Chinese Automaker Reveals Solid State Batteries that Charge at Over 1200kw
Well, if we didn’t already know what the future of electric cars was, we’d now know. Imagine having your next EV be able to charge in 5 minutes. 5 minutes using a 1,200 kW fast charger with a 1,200 volt architecture. Solid state batteries with an energy density of 500 W hours per kilogram and four inwheel hub motors. four little hub motors weighing about 5 to 7 kg each in each wheel providing more than 400 kW of total power. Now this sort of vision of the future these sort of EVs they are not just a little bit better than internal combustion cars they are in a different universe but they’re coming to this universe very very soon. In fact, one of the most prominent automakers in China has revealed the details on its future EV and it’s not that far away. Chinese car manufacturer Dongfang, guys, I actually bought one of their cars at auction a couple of years ago and one of you bought the car off me because I didn’t end up being able to I didn’t have a home to to use the battery for, which is what I intended to use it for. But anyway, Dongfang, they have already manufactured solid state batteries. They’ve already done 0.2 Gwatt hours. They say full production will begin on this particular date and from that point on you’ll be able to use well purchase these batteries from them. Here are the details on the energy density and the dates that um this major Chinese automaker is going to bring these batteries to market. Hello my friends, welcome to the channel. I’m Sam Evans. You’re watching the electric Viking Dongfang. They actually just announced two days ago the world’s first only mass production EV with four in-wheel motors. So, hub motors. Uh really, really, really interesting technology. It’s got a total of 400 kW. So, each individual inwheel motor has 100 kW. And they’re going to potentially pair that car by the end of next year with these new solid state batteries. Dongfang say they’ll begin mass production in September of 2026. I mean guys, that’s only 10 months away. Energy density will be 350 W hours per kilogram. Meaning the vehicles they put these batteries in, they say will have a range of up to 1,000 km, 600 miles. It’s not massive, but um it’s the next step and it’s coming very, very soon. The company’s established and put into operation a 0.2 gawatt pilot production line for solid state batteries. In a statement they released today they mentioned that the what basically what they’ved been doing at the 2025 world power battery conference held in Yin Sichuan starting yesterday. CV post says that Dongfing announced its next generation high energy density solstate batteries and its EV platform. And I for me what’s probably more exciting than the solstate batteries is its EV architecture. The fact that they’re matching these new batteries with a 1,00 volt platform. I mean 1000vt architecture where the solidstate batteries. It’s kind of awesome. Yeah. I mean imagine what’s possible with this kind of architecture. The company is developing solidstate batteries with energy density of 350 W hours per kilogram, 400 W hours per kilogram and 500 W hours per kilogram. But the 350Wh per kg v version uh will be able of producing they say enough power to provide EVs with 1,000 km of range. Imagine what the 500 watt hours could do. You might be looking at 1,500 km of range. there will be no reason whatsoever to want to purchase a an internal combustion car at that point in time. Currently, Dongfing is conducting research on sulfidebased solid state batteries. They say that the energy density of these sulfide based batteries will be 500 W hours per kilogram. And yeah, like I said, that’s going to give you up to 1,000 miles of range. Um, that’s pretty insane. To give you some context, energy density of today’s lithium phosphate batteries is approximately 170 W hours per kilogram depending on the brand. Some are a bit higher than that, some are a bit lower, but around about 170 175. So you’re looking at literally triple the energy density of today’s most common lithiumion phosphate batteries. For example, Banese blade batteries 165 W hours per kilogram. So it is actually triple the energy density of that battery. The batteries maintain over 72% energy retention say Dongfing at minus30° C outperforming the 60% level of conventional liquid turnary batteries said the company. So anyway, minus 30° they still retain 72% energy retention and that’s a big difference compared to today’s standard lithium batteries particularly lithiumion phosphate batteries which don’t handle the cold very well. Safety. So these batteries have passed a 170° thermal box safety test far exceeding the national standard requirement of 130°. I’m not sure why Dongfang did this. essentially a test you have to do. It’s 130 degrees test to see how the batteries will handle 130° C. Dongfang was like, “No, no, no. Let’s let’s turn it up and make it 170°.” Dongfang also showcased a 12,200 volt ultra high voltage pure electric platform at the event utilizing its in-house developed 1700vt silicon carbide power modules. So, they’re talking 1,000 volt architecture, but they’ve just revealed their new 1200vt architecture. They didn’t say anything about charging speed, but you’d imagine with a 1200vt platform, you’d be potentially capable of doing up to 1.3 megawatt charging, which is 1,300 kW charging. Probably charging the battery in approximately 5 to 7 minutes potentially. The platform though they said can achieve 2.5 km of range in 1 second of charge and 450 km in 5 minutes if you pair it with 12C battery cells and a 2 megawatt charger. So I’m not sure why they said a 2 mega charger. It’s like they’re implying that it potentially could charge at 2,000 kW. I doubt that’s the case, but that’s what they’re saying. They’re saying you could plug in a 2 megawatt charger. I mean, there’s very few 2 megawatt chargers even in China, but they will be probably more common over the next 5 to 10 years. Anyhow, the key point is this. That charging speed is actually 1,200 kW. If you look at the actual theoretical charging, it’s it’s approximately 1,200 kW charging speed, which is what J have with their new Zika 001 currently on the market. But anyway, 1,200vt architecture, solid state batteries. I mean, guys, isn’t it cool? This industry is so exciting. There’s so much happening here. And I know a lot of people going to struggle with this information. If you’re someone who struggles with stuff that’s new, um, a lot of people struggle with change. And I’m just I was saying to my boys the other day, what’s the one thing in life that never changes? That is that everything changes. You know, everything changes. And a lot of humans are really struggling with this. And that’s why there’s so much negativity on YouTube and on Facebook because so many people uh they just emotionally can’t handle change like this. So if you’re someone who can’t handle change and your first knee-jerk reaction to this kind of news, you know, this kind of charging speed and solid state batteries is negative, I suggest don’t watch these videos. I mean, it’s not good for you because you personally, you know, not everyone has the emotional maturity to handle this kind of change we’re going through right now, which is just crazy. There’s changes happening every day. So, people will say stuff like, “Oh, well, you just did a video last week that said there was another battery there. There can’t be new batteries every week, can there?” But yes, there are. I mean, there’s literally hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars being poured into this technology. Artificial intelligence is helping. We have some of the smartest minds in history working on these on these projects. And it’s not going to stay the same. Things won’t stay the same ever in this this sector. And if you’re one of those people who just freaks out because everything’s changing so fast and so you have to like emotionally react to that, I suggest you just don’t watch, you know, just maybe, I don’t know, like sit in a corner of a room and put a sheet over the top of you and, you know, pretend like everything’s going to stay the same. Thanks for watching.
