Volkswagen-backed Gotion High-Tech announced that design work for its first 2GWh all-solid-state battery mass-production line is substantially complete. The announcement, made via the company’s investor interaction platform, marks the transition from pilot-scale validation to industrial-scale planning for its “Jinshi” battery technology, according to IT-home.
This follows CarNewsChina’s October 2025 report on Gotion’s disclosure that it had finalised its 0.2 GWh pilot line and initiated the design process for a 2 GWh capacity line.
Technical Specifications
The Jinshi battery utilises a sulfide-based solid electrolyte and achieves a cell-level energy density of 350 Wh/kg. This represents a 40% increase over mainstream ternary lithium-ion cells. According to technical briefings from Gotion’s 2025 Global Technology Conference, the battery offers a 1,000 km range per charge and maintains stable operation over a temperature range of -40°C to 80°C.
Gotion reported that its existing 0.2GWh pilot line has reached a 90% yield rate. The facility features 100% domestically sourced core equipment and 100% in-house developed line architecture. In safety trials, the all-solid-state cells passed 200°C thermal chamber tests and 3mm steel needle penetration without ignition or explosion.
Market Context and Quantification
Gotion High-Tech ranked fifth globally in power battery installations in 2025, installing 53.5 GWh and achieving a 4.5% market share. This reflects an 82.5% year-on-year increase in installed capacity. In the Chinese domestic market, the company held a 5% market share in 2024.
By comparison, CATL has disclosed plans to begin small-scale production of all-solid-state batteries in 2027. Gotion’s 2GWh line design follows the 2025 launch of its “G-Yuan” semi-solid-state battery, which offers an energy density of 300 Wh/kg. Gotion has confirmed a planned 12GWh production capacity for the semi-solid-state G-Yuan line to bridge the gap toward full solid-state commercialisation.
Market Positioning
Gotion is 25% owned by Volkswagen, and the company has secured letters of intent for solid-state supply from Volkswagen and Audi. The company targets small-batch vehicle integration by the end of 2026, with full-scale mass production scheduled for 2030.
The total investment for the 2GWh facility is estimated at 3-4 billion yuan (414-552 million USD), based on industry costs of 1.5–2 billion yuan per GWh for advanced battery lines. Gotion’s global manufacturing footprint currently includes planned overseas capacity exceeding 100 GWh across Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia.
