Volkswagen invests $1B in Gotion, raises stake to 33% for solid-state batteries targeting 1,000km range

Volkswagen has increased its stake in Chinese battery manufacturer Gotion to approximately 33%, following an initial $1 billion investment in 2020. The move strengthens Volkswagen's position in solid-state battery technology development. Gotion has completed a pilot production line with a 90% yield rate and is building a 2 GWh production facility for solid-state batteries. The company's batteries promise up to 1,000 kilometres of range, with energy density of around 350 Wh per kilogram, compared to 280 Wh per kilogram for current batteries. Gotion has filed over 30 patents and claims its batteries can operate in temperatures from minus 40°C to 80°C. The company is also developing a semi-solid battery with 300 Wh per kilogram density as a transitional technology. Volkswagen also holds stakes in QuantumScape, diversifying its solid-state battery strategy.

Gotion leads launch of europe-africa electric logistics corridor. Apr 07, 2026, 00:11 ET A New Model for Low-Carbon Cross-Continental Freight Takes Shape RABAT, Morocco, April 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Gotion, Green Power Morocco (GPM), and Chery Heavy Trucks have signed an agreement to develop a heavy-duty electric logistics corridor between Morocco and France, advancing lower-emission cross-continental freight. The 2,000-km route connects Agadir (southern Morocco) through the Port of Tangier to Perpignan (southern France), currently served by some 2,000 heavy trucks daily. The partners will phase in electric trucks and supporting infrastructure to reduce emissions intensity along this key trade artery. Scalable Partnership Model Gotion and GPM will form a joint venture to manage electric fleets, battery-swapping stations, smart dispatching, and energy storage. Initial deployment includes 100 heavy-duty electric trucks equipped with Gotion battery systems, with further expansion tied to performance and infrastructure readiness. Chery brings commercial vehicle engineering and manufacturing capabilities. Charging & Swapping Innovation A battery-swapping solution is under development to minimize downtime and improve operational efficiency for heavy-duty trucks, supported by work on battery standardization and lifecycle management. Lower-Emission Trade Corridors The project combines electrification, energy infrastructure, and digital logistics to create a scalable model for reducing freight emissions. No carbon neutrality claims are made at this stage; future environmental performance claims will require verified data and certification. Phil Jenkins, CEO of GPM Holding: "This cooperation combines Gotion's battery technology with Chery's manufacturing to tailor electric logistics solutions for regional needs. Morocco's logistics sector holds strong long-term potential." Li Zhen, Chairman of Gotion High-Tech: "This is an important step to expand application scenarios for our battery technologies, supporting practical, scalable lower-emission freight solutions."
