China’s 2026–2030 battery plan targets the initial large-scale application of all-solid-state batteries by 2030. CATL, meanwhile, has described small-batch production around 2027 as a target and warned that moving to mass production requires more than technical progress. Those milestones do not guarantee that solid-state batteries will be cheap or common in new cars by 2030.
What China’s 2030 target does—and does not—promise
China’s government plan sets a goal of initial large-scale application of all-solid-state batteries by 2030. That is a policy target, not proof that the industry will meet it on schedule. Nor does “initial large-scale application” mean most new cars will use the technology, or that the batteries will be affordable to ordinary buyers.
The distinction matters because “solid-state battery” can describe development at very different stages. Laboratory progress, a small production batch, the first industrial-scale applications and widespread use across millions of vehicles are separate milestones. A plan aimed at the third stage does not establish that the fourth is within reach.
The target appears in China’s 2026–2030 plan for the new-type battery industry. A CnEVPost summary of the plan also describes its all-solid-state ambition.

CATL’s timeline: small batches first, mass production later
CATL’s reported milestones are not a promise of mass-market vehicles on the same timetable. In 2025, the company said it anticipated small-scale production by 2027 and denied reports that it had announced a 2,000-kilometre-range solid-state battery to be mass-produced that year. The same report said CATL’s earlier plan pointed to mass production and large-scale application from 2030.
Earlier company comments, recounted by CnEVPost in 2026, described an aim to reach development level 7–8 by 2027, enabling small-batch production, while noting that large-scale production would still face cost issues. In June 2026, CATL chairman Robin Zeng said the technology remained a long way from large-scale production. A separate comment reported by CnEVPost characterized millions of vehicles using solid-state batteries before 2030 as unlikely.

| Milestone | What has been reported | What it does not establish |
|---|---|---|
| 2027: small-scale production | CATL anticipated small-scale production; an earlier company roadmap, as later reported, aimed for development level 7–8 and small-batch production. | Mass production, low costs or broad availability in consumer vehicles. |
| From 2030: mass production or large-scale application | CATL’s earlier plan was reported as pointing to mass production and large-scale application from 2030; China’s government plan targets initial large-scale application by 2030. | A guarantee that either target will be achieved on time, or that millions of cars will use the batteries. |
The company milestones and policy goal have different scopes: one describes CATL’s development outlook, the other a national industrial ambition. Both also distinguish small-batch output from larger-scale deployment. The timeline details and Zeng’s comments were reported by CnEVPost on June 24, 2026; the 2025 clarification and denial were reported by CarNewsChina.
Why turning a working battery into a product is difficult
Zeng’s central point is that manufacturing readiness is not the same as technical progress: “Mass production depends not only on the technology path but also on the product path and the commercial path.” CnEVPost attributed the statement to Zeng at the 2026 Summer Davos forum.

Technology: make the cell work consistently
China’s plan identifies several technical and process challenges: improving ionic conductivity and cycling stability, maintaining contact at interfaces within the cell, and engineering systems that apply the required pressure. The plan also calls for development of equipment such as isostatic presses. These are manufacturing problems as well as materials-science problems: a design must be made reproducibly, not merely demonstrated.
Product: meet reliability, safety and supply needs
A battery intended for vehicles must be reliable and safe in a finished product, and manufacturers need enough suitable cells to supply that product. The available policy and company reporting identifies those requirements but does not provide a verified production-yield curve or a full unit-cost comparison. A technology milestone alone therefore cannot show how many qualified batteries CATL can make or what they will cost.

Commercial: make the economics work
Large-scale production also depends on costs and whether customers and vehicle makers will accept the product. CATL’s reported comments distinguish this commercial path from the technology path; the company has not thereby established that solid-state batteries will be inexpensive or sold in high volumes by a particular date.
A review on the Chinese Academy of Engineering’s journal platform describes China’s solid-state battery field as being in a promotion stage and identifies challenges in key raw materials, scientific and technological bottlenecks, mass production and industrial application. The review provides broader context for why scale-up is not a single laboratory breakthrough: Research on the key material system development of solid-state batteries.

China’s battery-industry growth is not a solid-state sales figure
Xinhua reported that the output value of China’s broad new-type battery industry exceeded 1 trillion yuan during 2021–2025. The figure indicates the scale of that wider industry; it does not isolate all-solid-state battery revenue, sales or production. It should not be read as evidence that solid-state cells are already being made at comparable scale.
