MG semi solid-state EV batteries to rollout by end of 2026

MG is making some interesting developments regarding its electric vehicle and hybrid technologies.

Building on over a century of British heritage in engineering innovation, MG will soon introduce its new SolidCore Battery - the brand's semi solid-state battery that promises to deliver enhanced range, faster charging capability, refined power delivery, improved safety and robust performance in low-temperature conditions.

Solid-state electrolytes within each cell form a protective barrier, extending battery lifespan and ensuring full compliance with future regulatory standards. This architecture performs exceptionally in low-temperature conditions, enabling immediate vehicle start-up without preheating and providing improved acceleration compared with conventional EVs under similar conditions.

As the first manufacturer globally to achieve mass production of semi-solid-state batteries, the brand targets SolidCore Battery technology to be introduced in MG electric vehicles in Europe at the end of 2026.

At the same time, MG continues to elevate its position in hybrid innovation with its Hybrid+ technology, unveiled at the official opening of its European Engineering Centre in Germany.

The new Engineering Centre in Frankfurt, Germany will serve as a key hub for delivering its “in Europe, for Europe” strategy, which will focus on developing vehicles tailored to the specific needs of European customers.

As far as the Philippine market is concerned, MG Motor Philippines has already introduced Hybrid+ technology locally with the ZS, HS, and MG3. They are closely following these global developments and looks forward to bringing more advanced electrification technologies to Filipino customers in the future.

“The introduction of MG’s latest battery and hybrid technologies globally signals an exciting direction for the brand, and one that we are eager to bring closer to the Philippine market,” said Mr. Wei Wei Zhang, president of MG Motor Philippines.

“With Hybrid+ already available in the Philippines, this represents only the beginning of our electrification journey. As we continue to expand our lineup, our focus remains on providing Filipino customers with global- quality vehicles that combine innovation, performance, and everyday practicality—supporting the country’s transition toward smarter and more sustainable mobility.”
