EV Solid-State Battery Validation Accelerates in the U.S. and Europe, Mass Production Expected to Gradually Begin by 2026


TrendForce’s latest research reveals that solid-state batteries are emerging as the next-generation battery technology with high commercial potential. Manufacturers across the U.S., Europe, and other global markets are accelerating large-scale production development and performance validation for automotive applications.

In the mid-2010s, French company Blue Solutions was the first in Europe to commercialize polymer-based solid-state batteries, primarily for electric buses and port delivery vehicles rather than passenger cars. TrendForce highlights that solid-state batteries offer superior safety and higher energy density, with U.S. and European manufacturers focusing on polymer-based or oxide-based solid electrolytes as their core technologies. As a result, semi-solid or quasi-solid-state battery solutions, which contain a small amount of liquid electrolyte, will serve as interim options for U.S. and European automakers in the short term.
