SVOLT Energy Technology Co., Ltd. is a leading high-tech company focused on the research, development, production, and sales of battery cells, modules, packs, and comprehensive energy storage solutions. Established in 2018 as an independent entity from Great Wall Motor, SVOLT has rapidly grown to become a significant player in the global battery industry. Headquartered in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, China, the company’s influence extends across the electric vehicle (EV) and energy storage sectors, with a commitment to advancing sustainable energy technologies. SVOLT plays a crucial role in providing green travel solutions for passenger and commercial vehicles, alongside a wide range of energy storage products.
Battery Technology
SVOLT’s technological strengths are built on continuous innovation across manufacturing, materials, cell design, structural engineering, and battery management systems. The company has invested significantly in research and development, accumulating over 10,000 domestic patent applications. A core innovation is its Short Blade Battery Technology, which enables ultra-fast charging capabilities (up to 6C for NCM chemistries), designed for both mass production cost-effectiveness and high energy density. This technology supports rapid charging times, such as 10% to 80% state of charge in approximately five minutes for LFP variants.
SVOLT is also at the forefront of developing next-generation battery chemistries, including sodium-ion batteries, which feature excellent low-temperature performance and offer significant driving ranges. The company is actively pursuing semi-solid-state and all-solid-state battery technologies, with trials for first-generation semi-solid batteries (300 Wh/kg) slated for late 2025 and mass production targeted for 2027. Further advancements aim for even higher energy densities. SVOLT’s focus includes cobalt-free chemistries and proprietary high-speed stacking technology to enhance safety and manufacturing efficiency. Its LFP batteries are optimized for industrial, residential, and renewable energy storage, offering extended cycle lives in large formats suitable for various applications.
