Dreame Technology Officially Announces All-Solid-State Battery Production Plan
The "Star Crystal" all-solid-state power battery unveiled by Dreame features an energy density of 450Wh/kg. This breakthrough not only pushes the boundaries of the company's own technological capabilities but also demonstrates to the industry the significant advancements Chinese enterprises have made in core new energy technologies, becoming one of the most notable highlights of AWE2026.
On March 12th, at the China Household Appliances and Consumer Electronics Expo (AWE2026) held at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, Dreame Technology, under the theme "Dream Big, All in Dreame," exclusively occupied the E7 pavilion. The company officially launched its self-developed "Star Crystal" all-solid-state power battery and announced a clear mass production timeline, drawing widespread attention from the industry.
As an innovative company deeply committed to R&D, Dreame's strategic expansion into the all-solid-state battery sector is not coincidental but a key step in its comprehensive "Human, Vehicle, Home, Sky, Earth, Core" smart ecosystem strategy.
The "Star Crystal" all-solid-state power battery, with its 450Wh/kg energy density, not only represents a breakthrough in the company's technological frontiers but also showcases the achievements of Chinese enterprises in core new energy technologies to the global industry, establishing itself as one of the most compelling highlights of AWE2026.
01. 450Wh/kg Energy Density: Building Dual Advantages in Safety and Performance
According to information released at the event, Dreame Technology's self-developed "Star Crystal" all-solid-state power battery achieves a single cell capacity of 60Ah and a breakthrough energy density of 450Wh/kg. This key metric significantly surpasses current mainstream liquid lithium-ion batteries, which typically have system energy densities of only 150–220Wh/kg, making it a central highlight of AWE2026.
Unlike traditional liquid batteries, all-solid-state batteries replace liquid electrolyte with a solid electrolyte, fundamentally addressing safety concerns associated with liquid batteries such as leakage, corrosion, and thermal runaway. They offer inherent advantages in safety, energy density, and cycle life, representing a critical competitive frontier in the global new energy industry.
With 2026 being a pivotal year for solid-state batteries transitioning from concept to reality—semi-solid-state batteries are already being deployed at scale, while all-solid-state batteries are entering the final R&D sprint and validation phase—Dreame's technological breakthrough arrives precisely at a key inflection point for the industry.
Dreame's achievement is rooted in its long-standing deep investment in fundamental technologies. It is reported that R&D personnel constitute 70% of Dreame's workforce, with R&D investment accounting for over 7% of its revenue. The company holds over 10,000 global patent applications. Its founding team, originating from Tsinghua University's "Skyworks," brings a heritage of aerospace-grade technological expertise.
For this all-solid-state battery development, Dreame leveraged its accumulated expertise in fundamental areas like high-speed digital motors and intelligent algorithms. The project is being spearheaded by its ecosystem company, "Crystal Energy," established in late 2024. The core team at Crystal Energy brings R&D backgrounds from companies like CALB and Geely. In January 2026, the company successfully completed a tens-of-millions-yuan Angel funding round.
Technologically, the "Star Crystal" battery utilizes sulfide electrolytes and dry electrode processes. Through optimized material systems and structures, it achieves high energy density. Furthermore, it integrates AI algorithms to enhance the Battery Management System (BMS) and adopts a CTP 4.0 (Cell to Pack) architecture, underscoring the company's commitment to persistent innovation.
02. Clear Two-Year Roadmap, Perfecting the Ecosystem Strategy
Alongside the technology launch, Dreame Technology outlined a clear roadmap for the "Star Crystal" all-solid-state power battery, targeting pilot production in 2026 and progressing to full-scale mass production by 2027. This well-defined timeline highlights the company's pragmatic approach to commercializing technology and grants it a first-mover advantage—a notably aggressive schedule compared to many industry players targeting all-solid-state battery production around 2030.
Industry forecasts project all-solid-state battery shipments to reach 13.5GWh by 2028, with a global penetration rate potentially approaching 10% by 2035. Dreame's proactive production timeline positions it to capitalize on this emerging market.
Currently, Crystal Energy has established cooperation intentions with three automotive manufacturers and two energy companies. Vehicle integration testing is scheduled to commence in the fourth quarter of 2026, laying the groundwork for the production capacity release planned for 2027.
Dreame's ability to articulate such a definitive production timeline stems from its "Mass Produce One, Develop One, Reserve One" R&D strategy and its extensive portfolio of over 10,000 global patents, providing a significant advantage in technology commercialization efficiency.
The push to mass-produce all-solid-state batteries represents a crucial component of its "Human, Vehicle, Home, Sky, Earth, Core" ecosystem strategy. Dreame's six ecosystem sectors are designed for technology synergy, capability reuse, and coordinated development. The "Star Crystal" all-solid-state power battery will provide core power support for the "Vehicle" sector's intelligent driving and smart cabin systems, while simultaneously integrating with the "Earth" sector's smart energy domain to create a comprehensive, all-scenario energy solution.
Dreame Technology's strategic foray into all-solid-state batteries signifies more than just an upgrade from smart hardware innovation to smart ecosystem leadership; it promises to inject new dynamism into the new energy industry.
With mass production slated for 2027, battery costs are expected to decrease, potentially making advanced new energy technologies more accessible to the mass market. Furthermore, this progress will help secure a more advantageous position for China in the global competition within the solid-state battery industry.
As a representative "Intelligent Manufacturing" company from China, Dreame's technological breakthroughs and production roadmap not only establish a benchmark for combining innovation with industrialization but also contribute to the high-quality development of China's new energy sector, accelerating the global transition of new energy vehicles into an era of "thousand-kilometer range and intrinsic safety" powered by all-solid-state technology.
