China EV battery installations reached a record 71.9 GWh in May 2026, up 25.9% YoY as LFP batteries claimed 81.2% market share. CATL leads with 46.14% domestic share while total production surged 55.2% to 191.7 GWh.
CATL's One-Shell-Two-Cells platform allows sodium and lithium cells in the same pack, delivering 15,000-cycle durability and reliable performance at -25 degrees Celsius.
Gotion says solid-state battery costs could approach about $0.14 per watt-hour as sulfide electrolyte scale, 400 Wh/kg cells, and pilot lines mature.
BYD pushed back after CATL argued premium EVs should use ternary batteries, framing the debate around LFP, flash charging, and whole-vehicle engineering.
CATL's new Shenxing battery and BYD's Super e-Platform show how LFP batteries are moving from low-cost chemistry into ultra-fast charging and mainstream premium EV use.
BYD's sulfide solid-state battery patent points toward 400 Wh/kg cells and 2027 pilot production, reinforcing China's next battery-technology push now.
