MG is launching its first PHEV with semi-solid-state batteries in 2027
I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.MG plans to launch its first plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) equipped with semi-solid-state batteries, the MG ZS PHEV, in 2027. This follows MG's earlier achievement as the first automaker to mass-produce such batteries for EVs like the MG4. The company intends to introduce this technology to three new PHEV SUVs, expanding beyond its current all-electric lineup.
MG’s semi-solid-state batteries will not be exclusive to EVs, with plans to launch three new plug-in hybrid SUVs equipped with the new battery tech. First up will be the MG ZS PHEV, set to go on sale in 2027.
MG plans for PHEVs with semi-solid-state batteries
Earlier this year, MG claimed it had become the first automaker globally to mass-produce semi-solid-state batteries.
After the new MG4 went on sale in China last year as the industry’s first mass-produced EV with a semi-solid-state battery, MG said it would bring the new battery tech to Europe by the end of 2026, starting with the all-electric MG4 Urban.
While the company plans to introduce the new battery tech in additional EVs, including the MG 4X SUV, MG confirmed it will also be used in upcoming plug-in hybrids (PHEVs).
