A revolutionary development has occurred in the automotive world. Chinese manufacturer MG has begun deliveries of the world’s first mass-produced MG4 with a semi-solid-state battery. This new technology aims to redefine safety and efficiency standards in electric vehicles.

What Does the Semi-Solid-State Battery MG4 Offer?

Developed by SAIC MG, the new MG4 has been launched in five different trim levels. The most notable version is the “Secure” trim, which features a semi-solid-state battery. In China, this special version is priced at $14,500, while the starting price for the model is around $9,800. This competitive pricing positions the MG4 as a strong contender in the global market.

The semi-solid-state battery Secure version is equipped with a 53.95 kWh battery and offers a range of 530 kilometers according to CLTC measurements. Other versions use lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries with capacities of 42.8 kWh and 53.95 kWh. All MG4 models feature an electric motor producing 120 kW of power and 250 Nm of torque. Furthermore, thanks to DC fast charging support, charging the battery from 30% to 80% takes only 20 minutes.

SAIC MG emphasizes that the biggest advantage of the semi-solid-state battery is safety. According to the company, the liquid electrolyte ratio in the battery has been reduced to 5%. This significantly reduces the risk of combustion and explosion compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries. In rigorous puncture tests, the battery proved to remain smoke-free, flammable, and non-explosive for two hours. This result demonstrates a safety level far exceeding industry standards.

In addition to its safety features, the MG4 also stands out with its technologically advanced interior. The intelligent cockpit system is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 processor. Higher trim levels feature a massive 15.6-inch multimedia screen with 2.5K resolution.
