery's UK introduction soon.' Chery Automotive - a brief overview Chery is a rare one among the Chinese brands sweeping up on British shores because it started life as an automotive maker and not a tech company - or in the case of Geely a refrigerator producer. It was founded in 1996 by a group of government officials who realised that establishing an automotive company would reduced poverty in Anhui and drive wider economic development. The first Chery car launched in 1999 and mass production came a year later. It became the first passenger car company in China to export complete vehicles and as of 2024 it sold more cars last year than BMW: Chery shifted a whopping 2.6million units in 2024 - a 38.4 per cent increase on 2023. In recent years Chery's become synonymous with making intelligent, stylish and capable SUVs for drivers around the world.
