Gotion HighTech LMFP Battery Volkswagen-Backed Gotion High-Tech to Begin Mass Production of LMFP Batteries in 2026 Gotion High-Tech, a Chinese battery manufacturer backed by Volkswagen, announced that it will begin mass production of next-generation LMFP (Lithium Manganese Iron Phosphate) batteries in 2026 — achieving an energy density of 260 Wh/kg, high enough to replace conventional nickel-based lithium-ion cells. World’s First Passenger Car-Grade LMFP Battery The LMFP chemistry is an upgraded version of LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate), which currently powers over 60% of EVs produced in China. Gotion’s LMFP batteries will be the first in the world to enter mass production for passenger vehicles, offering a major leap forward in both performance and cost-efficiency. Compared to standard LFP batteries, Gotion’s LMFP packs deliver 20% higher energy density, while production costs are only 5% higher. In contrast, the nickel-based lithium-ion batteries (NCM/NCA) used by companies such ...

Toyota and Sumitomo Develop Breakthrough Cathode for Next-Gen Batteries

Toyota to Launch World’s First Solid-State Battery EV by 2027 Toyota Motor Corporation has officially declared that it will launch the world’s first electric vehicle powered by solid-state batteries as early as 2027, signaling a major technological leap that could redefine the global EV industry. Partnership With Sumitomo Metal Mining for Breakthrough Cathode Material Toyota announced on October 10 that it has co-developed a durable cathode material for solid-state batteries with Sumitomo Metal Mining, aiming for commercial rollout between 2027 and 2028. While companies such as Samsung SDI and QuantumScape are also racing toward commercialization—Samsung SDI operating the world’s largest solid-state pilot line (“S-Line”) since 2023 with a 2027 target, and QuantumScape developing ceramic-based solid electrolytes for a 2026 debut—Toyota is the first automaker to commit to launching a production EV equipped with solid-state batteries. Overcoming Durability and Efficiency Challenges ...
