Solid-state batteries move from dream technology to reality as QuantumScape, Toyota, CATL jockey
Solid-state batteries, seen as a next-generation technology for electric vehicles and energy storage systems, are reigniting a commercialisation race. They replace liquid electrolytes with solid materials to cut fire risk and raise energy density, but face hurdles including dendrites, manufacturing defects and high costs. QuantumScape says it has secured key manufacturing technology. Toyota and CATL are also stepping up development, while some companies weigh aviation and defence as early markets.

Hanwha Power wins approval for 151 MWh battery ESS electric container ship design
Hanwha Power won approval from U.S. classification society ABS for the concept design of a 1,700-TEU battery-powered container ship, the company said on Thursday. The design applies a large-capacity 151 MWh battery energy storage system and uses container-type batteries to secure propulsion power. It is designed to operate without direct carbon emissions while sailing by linking with port charging infrastructure. Hanwha Power also plans to broaden its eco-friendly ship propulsion solution portfolio.

Tesla Megapack supply sold out through 2027, production ramp speeds up
Most of Tesla\'s 2027 supply of its large energy storage system Megapack has been taken up, as demand rises, driven mainly by growth in AI data centres. The International Energy Agency expects global data centre power use to nearly double by 2030. Tesla has started production at its Texas Megapack plant and is strengthening its U.S. battery sourcing by shipping its first Megapack made only with LFP cells produced in Nevada.
