SAIC's MG4 EV with Semi-Solid-State Battery Hits 100,000 Production Milestone in China
SAIC Motor has announced that its new MG4 electric vehicle, marketed as the world’s first mass-produced EV featuring a semi-solid-state battery, has reached a significant production milestone. Just eight months after its launch at the Chengdu Auto Show, the 100,000th unit rolled off the assembly line, setting a record for the fastest-selling pure electric hatchback in its class. The vehicle has consistently ranked among the top three sellers, with monthly sales exceeding 10,000 units and peaking at over 13,000 in April 2026. Priced starting at approximately $10,000 for standard lithium iron phosphate models and $14,500 for the semi-solid-state variant, the MG4 offers ranges between 437 km and 530 km. SAIC highlights the enhanced safety of the semi-solid-state battery, which reduces liquid electrolyte content to 5% and successfully passed rigorous needle penetration tests without combustion. This success marks a crucial comeback for SAIC in the competitive Chinese market, prompting the company to open pre-orders for a new SUV variant, the MG 4X, also equipped with semi-solid-state technology.
