Building on its 101-year British heritage of engineering innovation, MG is introducing a significant advancement in electric vehicle battery technology with the debut of its new SolidCore Battery. SAIC-owned MG is positioning itself as the first automaker globally to mass-produce semi-solid-state batteries for EVs. Solid-state technology often delivers enhanced range, faster charging capability, refined power delivery, improved safety and robust performance in low-temperature conditions.
MG in Europe
This new tech will be developed in the Engineering Centre in Frankfurt, Germany, serving as a key hub for delivering the brands “in Europe, for Europe” strategy. The facility focuses on developing vehicles that are "tailored" to the specific needs of European customers, including regional climate conditions, road environments and driving lifestyles and in time the same methods and practices should be spread across global regions.
MG SolidCore Battery
- MG announces the naming of its semi-solid-state battery technology as the MG SolidCore Battery
- First manufacturer globally to achieve mass production of semi-solid-state batteries
- Delivers longer range, faster charging, enhanced performance and superior cold-weather capability, while a secure battery architecture further strengthens safety
Like all brands that are exploring the vast world of electrification ( love it or not), MG is trying its best to produce what would be a perfected formula and product. The main aim has always been to produce an EV that gives the consumer a better driving range, performance, reliability, and peace of mind compared to an ICE. As far as tech and research go in current times, the SolidCore Battery meets these demands, delivering greater range certainty, rapid charging, and enhanced cold-weather performance year-round. This SolidCore Battery technology will be introduced in MG electric vehicles in Europe at the end of 2026 hopefully, it will then trickle down to other markets.
A quick study on this new tech shows that Solid-state electrolytes within each cell form a protective barrier, extending battery lifespan and ensuring full compliance with future regulatory standards. This architecture performs exceptionally in low-temperature conditions, enabling immediate vehicle start-up without preheating and providing improved acceleration compared with conventional EVs under similar conditions.
"Designed specifically for the European market, the MG SolidCore Battery has been engineered to accommodate regional road conditions, climate variations and regulatory requirements, reflecting MG’s long-term commitment to delivering advanced, reliable and accessible electric mobility across Europe."
MG Hybrid+ Technology
- MG is driving the European hybrid market: 137,000 Hybrids sold in 2025 (+300% over 2024), with the MG HS a top 10 best-selling hybrid model in most countries in Europe
- Hybrid+ technology uses software and hardware to optimise fuel consumption, the quicker delivery of power, and even more seamless integration between mechanics and electrification for improved refinement and driving experience
- Increased battery size improves efficiency, extends electric range and lowers running costs
MG Hybrid+ technology improves fuel efficiency and power delivery through advanced software and hardware integration. It features a 1. 83 kWh battery for an extended electric range and a pioneering 3-speed hybrid transmission for quick torque response. Enhanced noise suppression, high thermal efficiency, and real-time terrain detection empower optimal performance across eight propulsion modes, adapting seamlessly to various driving conditions.
Contention is at an all-time high within the Electric Vehicle space ; we have seen big brands pull out of their commitment to making full EV lineups by tight deadlines set under the pressures of EU regulations. Some brands, however, seem to be committed not only to participating in an effort to comply but also in an effort to improve and innovate the technology, allowing it to reach a point of ultimate convenience that will provide modern-day mobility solutions for the human race. Could the solid-state battery be what all EVs were missing to denounce the issues of range anxiety and long charging times?
