Farasis Energy Secures Key Orders for Semi-Solid Batteries, Reveals Solid-State Battery Plan

Farasis Energy announced on August 8 that its semi-solid-state batteries have gained recognition from multiple clients and achieved mass production. Key customers include GAC, Dongfeng, Sany, FAW Jiefang, a leading U.S. eVTOL manufacturer, a top Chinese flying car developer, Shanghai Shidai, and Geely's Volocopter.

The company emphasized the cost-effectiveness of its semi-solid batteries, with production costs only 5%-10% higher than traditional liquid batteries. Current GWh-level shipments are being produced on flexible production lines at Farasis' Ganzhou, Guangzhou, and Zhenjiang facilities. Once the Ganzhou and Guangzhou bases reach full operation, dedicated semi-solid battery production capacity will reach 54GWh. Farasis plans to mass-produce its second-generation semi-solid batteries for major automakers in 2025, followed by third-generation (400Wh/kg) deployment in 2026.

Meanwhile, Farasis is advancing its "produce-develop-reserve" strategy for all-solid-state batteries. The roadmap includes:

· 2025: First-generation sulfide all-solid-state batteries (high-nickel ternary cathode + high-silicon anode, 400Wh/kg)

· 2026: Second-generation (lithium-rich manganese-based/high-nickel cathode + lithium metal anode, 500Wh/kg)

· 2027: Third-generation sulfide batteries exceeding 500Wh/kg
