Anhui Anwa New Energy Technology has produced its first batch of solid-state battery engineering samples at its Wuhu facility. The company, backed by Chery New Energy and Gotion High-Tech, aims to establish a GWh-level production line for its solid-state battery (SSB) cells. The initial generation of Anwa’s SSBs features a reported energy density of 300 Wh/kg.
Founded in June 2020, Anhui Anwa New Energy Technology counts Chery New Energy as a 9.89 percent shareholder and Gotion High-Tech holds 5.89 percent of its equity. In October 2024, Chery Group announced plans to commence solid-state battery production in China, and on July 4, 2025, the first engineering sample packs were completed.
The production facility, located in the Wuhu Economic and Technological Development Zone, integrates a full-chain manufacturing line over 35 meters in length. The line includes automatic electrode coating, electrode-diaphragm composite, dynamic heat sealing, and laser slitting to mitigate dust contamination. Anwa reports the line operates at a speed of 20 meters per minute, with a planned capacity of 1.25 GWh. Officials have stated that the engineering samples comply with China’s “No Fire No Explosion” safety standard.
Anwa employs a five-step dry manufacturing process for its solid-state cells, which is said to reduce energy consumption by 20 percent and cut fixed-asset investment by 30 percent. The company’s development roadmap includes establishing a 5 GWh SSB R&D center and an integrated automated production line over the next few years.
In addition to the first-generation cells, Anwa has initiated trial production of second-generation batteries with an energy density of 400 Wh/kg. The company plans to begin volume assembly of third-generation cells targeting 500 Wh/kg by 2027. To date, there is no confirmed vehicle application for Anwa’s solid-state batteries, although Chery’s Exeed Exlantix ET electric crossover was observed bearing “All-solid-state battery” branding.
