GAC says its all-solid-state battery technology has moved from research into pilot production, and the company plans to introduce it in models from its premium Hyper brand in 2026. The automaker has been developing the technology since 2014; it reports energy density above 400 Wh/kg and says the cells could support electric vehicles with more than 1,000 km of range. That figure is a potential capability, not a confirmed range for a production model.
Unlike conventional batteries that use a liquid electrolyte, solid-state cells use a solid material. GAC says this design could allow more compact cell structures and the use of lithium-metal anodes, while raising energy density. The company also identifies improved safety as a development goal, alongside greater range.
For manufacturing, GAC has combined dry-electrode processing with thin-electrolyte transfer and in-situ interface fusion, which forms a transition layer where materials meet. The company estimates that, at scale, these processes could cut equipment investment by 15%, factory space requirements by 40% and production costs by more than 35%. GAC has not named a specific Hyper model for the planned 2026 debut.
