MG Motor has announced that it will bring the first mass-produced EV with a semi-solid-state battery to Europe by the end of 2026. The company's new battery tech, MG SolidCore Battery, enables longer driver ranges, faster charging speeds, enhanced safety, and improved performance in cold weather. The new battery technology has been refined to accommodate regional road conditions, climate variations, and regulatory requirements. The MG4 with the same battery is expected to remain affordable in Europe, with prices yet to be disclosed. The battery technology will also be used in other MG vehicles like the MG 4X electric SUV.
