$SLDP Samsung SDI was the first battery maker to build a dedicated solid-state battery pilot line at its research and development center in Suwon, Gyeonggi, in March 2023. Prototype production began later that year.
It then partnered with BMW and Colorado-based Solid Power in October 2025, fitting solid-state cells into BMW’s test vehicles to validate real-world performance.
“This demonstration goes beyond simply confirming the driving range. [It] comprehensively verifies performance across real-world operating conditions, including charging performance, longevity, safety and stability across a range of temperatures, from extreme heat to extreme cold,” Kim said. https://www.koreajoongangdaily.com/business/exclusive-global-clients-give-early-nod-to-samsung-sdis-solidstate-batteries-executive-says/12748083
