Hyundai to unveil all-solid-state 'Dream' EV battery pilot line in March

Hyundai will unveil its all-solid-state "Dream" EV battery pilot line in March. This new technology promises improved range, faster charging, and higher energy density compared to current batteries. The pilot line is part of Hyundai's $9 billion investment in battery development. The opening ceremony will take place at a new research center in Uiwang, South Korea. This marks the first public demonstration of Hyundai's advanced battery technology. The company plans to begin full-scale production next month. Hyundai aims to mass-produce all-solid-state batteries by 2030, with prototype EVs expected by the end of 2025. Currently, Hyundai sources batteries from other manufacturers but plans to produce them in-house to enhance competitiveness in the EV market.
