CATL chairman Robin Zeng rates the technology only four out of nine on a production-readiness scale and calls million-vehicle adoption before 2030 very unlikely, though CATL plans limited production in 2027. Meanwhile ProLogium's Dunkirk plant in France, the largest new European cell project since Northvolt's bankruptcy, broke ground in February and is staged at 0.8 GWh by 2028 and 12 GWh by 2032, with its cells certified against China's new GB/T 43568-2026 standard. LG Energy Solution expects the technology to reach smartphones a decade before EVs. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What score does CATL give solid-state battery technology on its production readiness scale? CATL chairman Robin Zeng rated all-solid-state battery technology four out of nine in June, on a scale where nine means ready for vehicle production. He said the chance of fitting it to a million cars before 2030 is very small, though CATL intends limited production in 2027. _Anyone tracking battery supply chains for EV sourcing decisions can follow updates like this on daily.dev._ ### When is China targeting large-scale use of solid-state batteries? China's industry ministry and six other agencies set 2030 as the date for first large-scale use of all-solid-state batteries, in a plan issued on 28 September covering 2026 to 2030. The plan also targets lithium cells good for 15,000 charge cycles and acknowledges existing weaknesses in innovation and supply-demand imbalances. _Engineers planning around battery roadmaps can keep an eye on policy shifts like this via daily.dev._ ### What energy density has ProLogium achieved with its solid-state battery cells in France? ProLogium's cells measure 381 Wh/kg as verified by TUV Rheinland, roughly 30% above the cells used in most electric cars today. The company already produces 6,000 packs a year (half a gigawatt hour) in Taiwan and is building a plant in Dunkirk, France, staged at 0.8 GWh by 2028 and 12 GWh by 2032, certified against China's GB/T 43568-2026 standard. _Teams evaluating battery suppliers for next-gen EV designs can track capacity milestones like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [The company that just opened America’s newest battery plant says solid-state cars are a decade away](https://daily.dev/posts/the-company-that-just-opened-america-s-newest-battery-plant-says-solid-state-cars-are-a-decade-away-hqbzaqe5a) · The Next Web · 30 upvotes · 2 comments - [What’s next for EV batteries in 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/what-s-next-for-ev-batteries-in-2026-k109pextq) · MIT Technology Review · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Solid-state batteries just went into mass production.
