Development Trends of New Energy Vehicle Batteries


2025-02-11

The development trends of new energy vehicle batteries mainly include technological advancements, market applications, and policy support.
Technological advancements
Solid-state batteries: Solid-state batteries use solid electrolytes, offering advantages such as high energy density, long lifespan, and better safety. Although the manufacturing costs are currently high and the technology is not yet mature, its research and development have become a hotspot in the global new energy vehicle industry, with many companies and research institutions actively investing.
Sodium-ion batteries: Sodium-ion batteries are considered an important development direction for future new energy vehicle batteries due to their abundant resources, low cost, and good safety.
Market applications
Pure electric vehicles will continue to dominate, while plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and range-extended electric vehicles are also rapidly emerging. By 2025, the sales of plug-in hybrids and range-extended electric vehicles are expected to exceed 8 million units, accounting for nearly 50% of total new energy vehicle sales.
The commercial vehicle market will also experience rapid development, especially for new energy commercial vehicles in short-distance and closed scenarios, such as new energy heavy trucks, which are expected to achieve rapid market growth.
Policy support
Policy support and technological innovation have played a significant role in promoting industry development. For example, domestic companies have a leading advantage in semi-solid battery technology, and the scale of installation is expected to gradually increase by 2025.
Governments and enterprises are increasing their investment in the construction of charging facilities while reducing production costs through technological innovation to improve the cost-performance ratio of products.
