GWM's Svolt starts mass production of 100 kWh semi-solid battery with 6C charging

GWM’s Svolt began mass production of 100 kWh semi-solid batteries

GWM’s Svolt began mass production of 100 kWh semi-solid batteries, also called liquid-solid in China. Such a pack is built on the 900V high-voltage system, supporting 6C charging. This battery is capable of adding 500 km of range in 12 minutes of charging.

Svolt was formed by GWM back in 2012 as a subsidiary focused on EV battery production. It became independent in 2018. However, Svolt is still tightly connected to GWM, remaining its core supplier and strategic partner. On October 26, the company’s officials revealed that the first “Dragon Armor” hybrid semi-solid battery rolled off the production line in Changzhou. According to Svolt representatives, semi-solid packs with ternary chemistries are a “long-term technological path.”

There is currently no information about which vehicles will adopt the newly released battery. CarNewsChina expects the Wey V8X BEV to get this pack among the first vehicles. However, Svolt chairman and CEO Yang Hongxin said that more information about this battery will be revealed soon. He also added that this pack adopts a cell-level separator transfer-printing technology. It reportedly improves battery safety during fast charging. Thanks to the liquid cooling tech, this battery supports 6C charging, allowing it to add 500 km of range in 12 minutes.

A theoretical lifetime of this battery is over 1 million km, as it can achieve 3,000 charging cycles. At the same time, it adopts six layers of protection, reportedly offering impact protection three times the level of the Chinese governmental standard.

Svolt first revealed plans to mass-produce its semi-solid batteries in May 2026. However, it initially aimed to roll out the first batch in September. At the same time, Svolt officials highlighted that pure solid-state batteries are still distant from mass production. According to China EV DataTracker, Svolt’s battery installations from January to September 2026 reached 11.27 GWh (4.23 GWh LFP and 6.99 GWh ternary NMC). It currently holds 2% of the market share in China. The company aims to achieve a full-scale transition to hybrid solid-liquid technology for its ternary battery cells by the end of 2027, and plans to launch its third-generation hybrid solid-liquid technology in 2028
