Ford Motor Company has confirmed plans to begin mass-producing solid-state batteries at its Michigan Battery Park by late 2025, ahead of their debut in 2026 F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E models. The batteries promise 40% higher energy density than current lithium-ion cells, enabling over 500 miles of range on a single charge and 10-minute fast-charging capability. Ford’s $3.5 billion investment includes a joint research facility with Solid Power, focusing on electrolyte material optimization to enhance durability and reduce costs to under $70 per kWh.
