Sichuan production base. Meanwhile, Chery has achieved an energy density of 400Wh/kg for its solid-state battery cells, with a target of reaching 600Wh/kg and a driving range of over 1,500 km.

On the evening of March 18, Chery Automobile held its 2026 Battery Night in Wuhu, Anhui Province.

“We are challenging the on-board validation of all-solid-state batteries by 2027,” said Gu Chunshan, Vice President of Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. Within two years, Chery’s dedicated solid-state battery team will exceed 1,200 members, with more than 90% holding master’s or doctoral degrees. Total dedicated R&D investment will surpass ¥10 billion, with unlimited future funding for all-solid-state batteries. Chery aims to build top-tier laboratories and pilot lines, state-of-the-art production equipment, and a comprehensive ecological alliance.

Continuous R&D has delivered critical technological breakthroughs. Chery’s solid-state battery cells have reached an energy density of 400Wh/kg and are progressing toward 600Wh/kg, supporting a driving range of over 1,500 km.

In terms of materials, Chery’s all-solid-state batteries integrate advanced technologies including electrolyte lattice anchoring, cathode shielding, and anode stress relief, balancing performance and safety.In manufacturing, Chery has adopted ultra-thin coating, warm isostatic pressing, and integrated formation technologies, enabling resistance to ultra-high pressure of over 600MPa and full-process intelligent automatic control.Supported by AI, Chery’s all-solid-state battery development has completed over one million design iterations and optimized more than 100 key global indicators.

On March 18, Chery also released its first annual financial report since going public.In 2025, Chery’s sales of self-owned passenger vehicles reached 2.6314 million units, up 14.6% year-on-year; sales of new energy self-owned passenger vehicles hit 826,500 units, surging 72.5% year-on-year.

Chery’s total revenue in 2025 reached ¥300.287 billion, rising 11.3% year-on-year and exceeding ¥300 billion for the first time. Net profit amounted to ¥19.507 billion, up 36.1% year-on-year — significantly outpacing sales growth. Net profit margin rose from 5.3% to 6.5%, reflecting strengthening profitability. New energy revenue reached ¥98.023 billion, up 66.3% year-on-year, while new energy vehicle exports grew by more than 500% year-on-year, becoming a new growth driver.

Benefiting from economies of scale and core technological empowerment, Chery’s gross profit margin for new energy vehicles rose to 8.8% in 2025, marking a shift from scale expansion to profit growth. The company maintains a diversified powertrain strategy covering hybrid, extended-range, pure electric, and hydrogen fuel technologies. More than 90% of newly launched models are new energy vehicles, covering the mainstream market priced from ¥100,000 to ¥400,000.
