Islamabad, Nov 20: Chery is establishing the world’s first GWh-level all-solid-state battery production line in Wuhu, Anhui Province, with equipment delivered to the site on November 18.
Covering 100,000 square meters, the project is part of a solid-state battery industrial park developed in collaboration with Anhui Anwa New Energy and the Wuhu Economic and Technological Development Zone.
The facility will feature a 5 GWh research and development center and an automated production line with a capacity of 1.25 GWh, marking the world’s first large-scale solid-state battery production line.
Solid-state batteries, known for their safety, environmental friendliness, and higher energy density compared to conventional batteries, will begin production with an energy density exceeding 280 Wh/kg.
By 2025, the second generation will surpass 400 Wh/kg, and the third generation, expected in 2027, will reach 500 Wh/kg.
Anwa has streamlined the manufacturing process, reducing production steps from 11 to 5, which cuts fixed costs by 30% and energy consumption by 20%, enhancing both efficiency and sustainability.
