It's fantastic. But the truth is that these batteries won't be in every MG electric car right away. Reportedly, it will be a premium car, and it will probably take a few years before they appear in more common models. There's a bit more detail here: MG Announces Groundbreaking Solid-State Battery Electric Vehicle for 2025

Anyway, one way or another, it's a good step, and I was certainly surprised that they will be doing it themselves. I would have expected CATL or someone like that. Maybe they're collaborating with them, but they are managing production on their own. I think Europe has a serious problem

CATL are next door to the SAIC Factory in Ningde at the port. Also the rest of the world wont have Solid state batteries ready for another 3 years. SAIC say this an early version but it will give 70% more range and be 800v? Going into L6 first and possibly MG9 after. Which I expect to be 50k cars.

Yeah, exactly. Similarly, when the internet first started, people claimed we didn’t need it, it was slow, and no one would shop online. Today, they say EVs don't have enough range and that it will never improve. It's just absolute conservatism and the inability to see beyond the next paycheck.

Check you have been paid! Pay Cheque. It won't surprise me as in UK some companies make excuses for missing payments such as HR being on holiday or approver smoking outside at 4:50pm. You should always check. "Pay Check,"
