Solid-state battery price to break key 'one yuan' barrier with new Gemstone cell notebookcheck.net

Volkswagen-backed Gotion announced plans to mass-produce solid-state batteries with its sulfide-based Gemstone cells targeting over 400 Wh/kg energy density and a cost of approximately $150/kWh (1 yuan per Wh), breaking a key cost barrier for the technology for the first time. The company has completed the design for a 2 GWh pilot production line and demonstrated that cells passed puncture and high-temperature safety tests. While this price is double that of current LFP batteries in China, Gotion's solid-state cells would offer roughly twice the energy density, positioning them as a premium yet commercially viable option for higher-end electric vehicles.
