Xiaomi YU7 buyers will have to wait an entire year (53-56 weeks)​

In just 3 minutes, Xiaomi’s second EV received 200,000 pre-orders, of which 120,000 were confirmed by the company’s CEO Lei Jun to be locked-in orders (with non-refundable deposits).

57 minutes later, or at the full hour after debut, the YU7 received 289,000 pre-orders, which nearly matched Xiaomi’s current annual production capacity for its two vehicle models.

Xiaomi now confirmed that the company has reached 240,000 locked-in orders at the 18th hour mark from pre-order launch.

Sany electric heavy trucks break export record

global.chinadaily.com.cn

Single export batch exceeds China’s entire 2025 new-energy tractor-truck exports as SANY expands into Germany, Australia and Türkiye

• SANY has exported 883 battery-electric heavy-duty trucks in a single shipment from Guangzhou Port, setting a Chinese record for a one-off export of new-energy tractor trucks.
• The order is significant because China exported only 877 new-energy tractor trucks during all of 2025, while SANY is simultaneously moving into new markets including Germany and Australia.

China’s electric-truck industry has reached a new scale with SANY shipping 883 battery-electric heavy-duty trucks overseas in a single order — more vehicles than the entire Chinese new-energy tractor-truck industry exported during 2025.

The trucks cleared Guangzhou Port’s Xinsha area on June 29 after travelling from SANY’s manufacturing base in Changsha. Chinese authorities describe the shipment as the country’s largest-ever single export batch of new-energy tractor trucks.

Global sales of zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles (ZE-MHDV) reached over 520,000 units in 2025, with China accounting for about 88 percent of the sales, according to a report released on Thursday by the research organization International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT).

Excluding China, global ZE-MHDV sales reached approximately 63,000 units in 2025, led by the US, the EU, and India, according to the report.

The composition of global ZE-MHDV sales shifted from buses to trucks between 2020 and 2025, driven largely by rapid growth in China's green truck segment.

China Leads First Global Solid-State Battery Standard Project Approved by IEC | ChinaEVHome

China has initiated the world's first international standard for solid-state batteries, enhancing global collaboration and outlining guidelines for the electric vehicle industry.

China Leads First Global Solid-State Battery Standard Project Approved by IEC​

2026-08-21

• China-led IEC project creates first global standard for solid-state EV batteries, unifying tests and guidelines.
• CATL, BYD and major Chinese automakers push prototypes and pilot production with commercialization targets around 2027–2030.
• Chinese tax incentives and policy support aim to accelerate investment as global solid-state shipments forecast to explode by 2030.

China has taken the lead in developing the world’s first international standard project for solid-state batteries, according to a statement from the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) on Aug. 21.

The international standard proposal titled “Application Guidelines, Test Items and Conditions for Solid-State Batteries Used in Electric Vehicle Traction Applications” has been officially approved as a project by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

Solid-state battery approval statement by SAMR

The project represents the first global international standard initiative focused on solid-state batteries.

It was proposed by China, with experts from France, South Korea, Japan and other countries participating in the drafting process.

The future standard will establish unified guidelines covering solid-state battery application scenarios, testing procedures and evaluation criteria.

This provides a reference framework for global automakers and battery manufacturers during the development and validation of solid-state battery technologies.

Solid-state batteries are widely considered one of the key directions for next-generation power battery technology.

Compared with today’s mainstream liquid electrolyte lithium-ion batteries, solid-state batteries replace liquid electrolytes with solid electrolytes, offering potential advantages in safety, energy density and high-temperature stability.

CATL’s solid-state battery

However, challenges remain in materials, manufacturing processes and cost control, meaning solid-state batteries still require further validation before large-scale commercialization.

Across the industry, Chinese automakers and battery companies are accelerating research and commercialization efforts for solid-state battery technologies.

CATL is currently focusing on the sulfide-based all-solid-state battery route. Its laboratory-stage prototype cells have achieved an energy density exceeding 500 Wh/kg.

The company plans to begin small-scale pilot production in 2027, with large-scale vehicle deployment expected to gradually advance after 2030.

In August, BYD disclosed six solid-state battery-related patents and plans to conduct small-volume vehicle testing in 2027, with the goal of achieving mass commercialization around 2030.

BYD’s solid-state battery

Dongfeng Motor has already completed a 0.2 GWh pilot production line for solid-state batteries and plans to begin vehicle production applications in the fourth quarter of this year.

The company targets deliveries of 50,000 vehicles equipped with its self-developed solid-state batteries by 2027.

FAW Hongqi, together with industry partners, completed a prototype vehicle equipped with an all-solid-state battery pack in January this year and plans to begin mass production deployment by the end of 2027.

In July, China’s Ministry of Finance and other government departments introduced adjustments to battery-related tax policies.

While consumption taxes on lithium batteries will resume, sodium-ion batteries, solid-state batteries and other emerging battery technologies will remain exempt from taxation.

The policy adjustment signals continued support for the development of next-generation battery technologies and could encourage companies to increase investment in solid-state battery research.

Although solid-state battery commercialization remains at an early stage, market growth expectations remain strong.

EVTank forecasts that global solid-state battery shipments will reach 607.2 GWh by 2030, representing a compound annual growth rate of more than 130%.

Geely Is Testing A Solid-State Battery With Over 621 Miles Of Range. It Could End Up In A Volvo​

Geely's claimed battery specs are indeed impressive. The automaker says that it managed to achieve a density of 500 Wh/kg, which is about twice as dense as its current "Golden Brick" batteries at the cell-level. Range is equally as impressive. Geely claims that it's targeting range that would rival diesel-powered cars. That means over 621 miles (1,000 kilometers) on a single charge. Plus, according to Geely, the battery is engineered to have a lifespan of more than 600,000 miles.
