A senior executive at Chongqing Changan Automobile Co. Ltd. has urged caution over the development of all-solid-state batteries, warning that the technology is unlikely to be ready for commercial use before 2030.
“There are still many unresolved problems with all-solid-state batteries,” said Deng Chenghao, vice president of Changan Auto and chairman of its electric-vehicle brand Deepal Auto, during the World Power Battery Conference on Tuesday. Deng cautioned that the industry's impatience could backfire, ultimately undermining sustainable, long-term development.
