Overview
- MG opened an engineering center in Frankfurt and unveiled the SolidCore battery, with vehicles for Europe promised by late 2026.
- The tech uses a semi-solid architecture with a small share of liquid electrolyte, roughly five to ten percent, rather than a fully solid electrolyte.
- MG says the pack brings longer driving range, quicker charging, lower fire risk and steadier performance in winter, including start-up without preheating.
- The cells pair a manganese-rich cathode with a Mangan-Capture stabilizer to raise voltage and limit manganese loss, which could reduce reliance on nickel or cobalt.
- Coverage notes MG’s claim of being first in series production lacks third-party proof, and the company has not explained how the Europe-bound cells differ from the semi-solid pack already used in China.
